Intro\n\nMost of us have smartphones \u2013 it has sort of become everyone\u2019s personal tool. Today I want to just go over a few things that you could look at before jumping into buying a cell phone plan \u2013 things to maybe be aware of that not everyone thinks of.\n\nPrepaid vs Postpaid\n\nPost-Paid \nYou receive a bill at the end of the month to show you what you\u2019ve used.\nPrepaid \nWill typically have you pay for the service right up front. \nVery important to note: Many prepaid carriers are MVNO\u2019s (Mobile Virtual Network Operators). Fancy for, they are just a name on top of someone else\u2019s network. \nFor instance, Metro PCS (Is Metro by T-Mobile). Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile are both just Prepaid plans using Sprint\u2019s network. Cricket Wireless is AT&T. \nSomething both Prepaid and Postpaid have in common:\n\nThey offer \u201cBYOD\u201d. This is Bring your Own Device. To me, I see BYOD as a great way to avoid too much involvement with your carrier. I don\u2019t like to finance things through my carrier if I don\u2019t have to.\nClosing Remarks\n\nI\u2019d like to our audience and our guest, Vic the cat, for putting time aside to listen to the podcast.\n\nFollow our Podcast\n\nIf you\u2019re a new listener to the Manly Hanley Podcast, we would love to hear from you.
