What is prepaid cellular service?

A prepaid plan is a type of plan offered by some wireless carriers that allows users to pay in advance for wireless service. This type of plan differs from traditional, monthly-billed plans and is not offered by all wireless carriers.

Prepaid service allows a user to buy minutes in advance. When minutes run out, the user must purchase more minutes to resume service. This eliminates the effect of overage charges and other fees associated with contract accounts.

This type of plan can be a cost-effective alternative to traditional plans and is great for those who need to closely monitor and budget their wireless usage.
