It would be postpaid for me. I've had this line since 1996 and I'm happy with it. It works for me because I text and call a lot & it's good that I get monthly free SMS and allotment for calls. Aside from that, I get a new phone from this network regularly. It's also a bonus that I won't have to worry about not having credits for calls.

Well mine is postpaid. Yeah with prepaid you can earn more money but now as my bills are paid by my dad i don't have a problem as such LOL. We have family system i.e calls between my mom or dad is free. So apart from them its only my friend whom i call. So whether pre or post its doesn't make a difference.

postpaid just needs some monitoring, free calls are good

I have pay-as-you-go (prepay) because i dont use it enough to cover the cost of a monthly contract. Also, it means I know exactly how much I've spent without the fear of scary bills. I keep a check on how much credit I have left so I dont run short &, if it gets low and I dont have the spare cash to top-up, I dont use it unless its an emergency.

I was on postpaid, and I just got it canceled today.......well it can be a pain in the wrong place sometimes......the charges can just be so very exorbitant and you cant really keep a track of where you have spent your money.......they also sometime tend to overcharge you...... In prepaid you can have full control over your call costs and budget, you can recharge as per your usage and absolutely hassle free...... So I am glad i got rid of post-paid......specially it is not advisable for people with low usage, or if your company does not pay the bill......lolzzzz

I think that depends on the person using the mobile service since even though you are in a prepaid plan but do not monitor the amount of prepaid cards you are using in a month, then the will be worse that using a postpaid line that has consumable amount.

I've been using postpaid since 1997, and I don't intend to switch to another network provider or type of service. I shall stick to postpaid. The reason is, I do not have to worry about having insufficient credit when I want to talk. Though postpaid is more expensive (there's a minimum fee that you've to commit each month), I'd be far less stressed.

you are right, postpaid is more manageable
