Cellular phones. What in the world would we do without them? If you're current calling plan is more of a hassle than help, perhaps you should consider prepaid cellular. Prepaid cellular is now offered by many wireless carriers and although prices vary from carrier to carrier, the idea is the same: you buy the phone; you buy the minutes and you pay as you go. Think of it as the cellular equivalent to long distance calling cards. Have you fulfilled your two-year commitment to your current carrier? Are you kids begging for a cellular phone of their own? Would you like for your elderly parents to join the wireless revolution if only for emergencies? Consider prepaid cellular!

No Credit Checks
Perhaps you have less than perfect credit. Most regular cellular companies will check your credit and may require an initial deposit to open an account. Perhaps your credit is perfect but you're saving up for a house or other big ticket item and don't want to risk the two or three points that your credit score could drop just from the inquiry alone (yes! inquiries can lower your credit score). Consider prepaid cellular - no credit checks.

Easier to Replace a Lost/Stolen Phone
Consider the following two scenarios:
1. The unthinkable happens, you loose your phone and you use regular wireless. You had better get on the phone fast and inform your carrier - someone out there could be having a field day with your minutes! You'll need to replace your phone. If you didn't purchase the optional equipment warranty, plan on paying the full retail price for your replacement.
2. The unthinkable happens, you loose your phone and you use prepaid cellular. No worries. Purchase a new, inexpensive phone with the same carrier. Call the carrier, explain the situation and have your old number changed to your new phone. Done.
|
Price per Minute is Expensive
The price per minute is expensive compared to regular cellular plans. The price per minute varies between prepaid cellular carriers, but is often 15, 20 or 25 cents per minute, significantly more per minute than regular cellular plans. If you plan to use your phone a lot, pay as you go can get expensive.

Great For Elderly Parents
Your parents still have a rotary phone at their house. They don't have a computer, much less a cellular phone. You worry about them. Prepaid cellular is the way to go. You can enter the important numbers into the phonebook, teach them how to use the phone and gain a little piece of mind. They have emergency communication if they need it.
|
Read The Fine Print
Prepaid cellular can include a lot of hidden charges, so be sure to read the fine print. These charges vary between providers but can include a daily fee for using the phone and extra fees for text messaging, downloading songs, playing games and using a web browser.

Keep Your Phone Number
Recently, the FCC (Federal Trade Commission) enacted Wireless Number Portability (WNP). What this means is that you can transfer your old phone number to your new phone, even if you change wireless carriers. This applies to switching to prepaid cellular as well.
|
No Freebies
Many regular cellular companies offer special freebies. Free nights. Free weekends. Free text messaging. Free calling to other users. More often than not, prepaid cellular does not include these freebies. You pay as you go whether it be day, night or weekend.

Dependant on Minutes
A prepaid cellular phone will only work as long as it is loaded with prepaid minutes. Sure, adding minutes is easy, but it requires some action on your part. It would be terrible to be cut off in the middle of a conversation because you forgot to add minutes.

Reception May Vary
Like regular wireless, prepaid wireless is only as good as the reception that you get. Unlike regular wireless, with prepaid you don't get a trial period or a return policy. If you purchase a prepaid phone, but have to drive 20 minutes out of your way to get a signal - you have no recourse other than to try a different prepaid carrier.

The Phones Are Basic
Typically, you won't find your top of the line phones in the prepaid aisle. While they are improving, many offering cameras and music capabilities, consumers who need serious data transfer or PDA functions are out of luck.
