What's a prepaid phone? Can IPhones be prepaid?

I'm going to buy an IPhone 4 from my friend and i'm wondering if it can be prepaid? If so do I need anything like a sim chip? & It's not on contract… Or could I just go on a plan without being on a contract?

Any phone can be prepaid. Just means you put money on every month and pick the features you want if any and you're good to go. Depending what you use your phone for prepaid can be cheaper and better for you. You just need a sim and register it online for free.

Depends on the configuration of the SIM in it.
As far as it needing a SIM it depends on if it is a GSM or CDMA model.
Pre-paid plans are ones that you pay for the credit you want to use & then use it

DON't BUY AN IPHONE! GET A NORMAL PHONE!
