I too have a pre paid connection. Its much better and you get a lot of offers in your phone so you can really utilize the full potential of the mobile service.

I am using two numbers and I both have prepaid mobile service. I think its cheaper and I can track down my usage. I also use mobile internet with my mobile service and its one of the features that I like to use with my mobile provider. My brother and sister has postpaid mobile service but its too expensive and I think I can't spend that much money just for mobile services.

I prefer to use prepaid sim as what i am currently using. I used this because i don't want a monthly bill as postpaid do. But in prepaid it is on you if you want to buy prepaid load or not.

I have prepaid connection too. Apart from all the features and perks that we receive, there is one very crucial aspect, due to which I go only for a prepaid connection. We can set an upper limit to the balance. I used to have postpaid at one point in time and oh boy, the bills! At least now, even if I am out of balance, I don't top up till the next month. Happy myLotting!

I am on post paid on my mobile. I can use unlimited text and unlimited call. If you are a Filipino you know what is my mobile subscription is. For me I save a lot from it as my friends are also the same mobile service as mine and they are unlimited too, you know me I always like to talk with my friends.

Hi dhawanbm, Mine is a post paid connection. There are benefits to post paid but I was actually looking to convert to prepaid - since my usage is really very low. Unfortunately, I was given to understand that I can't "convert". It would be a totally new number or to stick with post paid. I prefer to keep my existing number.

If your asking on how I would like to spend on our mobile phones, most of us here in our country would be availing on Pre-paid. Whenever we're out in our balance we'd just reload and we happen to be able to load in different amounts. There are also plans from different service providers but, I guess those who earn a steady amount as well as use their phone regularly would be advisable to use such plans.

My mobile connection is a postpaid connection.I got this connection under my dad's name.I have got a very good plan in my connection.I got many minutes of free talktime and messages.I can also check the amount of time i have talked through messages.Some people prefer prepaid as they are scared of the high bills.They are also scared about the cheating of bills in postpaid connections.

My mobile connection is Pre Paid. I prefer this one since it would just be a waste of money if I'll apply for a post paid and I don't normally use my celphone that much. At least with prepaid, there are already a lot of promos like P20 for 100 text messages and a lot more. I guess that prepaid is much more cheaper compared to post paid, even those who loads their prepaid SIMs with P300 or P500 call card cause usually these cards are good for 60 days.

While I like prepaid, I prefer my post-paid as that's the only option for my phone at this moment. I do, however recommend the prepaid phone for someone who just needs a basic phone and maybe some added features.

I have two mobile phones.One is for personal use which is post paid.The purpose of this phone is to mainly relive and respond to the calls.So I never call anyone from this phone unnecessarily.The usage is very low.The other one is the business phone .This is Post paid so as to avoid the annoyance of not having funds in between a crucial conversation.

I have a prepaid and also a post paid connection. Both are from the same service provider. I dont surf the net much from my mobile phone. But as there are certain features in each type, I prefer to have both.

I have prepaid sim cards. I really prefer not to have any kind of debt whatsoever. That will lessen my liabilities greatly and improve my assets. It is good to know just how much you need and how much you spend. At least you wont go overboard with texting or with extending the time of each calls that would make you exceed the postpaid plan that you have enrolled on. Its good to be debt free and just use prepaid.^_^

I use post-paid... The way I use the phone, per-minute comes out cheaper on post-paid than pre-paid... I go through somewhere between 2,500 - 3000 minutes a month... If I were to use pre-paid, I couldn't afford it... I'm paying $121/month now but in comparison to pre-paid, it's not that bad..

I am using prepaid for my phone. I dont really used my cellphone more often so it will be a big lost to me when i will used postpaid. Theres no particular requirements as long as i can text and used it to phone calls. In a month i'll spent 300 pesos just less than $6 a month so theres no reason to take postpaid.
