Monthly Plans
With monthly plans, you pay a one-time activation fee (generally $50) for the ability to activate and deactivate service on a monthly basis. This gives you the flexibility to adjust your service according to your needs. For example, if you are traveling and won't be using your phone for a month, you can simply deactivate your number. However, if you want to keep your number while it is inactive, you can pay a small fee (generally $5/month). This ensures that you can easily reactivate your service and continue using the same number when you need it again. Monthly plans are ideal for those who prefer flexibility and want the option to pause their service without losing their number.
Annual Plans
On the other hand, with annual plans, you commit to purchasing service for 12 continuous months. One of the advantages of annual plans is that activation is free, saving you the initial activation fee. By committing to a full year of service, you can often take advantage of discounted rates or special promotions that are not available with monthly plans. Annual plans are perfect for individuals or businesses who know they will be using the service consistently for a longer duration and want to enjoy the benefits of cost savings and uninterrupted service for a whole year.
