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?
