Metro PCS initiated the massive change of cell phone contracts to the prepaid or pay-per-use movement. It was much needed and brought cell phone service to millions of people who wanted a cell phone but couldn’t or didn’t want to be locked into a 2-year contract with the Big 4 cell phone companies: At&t, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. They didn’t have the best phones and they didn’t have the best service and to this day they probably don’t have much of a coverage area but they still filled a huge demand that eventually caught the attention of the major carriers who saw hordes of their customers leave after to see how much money the big boys were overcharging them.

The Big 4 saw the writing on the wall and had no choice but to find a way to compete with Metro on a level playing field and began acquiring their own prepaid carriers that would run on the same powerful towers their customers were stuck on. the contracts were using,

You have probably heard of most of these names. Boost and Virgin Mobile are the prepaid services that belong to Sprint. At&t has Red Pocket and H20. At T-Mobile they offer Simple Mobile and T-Mobile Prepaid. Verizon also has its own prepaid in addition to Altell and Page Plus,

Large super chains like Best Buy, Walmart and Radio Shack are spending millions to advertise the fact that they offer all these services, so it has become very clear that the contracts are out and the prepaid cell phone is here to stay.

That’s good news, but let’s take it one step further. What if I told you that you can have unlimited text, talk and internet and you can have it for free? I know, what’s the catch, right? I said the same thing when a good friend of mine told me that he not only had totally free cell phone service for himself but also for everyone in his household.

Three major players have seen the writing on the wall and have been able to tap into major ad dollars from brick-and-mortar stores that have shifted their focus from the market for computers, HDTVs, and other electronics to providing customers with a variety of phones and more. to an even wider variety of cell phone services.

Prepaid wireless carriers have even taken a bold step to open stores throughout their coverage areas, as Metro PCS has been doing for some time.
Whether this was a wise financial decision on their part, however, remains to be seen, as their phones and services can be purchased from dozens of other places, both physical and online.

The cell phone has replaced the computer as the number one consumer electronic luxury. In fact, the cell phone is really no longer a luxury item with over 300,000 in use in the United States alone. Not everyone may have a large flat screen TV, but the cell phone has broken down barriers for every demographic. Our children have a cell phone, our parents have cell phones, and even people on fixed or very low incomes seem to carry a cell phone.

As the consumer becomes more educated, the industry will grow much faster and change is already gaining momentum. Those of us who have been slaves to 2-year contracts for years are beginning to see that they now have another option. With almost all prepaid services now offered for just $40-$60 per month, the average person could easily save $1,200 or more per year on their service while keeping the same phone, number, and basically the same service when switching. a Pre-paid services offered by Big Four affiliates operating from the same towers we are using with current contract services.

Many people have heard of these companies but are unaware of their affiliations with major carriers. Let me tell you about these companies if you want. Unfortunately, by the time this article goes viral, you’ll probably see links attached to it which I suggest you ignore due to the fact that these will be paid advertising links and probably not your best source for finding the information I’m going to leave you with. help you find legitimate plans as well as legitimate sources that serve you best.

At&t offers Red Pocket and H20
Sprint offers Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile
T-Mobile offers Simple Mobile and T-mobile prepaid
Verizon offers PagePlus and Altell, as well as Verizon Prepaid.

Chances are you’ve heard of some of these services, but had no idea that they were not only available to you, but actually ran on the same towers that postpaid contract services use.

Let’s talk a little bit about these towers because it is very important to know what services will work with your current phone. Basically we have 2 systems that are being used in the cell phone industry which are GSM and CDMA.

GSM phones are phones that require a SIM card and these are the phones used by At&t, T-mobile and their prepaid services mentioned above. GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Technology. Notice the word “Global”. A GSM phone can be used all over the world. You may or may not need to get a temporary SIM card when traveling abroad, but the GSM network has quite a few advantages over its counterpart.

The SIM card in a GSM phone is assigned to the subscriber’s phone number instead of being controlled by the phone itself, allowing you to insert your SIM card into another phone with the same operator and continue to use it.

The CDMA phone does not require a SIM card and is therefore carrier locked. Verizon, Sprint and their prepaid services use this tower. It has great service but unfortunately it is mostly used in the US and parts of Asia with a few exceptions. CDMA stands for Code Division Multiple Access, which doesn’t really tell us much, but at least you won’t have to Google it.

There is much more I would like to tell you, but I could go on forever. If you have an iPhone or Android, you’ll probably want to subscribe to my feed because there’s a lot you need to know. In short, an Iphone, Android or any other phone with a CDMA carrier (Sprint or Verizon) will not work with a GSM carrier (At&T or T-mobile) and the same applies when using a GSM phone with a CDMA carrier.

Let’s get back to the topic at hand. The prepaid phone industry is a money saver and money maker if you choose to cash in on this booming industry.

I will conclude with this. In the last 10 years I have spent over $20,000 on my At&t contract. I liked the idea that after a period of time I was able to upgrade to the new and better phone at little or no cost, thus keeping me as a customer since 2002. What I didn’t realize was that I was actually paying for 2-3 times the actual retail price of those phones over a 2 year period due to being overcharged for my service and half the time I didn’t even understand most of the charges.

Before I switched to prepaid service with LifeMobile, I was charged $30 for my Samsung data plan and another $30 for my daughter’s iPhone. Another $30 for unlimited text messages on top of the basic $80 tray to cover my minutes and when they broke up with me I had a $240 phone bill.

I now have unlimited talk, text and 4G data for $50 and my daughter has unlimited 3G for $40. Now, what I am about to share with you is not for everyone, but I did bring up the fact that many people are taking advantage of the multi-billion dollar cell phone industry and making a very healthy income by sharing it with others.

Maybe you’re stuck in a contract and don’t see a way out, but if you look closely at the numbers, you’ll find that the money you save in the first 2-3 months will cover any early termination fees you may incur. Every month after that is just money in your pocket. Some providers will even set up a payment plan which makes it that much easier. You simply make them a monthly payment with the money you’re saving and still have some extra money in your pocket.

That’s good news, but let’s take it one step further. What if I told you that you can have unlimited text, talk and internet and you can have it for free? I know, what’s the catch, right? I said the same thing when a good friend of mine told me that he not only had totally free cell phone service for himself but also for everyone in his household. It took me a couple of weeks, but now I have totally free unlimited 4G for my whole family and I make a living helping others in the process.

So it’s time to make a switch and find the prepaid that’s right for you and your family. Think of all the different ways you could enjoy the thousands you’ll save this year and for years to come.

We have a choice today and that’s a beautiful thing.
