With the changing mobile market, there are several new features and aspects that are available to the end user.
Gone are the days when the person used to have a reason not to own a cell phone.
In fact, many people have bought cell phones after the costs of the cell phones as well as the cost of the service have come down.
One such feature and service that caused many individuals to buy mobile phones was the pay as you go mobile plan.
Here is a brief description of the plan: In the pay as you go plan, you buy a number of minutes from the mobile service provider, which are provided to you in the form of either a SIM card, or a pre activated cell phone.
As and when the number of minutes that you have bought is used up, you can either buy more minutes, or you can opt for another mobile service provider.
Because of the flexibility of this usage, this plan is also called the prepaid plan.
This plan has several advantages over the Post Paid plans, and is specifically beneficial to particular people.
Here are just some of the people for him this is a great plan: A Good Idea if you are a Traveler: The prepaid plan is a good idea if you are travelling frequently and are not on a network that covers all the states and even countries that you are traveling to.
Also, in some cases the network charges for a roaming call is quite expensive, giving the rise to the need of a local, prepaid SIM card.
A prepaid SIM card will normally have you buy the preloaded card and you will be able to use only the number of minutes that you have bought.
A Good Idea if you are a first time mobile user: A prepaid mobile plan is a good idea if you are planning to check out the services and usage value of the various mobile service providers.
You can buy these cards and use them for a month or so, or till your minutes are exhausted, so that you get a better idea about how the service provider works.
Of course, some service providers may have a different network for the prepaid and postpaid services, but you at least get a basic idea of how the company and its' service works.
Best for Budget Mobile Users: The prepaid mobile plan is also a very good idea if you are a budget mobile user.
If you like to know how much you would be paying exactly for your mobile service even before you use it, you should opt for this plan.
With this plan, you will have a clearer picture of the amount of money that you would be paying.
Also, a prepaid plan does not have the various add on services and charges, so it also works out as a cheaper alternative post paid plan, as long as you take care of your outgoing calls and keep a tab on the number of outgoing calls that you make.
