Re: RE: Prepaid Wireless growing during the Recession With the current economic downturn I think that there is a shift in the type of peer pressure people are facing today. It is no longer 'cool' to have the newest iPhone on the market instead an outward show of frugality is the 'in' thing; at least this is the perspective among my peers. To be seen as wasting good money on toys that are not a necessity is considered a waste when saving up for an emergency is considered far more wise and respected. Most of us have canceled our contracts and bought cheap prepaid phones namely Tracfone or Net10 for their excellent prices and per minute rates. |
