Prepaid Phones

Prepaid phones

When you want the convenience of a cell phone without the commitment of a long-term contract, you have the option of using prepaid phones. Different rates and features are available to fit your budget and needs. Walgreens.com offers cell phones from brands like TracFone and T-Mobile.

Cell phone rate options

Like standard cell phones, most prepaid phones are paid for on a monthly basis. They can be refilled at your convenience, though, which eliminates late fees. Some prepaid phones also allow you to pay as you go, meaning you can add minutes and text messages as needed. Others allow you to pay only for the days you use the phone. Consider how often you plan to make calls, send texts, and browse the Internet on your phone when selecting a prepaid phone package. Selecting a rate plan that matches your typical usage makes it even easier to budget your phone service. Account information is accessible from prepaid phones, so you can also keep track of your usage as you go.

Cell phone features

Prepaid phones include many of the same features as phones purchased from contract providers. A camera phone is the standard, so you still have the freedom to take and send pictures or videos when using the prepaid variety. For hands-free talking, select a Bluetooth-enabled phone and pair it with a wireless headset. These phones typically include a variety of ring tones and wallpapers to choose from, so you can customize the phone to your style. If you select a plan that allows Web usage, you can also download image and sound files.
