It has merit

I know people who could benefit from such offerings here in the states. Some of my friends are lower income and use prepaid services because contract service is too expensive for their budget, and something such as this would be perfect for them considering that they don't even talk much anyhow.

Why do you associate prepaid with low income customers? I'm in relatively high income range, but use pay as you go cell phone service from T-mobile. PAYG model fits my needs the best.

How do you get that he means to infer that only poor people use prepaid?

Of course, a lot of people do think that way, even if it's not true.

That and it's a very easy, logical assumption to make. To just have a mobile, but not a lot of minutes, you can have a T-Mobile prepaid, and pay about $8.33/mo. ($25 refill card every 90 days).

Just the other day, I bought a T-Mobile prepaid because I wanted to evaluate T-Mobile's coverage before either using T-Mobile for myself or telling my parents to use T-Mobile (for the MyFaves plans). This wasn't because I couldn't afford a contract plan.

I could also tell that the salesman was almost looking at me negatively. Although it could've been because he wasn't going to get a commission.

You're a good example of how sometimes, people won't buy something even if they can.

Likewise, I don't think I would ever buy a Rolls-Royce or a Nokia Vertu, even if I could easily afford one (I can't).

Not true. After you paid $100 to t-mobile, any deposit lasts for 1 year. I just made $10 deposit to them, I expect it will cover my cell phone needs for 3-4 month. So it's about $2-3 per month only.
