The Benefits Of A Pay As You Go Plan For Your Mobile Phone

The weekend before last, I went shopping. I needed to get my Christmas shopping out of the way. I usually like to get it all done in one weekend before the crowds get too big. I ran into an old friend of mine, and was absolutely shocked with his exuberance and happiness. He is usually in kind of a sour mood. I asked him why he was so up and bouncy.

He proudly showed me his new mobile phone. I was impressed. It was the latest model, with all the latest gadgets. He beamed even further when he showed me all the functions. As I was watching him proudly show me his new toy, I remembered that he had always had very poor credit. I wondered how he could get such a wonderful phone with such lousy credit.

So when I asked him about that, he told me that he got a kind of contract where you only pay for the minutes as you use them. Instead of signing a contract, he just goes into the shop, pays in cash, and they add more minutes to his phone, based on how much money he gives them. Of course, because he didn’t sign a contract, he couldn’t get a free phone, but that didn’t seem to bother him.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized there are lots of benefits to having a pay as you go plan on your mobile phone. You’ll never have any minutes left over at the end the month, you don’t have to worry about going over either. And if you don’t use your phone for six months, you can pick up right where you left off.

What shocked me even more was that his pay as you go mobile phone had all the things you’d expect on a tradition plan. Email, text messages, voicemail, and GPS. All were included. I was so impressed that I decided on the spot to get my own pay as you go mobile phone.

I think this is a fantastic example of the type of service industry the mobile phone industry has evolved into. You can only guess what they will be like in five years or so.
