Pre-Paid OR Post Paid? What is the Name of your Telco/ Mobile Operator?

Hello Iriene. My cell phone is pre-paid, a set amount each month for unlimited everything, and no contract, thank goodness. I hated those! This way is much easier on my budget. My provider is Nextel. Everyone here in the US calls these "cell" phones. Karen

at this time my telephone provider is smart. but honestly i am not satisfied with their service. i am a prepaid user now this is because just like it..

I am using the prepaid system only for the past 13 years. I know how much I talk and have an idea of the amount for which I am talking.Easy to top up.Don't have to issue checks or stand in lines to pay as in the post paid system.The provide is Airtel. I have been a faithful costumer to this company. I call all the phones on the basis of the requirement and availability. The hand phone is commonly called as the land line in my contry.OK?

Hi Iriene, here a mobile phone is called a 'kinito' which comes from the word movement. Everyone seems to have one and they are in constant use, especially when driving. I buy a card from the supermarket with nine euros credit and the nice man puts it in for me as I am useless at anything like that. The card is from a company called Cosmote. They don't work very well though, to get a reception from the house I have to hang over the balcony as far as I can and if it's winter and the shutters are shut there is no reception at all. I only use it from the house when there's a power cut and the landline goes down.

am using prepaid. that was what i was introduced to and it's fine with me. i seldom use my phone anyway. i have globe telecom. i seldom call and text. most communications are by text but i also call both landlines and cellphones.

Iriene.. we are in the same line.. I mean I was thinking of this discussion earlier, but didn't have the time to do it.. I have been really busy don't know doing what.. so, since you started it, good for me to post a response too.. Now, let me just briefly go through your question:- 1) Prepaid or post paid? Why? I am using Prepaid 2) What is the name of the Line Provider/ Mobile Operator? DIGI 3) What do you normally call: handphone or cell phone or mobile phone? I call it mobile phone In deed yes, it is quite common now in Malaysia for everyone to have a mobile phone, and of course some of them even have 2 to 3 phones number (I used to carry 3 phone numbers with 3 phones, and after which I got a phone that can have a dual SIM card)..

I am using postpaid as I don't fancy the need to top up my pre-paid everytime the credit has been used up. It is kind of convenience to use the postpaid. I normally use my mobile phone for calling and receiving calls from friends and colleagues. It is more mobile as compared to the fix line.

I do use Mobile phone and in our country we call it as mobile phone. I use prepaid only and I do not like Post Paid. Chances of misusing the phone will be more in case of Post paid than in case of Pre paid. I use Hutch and now Hutch is sold to Vodapone. So, I am Vodapone user, in our country Mobile operators are Vodapone, Reliance,Airtel, Bsnl and Idea provide services..

i've been using prepaid ever since i have a cellphone. it's been years since they offered post paid here but i never did think of availing one. I'm not into texting or calling. I only use or hold my phone when i received a text,someone's calling me or i need to text a message or call someone. unlimited credit will be useless for me then..

i use pre paid service and that is fine,i have never used post paid service but have listned that some times bill go beyond your thinking in post paid service,i use airtel sim card in india

I have a prepaid line but I do also have a postpaid line. And my mobile provider is Globe Telecom - I'm from the Philippines by the way! Here in the Philippines, having two mobile phones is a usual thing. Actually, some have more! We are not the "texting capital of the world" for nothing! Hehe! Happy MyLotting!

Hi there Iriene88, I guess today, nobody can live without a cellphone. I use a pre-paid account. Why? Because I dont call out much. I am a stay at home mother so basically I am always at home. I dont need to call out much and even if I do, I use the fixed line. And many people call me on my fixed line too. My cellphone is only handy during the weekends when I go out. I use Maxis. It rocks as it gives me many freebies. I call them handphones. But in myLot, I call it cell phone as it sounds more universal?

Iriene88, I use a post-paid service because the bill is paid by my company. The service provider is Maxis Communications Malaysia. I choose Maxis and remain a faithful customer is because Maxis is customer-friendly and provides my needs. If I encounter any problems, the customer-friendly staff solves my problems most of the time immediately. Most of all, they give me good rebates for my bills. I was even invited for a sumptious dinner for discussion on how to provide better services. We in Malaysia call, 'hand-held phone'but later popularly call, 'handphone.' All the Best.

I have a prepaid phone because its the cheapest option for me. I usually don't use my cell phone, except in emergency situations. And, where I live we always call them cell phones, although some people call them mobile phones (but thats rarely). I've never heard of the term "handphone"...

I am not sure about your country, but getting a postpaid is so much cheaper and convenient. If you are worried about overspending, you can in fact ask the telco to set a limit of your choice! Prepaid is such a hassle.

I have used Nextel as my cell phone provider for many years...never pre-paid. I originally chose Nextel for it's 2-way option, which I still find very convenient. I probably use my cell phone more than I use a landline phone because I'm regularly at different places throughout the day...at home...at our business...or on the road...and it's easier for people to reach me if they just call my cell.

1]I am using postpaid connection of my operator,i like postpaid connection only as there is no tension of recharging the phone for phone calls and we can pay the bill from home also.. 2]well i am using MTNL DOLPHIN postpaid plan it from india (mumbai). 3]i call just "mobile" or somtime only "cell" for my mobile phone.
