What are legitimate uses for a prepaid cell phone service?

Answer by  lcapurro812 (237)

Legitimate uses of this service depend on an individual's lifestyle. For people who do not use a cell phone frequently prepaid service is much more economical.

Usually, this is a question of credit. People with bad credit can't get approval for a contract without a large up front deposit, so they use a prepaid phone.

A prepaid cell phone service lets you control your spending, as you will not be able to make calls once you have used up your available minutes.

If you only need a phone number as a means of contact, but don't really talk to a lot of people, a prepaid phone makes sense over a contract.

If you use a cell phone only for emergencies, it makes much more sense to pay even $1 per minute than to pay $30 or more per month.

You do not need to worry about having to keep up with phone bills, but rather, pay as you need the service.
