Why go with a pre-paid sim or with family top up?
Many people prefer to get a cell phone contract rather than just buying a cell phone and a sim card. There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, most cell phone contracts offer a free phone to the client. This means that you will pay a monthly fee and be provided with a cell phone, sim card. And a certain amount of free minutes and sms’s every month.
Generally, you will be able to use your phone as much as you want. After that you will receive a cell phone bill at the end of the month on top of your monthly contract costs.
This option does not appeal to everyone because it is so easy to spend too much airtime and go over your limit. This is very dangerous and means that you will often be responsible for a very high bill. When you cannot afford it.
Other people go for simply purchasing a cell phone and a sim card. Thereafter buy airtime whenever they need it.
This is affordable on a month to month basis. But you must remember that you will have to pay the once off cost of the cell phone itself which can be incredibly high.
Many people end up buying phones with credit cards. Or buying second hand cell phones to avoid this high cost.
Vodacom Airtime Family Top Up
Another option, which may be a happy medium for many people, is a family top up contract.
With this sort of contract individuals still get a cell phone and sim card for a monthly cost.
But instead of racking up a huge cell phone bill and receiving it at the end of the month, they get a certain amount of airtime per month (paid for by their monthly fee). And this airtime will simply run out when it is used up.
Thereafter, if individuals want more airtime, they can simply top up with a pay as you go voucher.
