Smartphone Talk Part 1 - Prepaid Vs Postpaid

Published: April 1, 2020, 3:02 a.m.

Intro Most of us have smartphones – it has sort of become everyone’s 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 – things to maybe be aware of that not everyone thinks of. Prepaid vs Postpaid Post-Paid You receive a bill at the end of the month to show you what you’ve used. Prepaid Will typically have you pay for the service right up front. Very important to note: Many prepaid carriers are MVNO’s (Mobile Virtual Network Operators). Fancy for, they are just a name on top of someone else’s network. For instance, Metro PCS (Is Metro by T-Mobile). Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile are both just Prepaid plans using Sprint’s network. Cricket Wireless is AT&T. Something both Prepaid and Postpaid have in common: They offer “BYOD”. 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’t like to finance things through my carrier if I don’t have to. Closing Remarks I’d like to our audience and our guest, Vic the cat, for putting time aside to listen to the podcast.
