Q: What is prepaid?A:
A Prepaid customer pays for the usage of the network before they start to use it, i.e. once you have bought a BTC Top Up you will only need to buy and replenish Top Up cards / vouchers to remain on the network. You pay for calls as they are made, as the cost of the call is deducted from the available credit in the card.
