Prepaid cellphones are very controversial. There has been
talk about them because terrorists have been able to use them without being
traced. I think they should still be allowed in the country because not
everyone is a terrorist and sometimes prepaid cellphones are the best option
for some people. If someone does not have a stable income and they salary is
different every month, this is a good way to have a cellphone so they don’t miss
a bill and suffer from late fees. It can destroy your credit and make a carrier
not want to work with you. It is also a good idea for parents who want to give
their child a cellphone that only they know the number too, without having to
pay a data fee that most carriers require now. I think it would be a good idea
to have a law stating that you need to present a form of identification while
buying a phone so that they know who has phones out there and what they are
possibly being used for.
I agree with you about showing identification when buying a prepaid phone, it allows people to maintain their privacy while still being able to find out who is purchasing them.
