The mobile phone is indispensable at this time. Always accessible and often see if you have a message. This is all very easy, but it costs money. Because you try to find the cheapest way, it’s good before the purchase to ask yourself, subscription or prepaid? What’s right for you? Concludes you subscribe to a mobile service provider. This gives you the option to always automatically each month to make calls. This goes by minutes or an amount to be spent per month. Often there is a phone with a subscription of high value, making it an attractive offer is. Minutes You paid for a fixed number of minutes per month. These are the minutes that you can call in a month. This is not the first month until the 1st of the month, but often a few days later. The number of minutes you choose, varies widely. You can not think of it, or the number they offer. The more minutes, more expensive. If you have your calling minutes, is longer than allowed, you pay per minute. This is often very expensive. Often the same with call minutes, text messages that you often have to buy separately. Here again you pay a fixed amount per month for a fixed number of text messages. If you send more text messages than allowed, you pay again (often) expensive rate.

An amount to be spent per month

Here you pay a fixed amount per month, and for this amount you can call and text that month. How one minute call will cost and how much a text message costs varies by service provider. Each month you get back the number of dollars to spend, and so you do not have credit to buy. Whether a provider chooses to provide minutes or an amount to be spent, to their own. It is often the case that a particular carrier, but one of the two offers, not both. The rates also vary by service provider overall.

What is prepaid Prepaid means that you make your call (which you call money) to buy. This can buy you a lot of points, and often 10, 20 or 30 euros. That credit can be as long as you like. If it is, you buy new. The rates per minute or text message also vary by service provider again.

Subscription or prepaid? In choosing from these two, you should note the following things: What you call? Is often the case that the more you call, the “cheaper” the subscription. You actually pay less per call minute, so that’s cheaper. If you are calling has a lot to recommend subscriptions. If you are short calls, prepaid is better. Want a high-value phone there? Because there is often a subscription to a phone is worth that much, they are often cheaper to deal separately and handset purchase, together with prepaid. Want tied to fixed costs? If you do not want to pay down each month, it is unwise to take a subscription. You must save a little here, and may buy credits if you want.
