Re: It has merit

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.
