Pre-Pay Users Should Switch To Contracts
In the US there's always talk about using more prepay offerings (which aren't very popular here) to sign up customers who otherwise wouldn't sign up for a mobile phone. In Europe, pre-pay is much more popular. However, a new study in the UK finds that many pre-pay users would save money if they were on a contract. Of course, part of the end result of this study is that it pushes people to the company that ran the study's own website, helping them pick the right mobile phone plan - suggesting that the study itself might be a bit biased.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
