I bet we usually see this “Prepaid” thing every time we purchased electronic load from our suking tindahan, and “Postpaid” in telecom business centers in the malls. But in reality, are we aware of their true meaning? Or we just snob them?!

As Filipinos purchasing load for our mobile phones is part of our daily to monthly expenses. In fact, a lot of our country men were trying their best surfing the net to find the right hack to have free texts. Fortunately I found one website that offers free sms in the Philippines check them out here.

Back to the question above, are we aware what the real meaning of prepaid and postpaid loads is? Do availing prepaid loads have an advantage over postpaid? Or vice versa? Well, these are the questions we are to answer. But first, let’s take a closer look on what are these prepaid and postpaid loads.


Prepaid and postpaid are two forms of payment that may be involved in telecommunication services.

Below are their key differences.

Service payments
This is the most important factor. Prepaid customers make their payments in advance before using the service while postpaid users are offered services throughout of the month, and at the end of the month, customer receives the bill to pay within the given time frame.

Charging and Billing
For prepaid customer, it is required to charge the customer in real time for all the usage. For postpaid subscribers, they can be charged at the end of the month.

Service Offerings
Postpaid billing systems provide more flexibility in comparison of the prepaid.

Best suited for…
Prepaid cards are best suited for temporary or seasonal usage, while postpaid subscriptions are best for regular usage throughout the year or for a given time frame.
