One advantage to a pay as you go phone is the fact that there is never a contract involved. No 24 month plans and no bills to pay, give you more options and the flexibility that suits your lifestyle. This can be ideal for students whose income can change from month to month. If you find yourself particularly strapped one month, you don’t have to be tied down to a bill that you’d sooner put aside for a short time. With a pay as you go phone you can simply put it aside temporarily until your financial situation has evened out. Then, you simply put more money onto the phone and you’re ready to go again.

Pay as you go phones are also ideal for the parent who simply wants to keep in touch with their child and their child’s school or day care. As a single parent with a full time job, I used to worry about what would happen if something happened to my child and they had to reach me while I was in transit. How would they reach me? While I didn’t want to be tied into a plan for a phone that I was only going to use on rare occasions, I did want to be available if I was suddenly needed by the babysitter or other care givers. A pay as you go phone gives me the opportunity to be available for my children and gives me peace of mind.
