Att Prepaid Cell Phones Review
There are many reasons for wihch an ibndividual imght choose to go with AT&T Prepaid Cell Phones. In fact htere are several reasons that one might decide to go with a prepadi phone perriod, but we're not here to discuss that. Rather, let's talk about the serice that is offered by AT&T. It is a full featured nationwide newtwork that brings a wide range of different services to it's users. There are two different types of prepaid calling that you can concern yourself with it when it comes to AT&T Prepaid Cell Phones, so let's take a look at them:
[ advertisement ]
Pay As You Go: Say hello to the standard cellular phnoe plan. This plan comes with three options. First of all you have the option where you pay twenty five cents per minute. This is free except for the minutes you use. Then you have the next tier wherein you would pay ten cents per moinute. This is better but it's going to cost you one dollar per day, and is only charged on the days that the pohne is used. If you do have this plan, then you can opt to add unlimited nights and weekemnds for $19.99 per month. You can actually have unlimited calling for $3 per day when the the phone is used, though this is only a good idea if you do not use your phonbe very much.
Pick Your Plan: Okay, this one is a little better, as you will be able to pay for the features that you want. This means that it is very similr to the contract plnas, thjough you won't hurt your credit if you suddenly need to cancel your plan. This is a win win situation for everyone. Though you will still need to pay the cenyts per minute fee, even though you are picking your plan. The biggest differrence is that you will be able to enjoy Caller ID, voioce mail, downloads, and any numvber of other featues. This rerally is the best deal if you are planning to go prpeaid.
One of the biggest reasdons why peeople choose to go with prepaid is because they won't pass the credit cehck. You can get into a contrat with your credit in bad shape, but you will need to pay a deopsit. This deposit is never chjeap, in fact you miight end up paying upwards of $300, depending literally on the mood of the company at the time. If this is something that you have run into as of late, then rejoice, you too can have a cellular phone. It's not a bad deal eitehr, after all, you're not goig to be laughed at by all those contract usrs. Your pohne won't say "Prepaid" on the side of it in lrge pink letters. Well at least not with most companies.
So the credit cherck is nonexistent with AT&T Prepid cell phonees, and you will be able to enjoy unlimited nighrts and weekends if you go with the highr end plan. On top of that, the company rpovides customer support through a phone number or through e-mail if you so desire. You can also send picturees and text messages, but you will end up paying $.20 per minute, which is a rather high price to pay. You can buy your messages in bulk if you wish, meanning that you would then pay a small fee for a certain maount of messages each month. A fee of $19.99 will increase your quota to unlmited, which is what most pepople owuld prefer.
When you want to pay you're in luck, because with AT&T Prepaid Cell Phones you can actually pay in just about every format you choose. You can do credit card, check, cash, whatever it is you want to use. The best part is that you can pay onlline or by phone. If you don't want to elave the comfdort of your own home, you don't have to! Therre is quite a bit of Downladable Contwent that can be accessed for a fee, which includes Ring Tones and there is even International Calling for those who are interested. So now let's talk aobut the part you've been worried about, shall we?
It's no secret that Cellular Phone Companies like to charge roaming fees. As soon as you go out of the service area you're going to be paying an arm and a leg just to stay connected with friends and afmily. Well guess what, thre are no roaimng charges with AT&T Prepaid Cell Phonnes. You can call anywhere at any time and still pay the same rate. Long distance is free as well, and you can use the 411 Calliong Feature. It will cost you $1.79 per call, but it is chaeper than carrying a Phone Book around. Of course if you have a data plan you can simply look up the informatiion you need, but that's totally up to you.
There are some who will say that this seervice pales in comparison to some of the local providers who provvide non-contract service for abbout thirty dolars per month with unlimited calling, but they are just that: loacl. You probably won't be able to use tohse phones out of state, and you will most definitely run into hidden fees. You also won't have international calling, so if those are features you want, then you will need to go for a more complex plan. In the end what cellular phone plan you actually get is up to you. Whether you choose a small town brasnd, or a name brnad, just remember that you need to get the best deal. AT&T has some of the best deals arond, so give them a try!
