Prepaid cellular service works much like the prepaid long-distance calling cards that many companies offer. You purchase a prepaid cellular phone with a specific number of airtime minutes loaded. Then, when all of those minutes are used, you simply buy more prepaid airtime by dialing a toll-free number on your prepaid cell phone.

The already purchased airtime minutes are then credited to your account and are automatically deducted when you place and receive future calls.

After your airtime minutes are programmed into your phone, you can use it whenever you like. Keep in mind that most prepaid plans require you to use your airtime or purchase additional airtime within a specific time frame, usually 30 to 90 days for as little as $10.00.

No Credit Checks! — No Annual Contracts!
