Prepaid Calling Plans

Prepaid calling plans allow you to buy a block of minutes up front at a fixed rate. This prevents you from having any surprising overage charges when you get your bill. Another advantage is when you need more minutes you add them by calling your provider and providing them with a credit card. However if you compare the number of minutes you get to the cost you will see they are generally more expensive than standard calling plans. Additionally you won’t get any free off peak calling times. However if you use the phone only for emergencies or are on a very fixed budget this type of plan will work you.
