Pre-paid Phones

The prepaid phone market has one simple purpose: To provide wireless service to people who are unable to secure a regular contract account or people who don't want one. Prepaid plans enable people to pay for their device in cash and then choose any kind of plan they want. And because users pay up-front for the device, they tend to buy a lower priced device. People who simply want to talk and don't ask much more from their smartphone, are apt to choose this route. In Europe this is extended to prepaid sim cards as well. In other words, you buy a device and then choose a carrier by buying a prepaid sim card. In this particular case you don't have any monthly bills at all. On the other hand, not having a smartphone might mean that you will not be able to have access to internet phone services which might even be cheaper in the long run.
