Sprint Prepaid Cell Phone Cards Do Not Need Expensive Monthly Plans
![]() |
Sprint prepaid cell phone cards are an excellent way to have the convenience of a cell phone without the monthly charges. Sprint, which is now called Sprint Nextel Corporation, is one of the largest telecommunication companies in the world. Therefore it is no surprise that they offer cell phone services, especially Sprint prepaid cell phone cards. These pay as you go cell phones have several advantages and disadvantages of which buyers should be aware.
Before you can utilize Sprint prepaid cell phone cards, you need a prepaid (or pay as you go) Sprint cell phone. These are generally inexpensive cell phones that can be purchased at Sprint retail locations or local department stores. For simple communications such as emergency only cell phones, the least expensive cell phone model will suffice. The initial Sprint cell phone purchase is a one-time expense. The Sprint prepaid cell phone cards are an ongoing expense. Air time must be purchased for the Sprint phone when the previously purchased minutes expire.
Additional air time can be added to these cell phones by simply purchasing Sprint prepaid cell phone cards. These are available at many department stores and grocery markets. The cards come in denominations, for example, of 30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes. Other amounts may be available. Once Sprint prepaid cell phone cards are purchased, the air time on the card can be added to the cell phone by calling Sprint, or over the internet. Once air time is added, the Sprint cell phone should be updated immediately with the new total.
Users of Sprint prepaid cell phone cards must monitor their cell phone usage carefully. The available minutes are usually displayed on the phone's screen. The usage rate is normally one air time unit equals one minute of cell phone usage. Note that long distance roaming or text messaging may use the air time faster than local calls. Another potential disadvantage of Sprint prepaid cell phone cards is that the minutes usually do not expire, but additional air time must be added to the phones every few months to keep the account active. Even if the user does not need to buy additional Sprint prepaid cell phone cards, he or she may need to do so simply to keep the service active.
Cheap cell phones combined with Sprint prepaid cell phone cards are an excellent way to provide the convenience of a cell phone without a huge monthly bill. The user determines how many minutes to buy, and how many minutes are used. With Sprint prepaid cell phone cards, the cell phone user is in control of his cell phone bill.
