Are You Daily Bound?

So what are the signs that you're Daily bound?  Consider the following tips and questions.

  • You use your phone regularly, but not necessarily consistently.
  • You're lifestyle or preference is such that you don't feel comfortable committing to pay a fixed amount every month, but you're looking for better value that a PAYG plan typically offers.
  • Look for these things when comparing costs:
    • The plan is "usage" based.  This means that you only pay a charge when you use your phone.  If you don't use your phone, you're not charged anything.  
    • If the plan is "subscription based," which means that you're charged the fee whether or not you use your phone, be sure to compare it to Monthly plans.  The benefit of subscription plans is that it allows you to pay only one or a few dollars at a time, rather than having to come up with the whole amount on at a particular time of the month.  So it gives you better flexibility in managing your money, but it's usually more expensive than a Monthly plan would be.
    • Find out what the minimum reload amount is.  The lower the amount (ex. $10 instead of $20), the more flexibility you'll have in terms of when you have to add money to your prepaid wireless account.
    • What other services that are important to you are included, and if they're not, what's the cost?  The most important example is probably text messaging.
    • How easy is it to change plans if you find that the plan doesn't meet your needs or fit with your lifestyle?
