Cellular phones are becoming as commonplace as wired telephones in the home with companies like Verizon, Cingular, U.S. Cellular, and other companies vying for consumer dollars. These services and others like them fulfill a growing need but for some people, they are too expensive for what little amount of time their services are needed. For these types of consumers, a company that lets one purchase cell phone time as they need it is more practical. One example of a service like this is TracFone.com, a web service for buying prepaid wireless phone service. |
