Everyone uses cell phones, but it seems like every strip center in the hood has a cell phone store and they are always packed. I even went in a couple HEBs or Kroger’s recently in the hood that had cell phone booths inside??? Why is this, OT?

It’s not like on race uses cell phones more than the other.

Big profit margin on prepaid phones

People with bad credit cant get contracts with the major providers

Same reason there are more liquor stores, pawn shops, check cashing joints, etc.

Because once you've failed to pay your bill for the big 3 cell companies, you got to start screwing the little companies.

Cosmo knows what's up.

Same reason you see check advances and lending stores right next to them.

People willing to be slaves to the financial institutions in exchange for the latest thing.

It's because you can pay your bill when you feel like it (or add minutes). By doing that, you don't need a contract.

Not many people need burner phones. I have two, but I wouldn't be regularly buying or using them

My wife has one that she never uses either. I keep telling her to throw it out but she wants to hang onto it. Women can't get rid of stuff i guess.
