Trying to find a phone plan that’s paid by the minute, not by the month. I want a phone that only charges me when and if I use it – no recurring monthly fee whatsoever, and no ‘inactivity’ fees either.
I don’t use my phone much at all. Even if it costs $5 per minute, that would still be cheaper for me than even the cheapest monthly plans. And I don’t need any data connection at all, ever. Just voice calls and texts.
Such a thing used to be possible, but after searching and searching, I can’t find any such thing now. Do they no longer exist?
I have one in the UK, not sure if they call it PAYG over there but may be worth searching for that.
I’ve searched for ‘pay as you go’, but the results are full of companies that charge monthly fees, just charged in advance, without a contract.
That’s exactly what prepay is.
No contract, no account, no bill in the mail.
You buy a month of use and it stops working when the time is up.
Nobody charges per minute because the analogue networks have been shut down. All network traffic: calls, text, Internet, it’s ALL data now.
