Sms/call Combination

I am actually using a prepaid plan for the reason that I want to control my mobile phone load expenses. Although it's good to have a postpaid plan where you don't have to worry about running out of load and not being able to contact key people during emergency situation, the disadvantage of getting a postpaid plan is that you tend to go overboard with your data, SMS and calls. I know it's kinda lame but I'd rather be a prepaid subscriber for cost-efficiency's sake.

 

I seldom use my phone for calling home because it is allowed in the office as a consideration to employees. What I use my phone for is the internet because our office have no wifi and it is not allowed. It is good that I have a plan for my phone so the internet is unlimited. Not to brag but that plan was provided by our company because I requested for it reasoning that I have to be in constant touch with my family - my mother is sick.

 

To be fair - I think - it very much depends on which country you live in, what the tariffs are, how often they change - as well as how much you use your phone - as what the cheapest option would be.

Which as we only have a standard tariff - that is extremely high - where I am - regardless of the kind of contract or type of calls - as is the monthly standing charge - I much prefer - as I hardly use my phone for anything other than making and receiving calls - when out and about or staying away from home - to use a prepay plan - as apart from not being able to justify paying an extraordinary high monthly fee for a service I barely use - its very definitely the cheapest and most cost effective option for me.

In fact so much so - that since switching to a prepaid plan some 4 or 5 years ago - the amount I've saved in monthly fees - is really quite significant.
