Long story short i ran into fiancial trouble so my service with att got cancled

Is it possible to use a 4s as a prepaid phone. And does anyone know if the 5 will he available for prepaid use?

Thanks in advance
 
You can use it on H20, redpocket, straighttalk. Might be others that run off AT&T's network in the US.
About the next iphone it will most likely be sold contract free and factory unlocked so you can use it on any GSM carrier even on prepaid ones.
Prices usually start at $650 plus tax for the base model 16GB.
 
Awesome thanks so much

Do you know if any of these servies are better then the other? Is cricket a good option

Will i be able to keep all my contacts when i switch to a prepaid service?

Right now im just using wifi and talking friends with an iphone or using an app to talk to other friends

The cheapest one and best I heard is straighttalk for $45 a month. Unlimited talk, text and 2GB data.
Cricket wont work with your AT&T iphone. Cricket is a CDMA carrier.
Yes, you can still keep all the contacts you have in the phone now and everything that's on it. All you will do is put in a sim and you will get service that's all.
