Now, with rates, phones and features comparable to traditional wireless plans, we believe this will transform the way consumers think of prepaid wireless. According to the Yankee Group, prepaid wireless will account for approximately 50 percent of new customers over the next five years. For the first time, prepaid wireless users have a choice in calling plans. Both plans include domestic long distance charges and allow customers to call internationally to nearly 200 countries.
International rates vary based on destination.
Lessons From Abroad Prepaid wireless service has long been the standard in Europe with 50 percent penetration among wireless users in many countries. Americans, however, have gravitated toward wireless services where they pay a monthly bill and commit to long-term contracts. This new prepaid service is now available to a greater audience, as it offers many of the benefits of traditional wireless without long-term contracts, credit checks and monthly bills. We're delivering these same benefits to U.S. consumers, mirroring the success of prepaid overseas to further stimulate its use and acceptance here at home. Applicable International Long Distance charges apply.
