Which do you prefer to when you load your mobile phones? it is a prepaid or postpaid? For me, I used to have a plan because if you avail the plan of the company every 3 years they gave you a free cellular phones as part of their companies policy.

I rather have postpaid. Some people say that they want to have total control over of what they use. You can have total control with both prepaid and postpaid, as long as you know how many minutes you have. The issue I have with prepaid is if something happens to your phone you just can't call customer service and be able to get a replacement, as for postpaid when something go wrong with your phone you can get a replacement. I also do not like the the fact that with prepaid you have to constantly refill your account when you run out of minutes.

Yeah, they are right Mizz. I also used pan but sometimes I consume more than the minimum bills. I think, I better to stop using plan so that I can limit my used. But I know it takes more than a year because we have a contract for two years and If I will break the contract I paid the penalty/ surcharge. well, thanks for sharing your comments with us and have a nice day ahead godbless

I would like to have prepaid load instead of post paid for simple reason that I can adjust anduse my phone accordingly. I now what is the balance left with me and how much more time I can talk on my phone. So accordingly I then use my phone. I am not a phone freak, I normally don't speak a lot with my friends and others. I just prefer to talk with my sister and some time with my mother who are staying far away from our place. Normally my wife is practically in touch with my mother every day and that makes my job easier! But as far as my sister is concerned I call her atleast once a day to gather all the news frpm her as practically every one known to me calls her because of her nature. More over after passing away of my father I feel more about her as she was too attached to him. For these reasons I talk with her for pretty long time every day. Because of this after every call I make I get balance amount on my call and accordingly I plan my next call. If had this been a post paid one then perhaps I would have ended up with big bills to pay at the end of the month. More over many a times I heard from my friends that they have received huge bill without actual use of the phine, which many a tims the company attribute this as a technical part. This thing can be tolerated if it is happening one time or two, but it becomes pain in neck when these things are repeacted from month to month. Another advantage what I see in pre paid load is we can come to know about the recent schemes floated by the company if any, like reduction in of the tariff or providing concession in distance calls or giving more talk time for lesser money etc. Thus I prefer pre paid load than post paid. Thanks , it was a nice discussion to participate in! Thanks !

Well, people just like you akrao need to prefer the prepaid load so that they can saved money unlike the plan , postpaid. They can limit their consumes of loads. I think it is also a good way to save money. I really admire your opinion about this discussion and I'll try to have a prepaid load instead of plan. well, thanks for sharing your comments with us and have a nice day ahead godbless

Postpaid user for almost 10 years now. I don't like the hassle of having to load and load. And, yes, I usually collect the free phone or discounted phone.

Postpaid and prepaid are the same I guess. Because they have advantage and disadvantages of availing it. it is up to the users if what type of load they wanted to be. Just like you, you are satisfied with the postpaid because you don't want to be hassle of loading and loading, scratching and scratching the prepaid. well, thanks for sharing your comments with us and have a nice day ahead godbless

Yeah, but I guess the prepaid is better than the postpaid. sometimes, my bill is out of my budget and over my limitations. I cannot stop calling my friends if I am excited and happy. I think the prepaid is better because I can adjust my consume of load. well, thanks for sharing your comments with us and have a nice day ahead godbless

pre-paid i think is better also because you can have money you spend on the phone better on control than other method of payments..so normally i have a pre-paid card on teh mobile phone and i think it is more comfortable.

I prefer postpaid as that is all I have ever used. It is much more convenient for me as I have a set number of minutes, and I have never gone over my minutes, and I hipe I never do either. I use my phone everyday, and I just wouldn't want to have to constantly buy minutes all the time. To me,that would be a big hassle. I will just stick with what I know and have used for several years. Take care, and have a very good day.

Hello Candyrayne. Well it is your choices to choose what type of load you wanted to be. sometimes, prepaid is very hassle for me because when I need to call my sister in another country, I need to buy and buy not like the plan. without limitations but be sure to pay the bills every end of the month to avoid penalty and stopping your contract. Well, thanks for sharing your comments with us and have a niceday ahead Godbless
