What is this WIKI all about



Prepaid, also known as Pay as you go allows a customer to get mobile access without signing up for a long term plan. This makes it perfect for someone who is only visiting a country for a limited time. You don’t need to have a bank account or link it to a credit card. The credit for calls, texts or data just needs to be charged before using it. -

This WIKI is for all GSM-based devices like mobile phones (= cell phones), especially smartphones and all other devices with modems like tablets, USB-dongles (= USB-sticks) for laptops, Mifis or other routers and special purpose devices which all need mobile internet access and data.

- We concentrate mainly on data here. Rates for voice or text are only shown if they are included in a bundle together with data. Here is why: So it all comes down to data whatever you do on your device. With growing data demands, it becomes more and more indispensable to have a good data coverage and rate on your location.
 * Voice: Many calls can be made through VoIP (see VoIP) if you have a good 3G data connection. For calls abroad, this is often the cheapest way from your mobile and used domestically, prepaid rates don’t differ so much for voice.
 * Text (SMS): This feature gets more and more useless in the times of social messengers (like Whatsapp, Twitter or Facebook) for which you need data
 * MMS: Who is using this anymore? See Text.
