question to join

[mdanah2576]

I see some interesting plans here and would like to join.  But I was told it is Prepaid.  What does that mean?   And any activation fees?

thanks

No activation fess

Prepaid is you pay the monthly fees on day 1 of the service rather than they bill you after.  Good thing is there will be no surprise billing with such model. 

However, if any payment interruption when it comes to renewal, renewal for new cycle will fail and you won't have service until you successfully pay

Public Mobile is a fully prepaid cell phone service with $0 activation fees. What Prepaid Means at Public Mobile Prepaid means you pay for your service upfront at the beginning of your 30-day cycle before you can actually use it. You do not need to pass a credit check to open an account because you are not borrowing service on credit. You can cancel or change your plan at any time without facing termination penalties. If you use up all your plan's high-speed data, your data simply pauses until your next billing cycle. You will never get an unexpected bill for extra usage. Even though it is prepaid, Public Mobile acts like a monthly subscription. It will automatically charge your registered credit card or debit card every month so your service never gets interrupted. Public Mobile is 100% self serve. You are in control of your account at all times. Customer service is done through Public Mobile's private message system.
