Help/Support What are prepaid phones and are they good?

[E_Over 193 10 9.3.0]

So I saw the Nokia 520 selling for 49$, but it said its prepaid, is this some sort of catch?

I'm only using the phone for YouTube or gaming not calling.

Prepaid is when you pay the company, and you have a limit of minutes for a certain amount of time.

 

example, say you pay $10. and they charge $0.10 per phone call and $0.05 per text. Your balance will subtract every time you make a text or phone call. Also, depending on what service you use they will use your minutes as data if you turn your data on, and your money gets used up really quick that way.
