Prepaid Phone Cards

When you opt for a prepaid phone, you won't need to commit to a long-term contract and can often avoid activation fees, overage charges, termination fees and fees for changing carriers. By buying a phone card, you can more easily manage your phone budget. For example, international calling cards are a great way to control costs when talking to friends and family abroad.
The flexibility to change carriers or only pay for what you use makes calling cards a natural choice as cell phones for seniors or children who may only use them in emergencies. Having a cache of prepaid minutes means you can get a hold of your loved ones when you need to without a high monthly bill. When you need more time, just purchase a top-up card and add it to the phone.

There's a variety of carriers and phones that you can use with a pay as you go plan. You can even get a prepaid option with a newer phone, and from a wide range of manufacturers including Apple, Samsung, LG, Nokia, BLU and more.

There are a number of carriers you can explore for a variety of phones and plans. Popular picks include Cricket Wireless phones, Tracfone phones, GreatCall phones, AT&T Prepaid phones, Verizon Prepaid phones and more.

When you use a pay as you go phone, you may need to use a prepaid phone card. These are cards that you pay a flat fee for and get a determined amount of data usage or phone minutes. You can use these cards to either activate a new prepaid phone or add minutes to a phone you already have.
