For many people, a regular cell phone plan isn't always the best option. Luckily, there is another choice. A no contract cell phone plan is a great option for people who want an alternative to a regular cell phone plan. A no contract cell phone plan means you pay for your minutes in advance. Usually, this is done by purchasing airtime cards that you load on to the phone. You can purchase as many minutes as you feel you need. This gives you a great deal of control over your cell phone costs. The phones associated with no contract plans are usually affordable as well. As the name suggests, no contract cell phone plans require no commitment. You can sign up for a plan and cancel it whenever you wish. There are no two year contracts or anything like that. You also don't need to worry about credit checks. People with poor credit can get a no contract cell phone plan without having to worry about deposits or inquiries. This makes a no contract cell phone plan a great idea for those looking to build credit, people looking for minimum cell phone plans, and teenagers.

Cell phone contracts generally are two years and you get the phone free. If you pay for the phone, however, the contract is usually one year. Verizon Wireless offers several different plans for singles and families.
