It's Your Call: Get A Pre-Paid Phone And Avoid A Payday Loan

By Liam Wayne


Many articles are written about the way to avoid taking out a payday loan in cases of emergencies, listing possible alternatives for people that end up in a surprising and inevitable situation. While these articles might be favourable for those people who end up in these trying circumstances, they neglect an enormous majority of borrowers. Studies show that about 69% of first-time borrowers use their loan to pay ongoing costs like bills and hire rather than on unforeseen costs. Nonetheless if you can figure out the simple way to reduce the cost of these continuing bills, you can also cut back your likelihood of becoming just another pay-day loan statistic. This answer may seem both plain and easier said than done. Yet there are one or two simple and often overlooked choices that one can make so as to achieve this goal.

One of the costliest recurring bills that we have in current day society is the cellular telephone bill. We don't pay for the general capability to make telephone calls as we probably did with the landlines of times past. Now we pay per call, text, internet site, app, etc. The price of these services quickly adds up, a concept which rarely crosses one's mind until the fear-inspiring bill turns up in the post, looking more like a phone book than a letter. You may think that you're helpless to avoid these costs - a cell-phone is just too necessary to live without. Sadly this isn't too far away from the actual facts.

Although modern society has nearly made the cell-phone a necessary component of daily existance, this does not mean that we can't reduce its cost. A great option for those seeking to bring down monthly outlays is to get a prepaid cellular phone. Cell phone providers often insist that you subscribe to a monthly package. These packages have a set amount of minutes and SMS messages that you can use in a month.

Many times a user will find that they are well below the use limit at the close of the month, meaning that they are stumping up for minutes and texts that they are not using. Yet these same customers may be hesitant to fall to a lower plan for fear of going over their minutes and incurring high overage charges. With a pre-paid cellular phone these concerns vanish.

You simply put a specified amount of minutes onto your phone and replenish them as required. Similarly, these minutes don't vanish at the end of each month, but stay on your pre-paid telephone until you use them. This means that you pay just for what you use and no more, so reducing your repeating expenses, and with them the likelihood of having to make a journey to the the pay day loan lender.
