pre - paid service better than monthly charged fee service?

If you're looking for cheap, I think that's deff d way to go. I mean I love that i have att n can have better phones w/more features. But for now my parents r paying for it. When i get out on my own n tats no longer happening I will pbbly go to pre-paid. becuz face it, it's A LOT of money for monthly service. LOts. I dont exceed my minutes n i have rollover so tats good if I do. but I think the problem is they just charge way too much for monthly billing. and if ur like me who never really calls anyone then prepaid is best. plus i have to pay extra for texting. ive seen a lot of prepaid cards with texting included. so tats a lot better.

I prefer a pre -paid service for a cell phone. That way I don't go over my time . It is to easy to rack up charges that I couldn't afford otherwise. I think they charge too much for most of their services anyway .

I prefer prepaid service. Monthly service is way over the top. It's full of unbeneficial charges. We're usually paying for nothing in a monthly planned service. Prepaid is a lot better because we're in control in our phone usage be it text messaging or phone calls.

I am on a monthly plan with a set amount of minutes. I have enough minutes that I will never go over them as I don't get all that many calls from other networks. I have never used a pre paid phone, as I doubt it would really serve my purpose. The only phone I have is a cell phone, so I need to use mine everyday, as I get calls everyday. I also do text messaging which is part of my plan. I wouldn't have a plan that didn't have unlimited text messaging, as it can cost dear to go over the limit. My daugher has already done that, and she had to change her paln so she can have unlimited as well, as her and I text a lot. I think the bad thing about pre paid is you have to keep getting more minutes and to me that is a hassle. I prefer the kind I have as I ma used to it, as I have been using this kind of phone for 6 years, so I on't know anything else. Good luck to you and happy myloting.

It's pre paid for me. It's like getting something with no strings attached. Post paid would normally require you to present documentation which is a bit of a hassle and you'll be paying for more than what that you should and of course there's the monthly billing that you have to contend with. Unlike prepaid where after purchase you basically get a good night sleep. Cheers!

uh yea i would prefer to hav a pre-paid service .... one f the main reason is that it is a bit inexpensive than post-paid n fits my pocket . n further it limits you within an enclosure above which u cant exceed (i mean the pre-paid balance) n limitless value added services they provide.. n the other thing to b worried in post paid service is the hidden charges .. whoa . those r real head aches for a user . considering these factors i thing a pre-paid service would b an ideal option than post -paid!

It depends on the usage. For certain services prepaid is better but for certain postpaid is better. Earlier I was using a prepaid connection as my usage were very low. But now I have to travel a lot because of my work. And every time I can't go to the shop to get my number recharge. Yes when I started using my postpaid connection the credit limit was very low but now it has increased. And even in postpaid ISD call charges (in certain bill plan) are less than that of prepaid. So there are some benefits that I am getting in post paid which make postpaid my choice.

Hi Clorissa,

THE Prepaid service is more better than the monthly fee service,
and also this prepaid service would has more benefits and also no need to
pay any amount for the hidden like charges. Most of the companies would charge
us many more extra charges on the method of monthly charge fee service, so that
is the reasons all the peoples would like to have the prepaid service
instead of monthly fee service or post paid services. Most of the time
I used to have the facility of the prepaid service in order to enjoy
the more facility than the postpaid services.

Have a nice day.

for me the pre-paid service is cheaper for me. I do not use a cell phone only for emergency. I put 10 dollars on my phone every month and still have left over. My phone company also gives me reward. when I reach a certain amount I can use that to put minutes on my phone. Paying monthly you would have to be on a long contract which cost you more than the phone to cancel. Happy lotting.

I like pre-paid services better than post paid because it gives a lot of flexibility to me.I would be able to change the service when ever I want. i wouldn't be billed more than I could expect. And as you mentioned sometimes post paid connections make us pay for accidental activations to different services.
