Growing up, my first phone was a prepaid phone. I bought it
for myself in sixth grade with my parent’s permission and paid for the minutes
all by myself. This taught me responsibility and also made my mom realize that
she needed to be able to communicate with me when I was not home or with her.
This being said, I am all for prepaid phones.
As far as criminal activity is concerned, this is a good way to stay off the radar. I think that using prepaid phones for crimes can issue, but you really do not hear all that much about it. If the government restricted the selling of these phones or even banned them many citizens would be upset. There are countless amounts of people who use a prepaid phone because of bad credit, contracts, and they simply find it easier. Parents may feel the same way I do that it teaches responsibility, banning it would restrict the teaching of technology responsibility to a child in a technological age. I do not think that they should be banned. They are a very great invention and use for many people around the country.
