Prepaid phones

 Now that more and more people have cellphones, most people want the most updated versions with all the access of apps and everything. Although this is true there are still some people who use prepaid phones.I know that a lot of people who use prepaid phone use them because of money issues . Prepaid phones are cheaper and do not come with a monthly bill. People who can not afford monthly phone bills which are very outrageous, use prepaid phones so that they can still have access to communicating on the go. They just pay for minutes whenever they have the money. Also a lot of parent use prepaid phone for young pre-teen. They don't want to buy extremely expensive phone for a preteen who could be irresponsible and drop it or leave it somewhere, with the prepaid phone the parent can still have contact with the preteen with less expense. Just because some criminal are abusing the use of prepaid should not be a reason for government to ban them ,  they should make companies have more of an effort to not sell prepaid phone to just anyone, by getting a little information from the person with their purchase. This way it could reduce the crime and everyone would still the option of getting a prepaid phone if they want one.

  1. I agree with Marisa, many prepaid phones are used for people who don’t want to pay more money for a phone service which has monthly bills. I also agree that there should be some information required to get a phone so it will hopefully limit the amount of criminals who purchase them.
