What is prepaid and postpaid data?

Prepaid data plans offer flexibility and control over your usage. With no monthly bills or contracts, you can top up your data whenever you need it. Postpaid data plans offer the convenience of shared data among multiple SIM cards, allowing you to connect all your devices seamlessly. With postpaid, you don't have to worry about running out of data or constantly topping up. However, it's important to consider the potential drawbacks, such as higher monthly fees and the need to commit to a contract.
