A prepaid phone is a mobile device for which credit is purchased in advance of service use. The purchased credit is used to pay for telecommunications services at the point the service is accessed. If there is no credit, then access is denied by the cellular network or Intelligent Network. Users can top up their credit at any time using a variety of payment mechanisms
. Prepaid phones are great for people who do not want to commit to a long-term phone deal and are suitable for those who do not plan on using their phone too often, as they offer a more affordable and flexible option compared to traditional monthly plans
