Take Back Your Freedom - Go Prepaid Wireless!

Prepaid wireless is taking over and it’s here to stay! Don't want to sign a contract?  Tired of early termination fees, unexpectedly large bills, and unused minutes? Then a pay-as-you-go mobile phone is the way to go. Going prepaid allows you the flexibility of adding money/minutes to your account as you need them without having to sign a contract. Recently the value of prepaid plans has become so good that it can easily compare to many postpaid plans. Also, if you're concerned about your credit score, as many of us are these days, or have bad credit and can't get a postpaid plan, no worries, with prepaid there's no credit check. Just buy a phone and load dollars onto your account whenever your account balance runs low. Check out What is Prepaid? and Why Prepaid? to learn more about this exciting option.

With industry growth comes new providers, new phones, and new plans, and best of all, lower prices for customers. There are so many plan options these days, including per minute, per day, monthly, and even unlimited. With all that choice though, comes complexity and confusion that was never there before.

Having worked in cellular for a many years, I have had the opportunity to see the industry grow, and have launched new prepaid products and services. As the years went by, I found people within my company, as well as partners, retailers, and distributors getting frustrated over how confusing it has become. This led me to think about how difficult it is for customers who want simple, easy-to-understand services at the best price.

So along came the idea for this website. To provide a source of information to guide you in understanding the types of prepaid wireless products and services out there - one place for you to read and learn about the different things available to you, and hopefully untangle the confusion and mess of terms and technologies.

Also included on the site are some new and exciting prepaid services, including Prepaid Broadband, Aircard Rental, Prepaid Wi-Fi, Prepaid WiMAX, 4G Wireless, MiFi, traveling abroad with Prepaid SIM Cards, and more!  Hopefully you'll find these topics interesting and a useful resource.

Lastly, let's not forget the exciting world of Prepaid Smartphones, Touchscreen Tablet PCs, and Wireless Reading Devices!

While I certainly don’t know everything in this area (far from it!), hopefully by sharing what I’ve learned over the years, you’ll find a lot of answers to your questions, and pick up a few things that will help you as you use pay-as-you-go services.  If I’ve missed something of interest to you, or if you have a question about anything I’ve written, please don’t hesitate to Contact me, and I’ll do my very best to help you, or add new pages to this website. Chances are that if you have a question, thousands of other people are asking themselves the same thing!
