which do you prefer prepaid or postpaid mobile?

I have more peace of mind having a post-paid plan or a contracted phone. Contract phones are simply that a contract that you and the seller agree on. You have control at this point in time. The terms are there in black and white, and they can't change anything on your agreement without giving notice. If you need to dispute something you have something in black and white to back you up. Pre-paid or no-contract phones you don't have that. If the rates change over night they liggely don't have to tell you. And, if you get the bill and its suddenly not what you expected, they would have expected you to keep tabs on the terms of use yourself. I'm happy to be on a contract I really am. My bill is what I make it, and I know exactly what will happen if I do, or don't do something. Contracts aren't for everyone, but it is for me.

I love my data plan, I text, call, use the internet. I have a blackberry addiction.

postpaid is bad, we subscribed years ago, our credit limit is only 500 per month, but when we look at the bill, its 1500 pesos. its much better to use prepaid, its convenient and cheap, everywhere u go, there's always a store which sells load...

Hello I had both at one time or the other, right now I have a monthly and its cool, I love being able to talk whenever I want anytime I want, I could not do that with my pre-paid, but if push came to shove and that was all I could afford I would go back to pre-paid in a minute. Thanks.

I prefer prepaid, with prepaid i can control my monthly outcome, but postpaid is cheaper to use.

postpaid is the best option if you are not very talkative and not worrying about much bill.

definitely post-paid. Up until a year or two ago, typical pre-paid ranged somewhere between 10 cents to 25 cents per minute. I've used on an average 2,500 to 3,000 minutes a month on my phone. That's not counting text messages & data usage. Even if we go with the cheaper end of the pre-paid side, my bill would've been between $250 - $300 per month. I'm paying $90/month right now. That's around 3 cents per minute. Even now, large number of pre-paid service charges you around same amount per minute, 10 - 25 cents per minute. More & more companies now are coming out with pre-paid unlimited plans. I've looked into few of them but their coverage wasn't too good or wouldn't work in places I need to use my phone. As far as peace of mind goes, I know that no matter how much I use my phone, my bill won't be any higher than $90/month. I can live with that.

since i am not a big spender on cellphone load so prepaid service is more appropriate for me, I only load my account whenever i need it. with prepaid service, I can also control my spending on loads.

Right now i'm using a postpaid cp.Yeah,you're right there are advantages and disadvantages in postpaid.likewise,in prepaid.I am a user of both.When i'm in a tight budget, I prefer to use the prepaid. Whichever you like, you can choose anyway.It all depends on your budget.

I would prefer pre-paid mobile over post-paid mobile service. With pre-paid service, I will be able to monitor the amount of talk time that I exhausted. This will help to control the amount of money I spend on the service usage.

hi, I always prefers prepaid connection whhich is better from my point of view.. In post paid you donot have extact idea that much u have used which causses a problem in postpaid.....and afterall their is monthly charges....and other charges.....

Well, it should really be on how much income you and your spouse are bringing in to the home. When the income is low if you don't want to go crazy and fight over money and get a divorce you need compensate on what you can afford and you cannot..living within your means is called. I can only afford a prepaid phone for now. It works for me because I don't make that many phone calls. I buy enough minutes to last me a year though. I only recharge the minutes once a year. If you can afford it then go for it. Buy a blackberry, redberry, blueberry... you name it and call and text your heart out.

It is always good to have prepaid.I think it is the best.Lot of offers are coming to the prepaid users.By using prepaid we can also be in control of money.If it is postpaid then I will be in a mind set we can make more calls or use internet..like that and then worrying after we saw the bill.So it is good to have prepaid.

prepaid is the best because you don't have to pay the monthly bills without any usage... its cheap, convenient and i prefer having prepaid connection...

I always go for prepaid ,Because it is always the safe side.I know how much to spend for cellphone everymonth for that prepaid is the best choice.If I go for post paid I will lose lot of money ,because normally I don't use mobile for outgoing,I have landline too,So If I choose postpaid I have to spend lot of money for that.Post paid is suitable only for people who speaks a lot.SO I prefer prepaid

For me I prefer a postpaid line because it is more convenient for me. Unlike before I had to rely on my helper to go to the store to buy load for me but now it is easy. I do not need to think of keeping some load to text a person. But of course I miss my first number ever. Also, I like the unlimited calls or texts when you are in prepaid. But for convenience purposes, I go for the postpaid one. Besides, I need a billing statement so that is why I got a postpaid plan as well.

I prefer Prepaid because I can control my spending habits that way.With Postpaid it's too tempting to over call and really BLOW my budget.

i also prefer prepaid. i used postpaid for about a year till january last year. i used it for unlimited internet service for a fixed fee per month, because with prepaid they used to charge from the balance every time we surfed. but now i'm using prepaid again.

Well, I would prefer the prepaid mobile is good. I was using my postpaid connection for more than 7years. but the only advantage in postpaid is you will get very good customer response. But if you have a prepaid then customer service is somewhat average.

Hi rosey, I prefer the prepaid mobile. In prepaid, I can control my expenses and set a budget for my monthly phone credits. And just like what you've said, I won't need to worry about a monthly obligation. It's nice to have a postpaid line, but it's risky for me because I may spend a lot more than my allotted budget. I like prepaid more, and it's easy to manage coz there are a lot of services and reload stations in every corner of our country. ;)
