Cell Phones and Privacy

The use of prepaid cell phones can protect privacy. They can be used without record of incoming and outgoing calls, avoid billing records, and a quick and easy way to have a mobile phone. I do not believe prepaid cell phones should be banned or otherwise controlled by law. Although criminals can use these factors of prepaid cell phones to their advantage, they also benefit everyday people. When traveling out of the country, it is hard to find a phone company that allows unlimited use without a huge per minute up-charge. Prepaid phones avoid this dilemma, considering the fact that they are prepaid. Also, cell phone plans can be expensive. Some individuals and even families simply can't afford to pay a monthly bill to keep a cell phone. They are worry free- no going over minutes and no exceeding data. They are also easy to get because they don't require credit history to buy them.
