Is there a quality difference between regular cell phones and prepaid cell phones?

Other than having a rate plan through the wireless provider…..Is there a difference in the cell phones themselves? Quality of the phone?

Meaning: What is the difference between a prepaid (pay as you go) Sony Ericsson Z310a and a regular Sony Ericsson Z310a cell phone?

Remember I am asking what the difference is OTHER THAN the cost of phone calls or having a rate plan

Answer by Katia
There is no difference in the quality whatsoever. They are usually the SAME kind of phones that you would use on post paid plans……

They just make certain phones for prepay so that it’s easier to set it all up

I had a prepaid razor and it didn’t have the ability to take a memory card like my new one does with my plan, but the one I got with the plan doesn’t have ne games, like the other one did. I think all companies have different features regardless of how the plans are set up.

Answer by kanoa k
There is no difference, just the rates.

Answer by salus
No the reception with a good network coupled with a good hand set is as, regardless to pre pay or contract phone. If your out of range, well your out of range.

Answer by loanmasterone
There is no difference other than the pay plan you select.

If you select to pay on a monthly plan or pay as you go when you are in need of minutes.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

All that was left behind…

My car window was smashed. They left behind the cell phone and advertisement to "earn cash from home." Unfortunetly, the cell phone was a store-prepaid variety.
The police officer said that a number of cars on our block were hit. It was strange, because they went through the glove box and all the storage spots, and took the that was burried, but left the canister of quarters and CDs in plain view.

Sorry for the hasty blur.
