FAQ

The difference between prepaid and postpaid lies in the payment method. With prepaid, you have to load a credit balance in advance. You are billed from this. For postpaid, you pay the invoice in arrears. In the case of postpaid contracts, you also get an invoice at the end of the month and the amount is debited from your account. Postpaid contracts need a good credit rating. A credit check is therefore carried out immediately before concluding a contract.
