Things you need to know about prepayment phones

Before purchasing a prepayment phone, there a quite a few things that you will have to look into before making a decision. These include referring back to my previous topics, please also find a few pointers:

How much do you spend on your calls and whether you will be able to save money as with a contract phone the monthly line rental must also be factored in. The best way to look at this will be to see if your spend is more or equal to the line rental charged by your proposed network provider. If the provider also offers you free minutes which you think are sufficient for your needs then you may have bagged a winner. If you could keep the calls down to a minimum or just within your allowance then you are better of with a contract phone.

Prepayment phones offer the flexibility foe not paying line rental and that you can also change your phone whenever you wish. One thing that you need to know is that prepayment phones are not always subsidized by network providers and that is the reason why you pay more for them.

In my next post I will continue to discuss prepayment phones. Look out for it and also feel free to forward any of my postings to friends and foes. This can be done by clicking on the envelope icon next to the "comment text"

Prepayment phones

Hi guys sorry for the delay in my postings, this has been due to reasons beyond my control. From now henceforth I will ensure that I do keep on posting on a regular basis. As I mentioned in my earlier post I am going to highlight the benefits of a prepaid phone.

Prepayment phones otherwise known as pay as you go phones can sometimes be a good thing to have, but this all depends on individual circumstances. Here are the benefits of having a prepayment phone.

* Easier to budget your phone calls as when the phone is topped up with credit, it only allows you to use what credit you have and this enables you to monitor your cost and not get hit with a huge bill.

* You are not tied into a contract, this can be another benefit for some of us, as there is no long term commitment, you can choose to upgrade as often as you want unless the network provider indicates otherwise.

*It can be handy as a second phone without a contract, some pay as you go phones are offering amazing deals but its advisable to check out for promotions that are on at the time.

*It is a means of obtaining a phone for some who do not have a great credit rating for one reason or another.

In my text post I intend on continuing to discuss in detail the way in which a prepayment phone works including more benefits. I hope you have found the information useful, if you know anyone who may benefit from any of my postings feel free to forward it to them by clicking on the envelope icon next to the comment text.

Prepaid phones uncovered

Prepayment phones otherwise known as pay as you go phones have been on the market for a while and are becoming popular among many of us. Such price plans can also be a good way to budget your phone calls. This is because the calls made on the phone are limited to the credit paid to the network operator, If you need to make another call you will need to top up the credit on the phone.
Many or most mobile phone operators offer pay as you go phones. Various networks offer different rates and you usually pay to obtain the phone as well. Depending on your situation it can save you a lot of money, but you are better off going through my checklist to see if you are better off on a prepaid phone. If you find budgeting hard I will recommend a prepaid phone as this enable you to keep track of your phone call cost without having to call the network for the information.
Some mobile phone companies attach conditions to pay as you go phones in the sense that you will need to regularly top the phone up within a given time frame or use the credit on your phone within a period of time otherwise the credit on the phone reverts to zero irrespective of the amount of credit left on your phone. If you are intending on purchasing one ensure that you find out what the conditions are otherwise you might be worse off.

I hope you have enjoyed and managed to benefit from the postings so far. It brings pleasure to me in assisting others in the best way possible.

In continuation to my postings on choosing a contract phone another aspect which you must look into, is whether you will calling or taking the phone abroad, if so, it is worthwhile looking into various mobile phone operator rates, and seeing whether there are any special offers for when you call abroad. Some operators offers competitive rates for international calls, the prices are subject to change, so its better if you ask your operator about the current rates to the country which you will be calling.

If on the other hand you will be taking the phone abroad, it is a good idea to ensure that the phone you select does have the capability to work in the other country. Phones come in dual band triband and quadband. This relates to the frequency on which these phones work on. Not all phones work in all countries. Before you travel abroad with the phone you must also ensure that you ask about the rates abroad, as you will also be paying to answer any calls made to you whilst abroad as well as making any calls. For more information on this check my previous post dated 16 May 2006 it will shed more light on how this works.

Getting the latest phone every year for cheap or free

Thanks for coming back to read how you can ensure that you get the best mobile phone deal. I hope you have learnt a lot from my posting, I can assure you that there is going to be many more tips and information posted on the site.

As I stated in my postings that you need to get it right when choosing a mobile phone contract, getting it wrong could lock you into a contract which could also end up draining your hard earned cash out of your pocket. In order to avoid this you really need to sit down and provide answers to the questions in the post.

After you have been able to provide answers to the question which I have posted, you will also have to ensure that you are aware of how long the contract is for, various networks offer various contract lengths. There are some offering 9, 12, 18 months or even longer. The longer the contract you sign up for the longer you will have to retain the same phone, unless stated otherwise by your network provider. It could also mean that you will have to stick to the price plan for the duration of the contract unless otherwise stated by your network provider.


If you are an individual who likes to change phones on a regular basis without having to pay through your nose, then the contract length is an area which you may want to pay attention to. If you are tied into a 12 month contract, then you may be entitled to an upgrade in the 11th month by some networks. But the longer the contract is the longer you may have to retain the phone, or unless otherwise stated by your service provider. Always ensure that you know how long the contract is running for and whether you are able to afford the upkeeping of the phone for the period of the contract, also determine how often you may wish to change your phone as well before taking on the contract.

I hope you have been able to gather some knowlegable information from this post. Feel free to forward the post to anyone who you know that can benefit from the information provided on the site. If you also have a relevant blog or website and feel that your subscribers or readers will benefit from the information feel free to link to my blog.
