A Prepaid Cell Phone is a service in which you are limited to the number of minutes depending on the one-time plan you paid for. While signing up with a cell phone company means you have a contract with that company and pay several different fees to cover your calltime minutes, Prepaid does not provide fees other than the connection fee and airtime minutes, thus a little cheaper. And because there's no contract, you can discontinue your service without having to pay a termination fee. However, once you activated your Prepaid account, you are given a set amount of time to use up your minutes before you are disconnected and get a new one. For example, Cingular Wireless's $15 prepaid plan gives you a time limit of 1 month to use up your $15 worth of minutes on your phone before renewing. And

For example, Cingular Wireless's $15 prepaid plan gives you a time limit of 1 month to use up your $15 worth of minutes on your phone before renewing. And if there's any minutes left once your time is up, they are discarded with no rollover. Many people prefer the contract service mainly because you have more minutes to use and little worry for renewal. If you can't afford the service fee, or you are not going to use your phone often, Prepaid is the best plan.
