Pre-paid vs. Contract Cell Phone Service


 
Communication
If you are a market for a new wireless plan, you may be wondering if the prepaid contract or the plan is the best option for you.

There are several things to consider before you make your final decision.

Pros of Prepaid

There are many good things about selecting a prepaid or "pay-as-you-go wireless plan.

* No credit checks! Most carriers ask for your social security number, and then run a credit check before you allows you to create an account with them. If your credit score is less than what they think is acceptable you will be asked for a deposit. Deposits, depending on your credit score may be less than $ 100 or as high as $ 1,500. There is no deposit required pre-payment plan.

* It is not surprising bills! At the end of your billing cycle, you will never have a surprise! Always know exactly how much you can afford to spend your cell phone plan, knowing that you can not go over that amount is a huge relief.

* No Contracts! You are not tied to a contract, so if at any time you want to cancel your account or switch to another carrier, without the need to be able to pay a huge fine.

Arguments in favor and awarded the contract,

Contract with the carrier locks you into a specific time with them, usually 12 or 24 months. There are many advantages to signing a contract with the carrier.

* Free Phones When you sign a 1 or 2 year contract, you can often get free or at highly discounted phone from your carrier! This may allow you to its much nicer phone, one that can use the Internet and e-mail.

* Free-Network Calls Most carriers will allow you to make free calls to friends and family if they are on the same network as you. Do not you do it for free network calls often, instead of you to make free calls to a number of their contacts.

* It is cheaper if you stay within your block of minutes per month, you'll see that you have to call for a lot cheaper than you pre-payment plan.

Cons of Prepaid

* Price per minute for text and you always know how much you spend on your prepaid phone, your cost per minute and per text message, the price is much higher than it is to the agreed plan.

* With pre-paid contracts are limited very limited type of phone you choose. You may be able to get a camera phone, but you probably get the phone that you can use use the internet or check e-mail.

* Roaming If you plan to leave their place of residence can be found that are just where you're actually using your prepaid phone roaming coverage.

Contract deficiencies

* A credit check before you sign a contract with your carrier, they will ask you for your social security number so that they can perform a credit check. If you have bad credit, you can not deny them services or asked to pay a large deposit before they will give you the service.

* Breaking the contract if still within their contract and move to another location or simply want to switch to another carrier, you will be asked to pay a termination fee. This fee can be pro-rated left-month contract, or it may be a large fixed cost over $ 250.

* Update Phone If you break your phone or you just want to update it you will find that the air carrier, or ask you to sign a new contract, or they will charge you the full cost of new replacement phone.

* Change if you make any changes to your plan, your carrier can see it will automatically renew your contract, locking you for another two years.
