Daily Plans

You might have thought that daily plans should go between the pay-as-you-go and monthly plan types, however, I listed it third for a reason.  Simply because these types of plans were introduced into the market after the monthly bucketed type plans.  So think of the list as an evolution of products that were launched over time.  The spirit of these plans is to provide you with a better value than the pay-as-you-go plan, but not quite as good as the monthly plan.  Here are some common features of these plans to look out for:

  • Is the plan subscription or pay-per-use?  A subscription plan means that you put money into your account (ex. $10), and each day, whether you use your phone or not, your daily charge is deducted from your account (ex. $1 per day).  If it's pay-per-use, if you use your phone on that day (for anything), you'll be charged the daily fee (ex. $1 per day), however, if you don't use your phone at all, you won't be charged anything.  If the rate for these two types of plans are the same, you'll definitely want the pay-per-use plan over the subscription plan.
  • What are the rates?  Sometimes these plans simply give you discounted rates.  For example, pay $1 per day and get 5 or 10 cents per minute instead of 15 or 20 cents per minute.  However, sometimes daily plans will give you a bucket of minutes or even unlimited minutes.
  • What other services are included?  Look for other charges for voicemail, wireless web, text messaging, etc.
