Why isn't the A54 on the list of Samsung prepaid phones?

Jerry . Jan 12, 2023

what does prepaid mean

Vandy1 year

Prepaid means to pay before a service is applied to your device. Very different from postpaid where you pay for your service on a set date.

Samsung2 years

Hey there Jerry, thank you for finding the available time out of your day to ask your question about the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G UW. With prepaid phones, payment for service is made before use. As calls and texts are made, and as data is used, deductions are made against the prepaid balance amount until no funds remain. These devices are also known as pay-as-you-go, pay and go, go-phone, prepay, or burner phones. Please feel free to reach out to Samsung Support with any additional questions you think of. Thank you for being a valued Samsung customer. - Debra

Verizon Customer Support2 years

Prepaid items or phone service are paid for in advance, before the time when you would normally pay for them. *Celeste

Please reach out to Samsung Support if you have any other questions. Thank you for being a valued Samsung customer. - Debra
