A prepaid mobile phone (also commonly referred to as pay-as-you-go, pay-as-you-talk, pay and go, or prepaid wireless) is a mobile phone for which credit is purchased in advance of service use. The purchased credit is used to pay for mobile phone services at the point the service is accessed or consumed. If there is no available credit, then access to the requested service is denied by the mobile phone network. Users are able to top up their credit at any time using a variety of payment mechanisms.
The alternative billing method (and what is commonly referred to as a mobile phone contract) is the postpaid mobile phone, where a user enters into a long-term (generally lasting 12, 18, or 24 months) or short-term (also commonly referred to as a rolling contract or a 30-day contract) billing arrangement with a mobile network operator or carriage service provider (CSP).
"Pay-as-you-go", "PAYG", and similar terms are also used for other non-telephone services paid for in the same way.
A mobile phone is a telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency carrier while the user is moving within a telephone service area. The radio frequency link establishes a connection to the switching systems of a mobile phone operator, which provides access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Most modern mobile telephone services use a cellular network architecture, and therefore mobile telephones are often also called cellular telephones or cell phones. In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones support a variety of other services, such as text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming, and photography. Mobile phones which offer these and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.
The first handheld mobile phone was demonstrated by John F. Mitchell and Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1973, using a handset weighing c. 4.4 lbs (2 kg). In 1983, the DynaTAC 8000x was the first commercially available handheld mobile phone. From 1983 to 2014, worldwide mobile phone subscriptions grew to over seven billion, penetrating 100% of the global population and reaching the bottom of the economic pyramid. In 2014, the top mobile phone manufacturers were Samsung, Nokia, Apple, and LG.
Cricket Wireless is a prepaid wireless service provider in the United States. Cricket Wireless offers voice, text, and data and is a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T Inc. As of 2011, it provided prepaid wireless services to approximately 5 million subscribers in the United States. Cricket Wireless was founded in 1999 by Leap Wireless International, Inc. On July 12, 2013, AT&T Inc. agreed to acquire Cricket's parent company Leap Wireless International for $1.2 billion. The merger was approved by the Federal Communications Commission on March 13, 2014, and later that same day, Leap Wireless announced the completion of its acquisition by AT&T.
Leap Wireless launched Cricket Wireless' first market in Chicago, Illinois on March 17, 1999.
On September 4, 2007, competing carrier MetroPCS announced a $5.3 billion bid to merge with Leap Wireless. Leap informally rejected the bid less than two weeks later. MetroPCS officially withdrew the bid less than two months later, on November 1, 2007.

This is my personal opinion on the best prepaid services through walmart. Please note, as I will state in the video every service here you can get from Walmart. I do know there and tons of other prepaid cell phones companies out there but i concentrated on one store, and since Walmart has the biggest cell phone selection I chose them for my video. Thanks for Watching you all are amazing.
Prepaid Plans vs 2-Year Contract Plans Theres a brand new phone about to come out on a carrier that you are not on. You feel trapped. You even feel like canceling your contract, to pay a huge cancellation fee. Why dont you just go Prepaid? There are many competitive prepaid plans for our high end smartphones. STFU and let @TheHoodTechMan break this down.

Privilege Speech of Senator Sotto on Registering of Prepaid Simcards Senate Minority Leader Vicente “Tito” Sotto III on Tuesday pushed for a measure seeking to require phone service providers to require registration of buyers as prerequisite to selling prepaid sim cards.

Astronomy 105: Weather and Our Atmosphere The Astronomy 105 class taught by Heath Hatch of the Physics department launched a weather balloon into the atmosphere at approximately 10:15am on April 19th 2012 from the Mullins Center fields at UMass Amherst. The balloon was airborne for around two and a half hours, and it touched down safely on the roof of the VA Hospital 80 miles east in Bedford. After seeing similar videos online, we thought this would be a fun experiment to try to integrate into the classroom experience. (We are currently preparing a write-up of the procedure as well as the data analysis. Preliminary calculations give a maximum height of ~90,000ft, minimum pressure of 3kPa, and a minimum temperature of -40 degrees Celcius, however this is to be confirmed). Electronics:...
