Y are drug dealers and terriost the 1st things that pop up in ppls heads when u talk about prepaid phones??? 95% of them are used by law abiding citizens who either A) dont use a phone enough to justify a monthly bill B) cant afford a monthly bill or are credit chalanged or C) dont want the hassle of a contract.
just because 5% of the users use it for illegal activities doesnt mean all users should be grouped in that catagory.... i bet more illegal transaction are handled per day over contract plans than prepaid phones.
its this ignorance that allows the gov't to get away with stepping on ppls toes....have you heard about the guys arrested in michigan for going in to walmart and buying a couple hundred prepaids.... they where texas and (im from oklahoma) and they are constantly out of stock and are on back order alot.....i thought about saving some money on a few pay checks goin out of town and buy a few boxes ....buy @ $25 sell @ $35-40 ...its basic economics! They where arrested and never charged and still are being held with no charges.
pre paid phones are a service just like any other that can be used for good or bad but its up to the users just like any thing else
