Pre-Pay Gaining Acceptance

While post paid plans for cell phones still remain the most popular among consumers, a recent research a New York Times report shows that the counts for the cheaper alternative of getting pre-paid plans has went up significantly.

According to the report, Pali Research count at least a 13 percent increase last year – something noted by the Times as a three-fold growth compared to the standard post-paid plans.

As to why people are making the switch, the Times got to interview some users and were able to find out that paying $120 per month on a phone isn’t really practical anymore with what’s going on with the present economy. And with an average of $8 for budget in its pre-paid counterpart, switchers might be making savings right there.

Of course, post-paid users might be foregoing certain benefits (i.e. subsidies) by switching to pre-paid, but it’s really a matter of whether or not it’s well within your budget to enjoy such luxuries.
