What is the difference between Post-paid & Pre-paid SIM Cards?
In Prepaid, payment method is where you pay before you enjoy the services offered. Here there are no surprise bills and you know exactly how much you are going to spend for the coming trip for a particular service. In Postpaid the credit card is usually taken as a guarantee for payment and you receive your bill after you use the services, so you will have no idea what you may have spent till the end of the month.
