Pre Paid Wireless More Popular than Contract Cell Plan

Cell Plan Study

A new study has been release by the New Millennium Research Council stating that for the first time, the number of pre paid wireless customers exceeded the number of people looking for a contract cell plan. There were 4.2 million cell phone subscribers added during the last quarter of 2009.  Of these, almost two-thirds were pre paid wireless buyers.  That is a 17% in increase in the pre-paid market from the same time the year before.  Today, one out of every five cell phone subscribers use a prepaid phone service.

How Much are Customers Saving?

No longer are those with no or bad credit the only fans of  pre paid wireless.  Today’s good-credit  consumers realize that they can save 50% – 75% on  their cell plan spending by choosing a pre paid wireless plan; and that is what they are doing.   The study also states that those who are staying with their contract cell plan are letting go of the extras such as e-mail and texting.  Consumers are also studying  their cell phone bills much more carefully and subsequently talking and texting less.
