Im curious how we all use our cellular phones and how we get the service?
most here in the Philippines have prepaid phones where they have the option to reload their phones via cards with pin or via loading stations?
Or Do you have a cellphone with a fixed plan?
thank you in advance!

Before I was a prepaid subscriber then I switched to postpaid. When I was a prepaid subscriber, I use to spend less. Now that I am postpaid, I spend more. When I became a post paid, I didn't have to worry about losing load.

I prefer to use prepaid ones because I know how much I can use for this month only. I don't want to go on plans because I can't afford paying it monthly when I know I can't even consume the said inclusions for the said plan. It's more convenient for me as well because I have my own reloading business so I get to load anytime I need it.

Hi Chiyosan!
Mine is prepaid as well. It's better not to have something I'm paying for every month. Bills give me stress. Although sometimes, those cellphones which come in postpaid plans are tempting. They are mostly the expensive ones and the high tech ones, right? So sometimes, I think of getting a cellphone in a postpaid plan. I hope I won't give into temptation because I would definitely regret it.

i do have both types of subscription, prepaid and postpaid plan.
i know the convenience of having a prepaid but still, there are some disadvantages like when you run out of load at night and there is no one you could go to buy load when you have too important matters to finish at that time.
with postpaid, all you have to think is you have to pay for monthly. and there are also too many postpaid plans that you can choose from.

I prefer to have a prepaid service because I don't use my mobile phone that often. Most of the time it's off and I only text and hardly ever call anyone. A fixed plan is sometimes too costly so I pike the prepaid option. If I run out, I can go and recharge the amount I want. Plans do have their extra benefits and I've had services call me to change to a plan but I just want to use my credit at my own pace rather than pay every month or so.
