Modern prepaid plans combine the convenience of a subscription with the freedom of prepaid solutions. Do you want unlimited calls and SMS to everyone and an internet package? 💪 You don't have to run 🏃 to the shops looking for scratch cards; with the Vikings, you can buy a top-up online without leaving home. You can also activate a subscription and enjoy multi-dimensional convenience. Topping up your account won't be hindered by strong winds, rain, or snowstorms. You can observe the weather fluctuations from your favorite armchair, sipping hot tea ☕ while always staying in touch with loved ones.

Prepaid or Subscription? 3 Key Differences

You surely know someone who has faced this dilemma. Or perhaps you've wondered yourself what's best for you? 🤔

1. Convenience

In the case of a subscription, convenience and a fixed service price throughout the commitment period are primarily highlighted as advantages. The mobile operator issues an invoice each month, and you pay it by the due date.

Modern prepaid plans also prioritize convenience, and you don't have to buy top-ups yourself at a kiosk or store. The era of scratch cards is long gone, replaced by online purchases or subscriptions. Automatic top-ups offer convenience comparable to a subscription. However, a prepaid offer is distinguished by complete freedom to choose the amount or the moment of opting out of services. You have to pay for a subscription all the time, even when you're not using the service. 😐

2. Devices with a Subscription

Another aspect is devices included with a subscription. Does this seem like a convenient solution? In practice, it turns out that phone prices with a subscription are usually higher than those purchased on the open market. Operator-branded devices also receive updates with a considerable delay. For technology enthusiasts, this is a significant limitation. 🤐

3. Formalities

One of the significant differences is also the amount of paperwork involved with subscriptions and prepaid plans. With a subscription, you'll need to sign a contract for 12, 24, or 36 months. Some operators offer subscriptions with a one-month notice period. Most matters need to be handled with a personal visit to a sales salon. The convenience offered by Mobile Vikings is noteworthy. We offer you minimal formalities, no contracts, and the ability to handle all matters online without leaving home. 🤩

Subscription or Prepaid: A Comparison

Each of the mentioned solutions has its advantages and disadvantages. In the past, the differences between subscriptions and prepaid plans were more noticeable. Currently, mobile operators offer very modern solutions and meet users' needs. 🤝

What's More Profitable, Prepaid or Subscription?

The best solution is a prepaid plan that offers no commitments. 💪 A novelty in the telecommunications market is a prepaid phone without a contract in a subscription model! 🥳 This is a completely new dimension of communication, combining the advantages of prepaid and subscription offers. The subscription is characterized by convenient payments, and a linked payment card will charge the fee every 31 days. The freedom on the Viking ship is also noteworthy. You can pause top-ups or cancel your number at any time. You sail on the Viking ship only when you feel good with us. 😍 

Intrigued? 😍 Come aboard and experience a multi-dimensional change with our subscription. Minimum formalities, a clear offer, and complete freedom, of course, are with us! 🚣 Unless you prefer a prepaid offer with a smaller GB package, then the Match offer awaits you.
