The honest tradeoff
Prepaid isn't free money. Here's what you're trading for that $0 deposit:
Prepaid costs more per month
Prepaid rates are typically 30-50% higher than traditional plans. On average, that's about $50-70 more per month for a typical Corpus Christi household.
The math: If you can get a traditional plan with $0-100 deposit, it's often cheaper in the long run. But if you're looking at a $300+ deposit you can't afford, prepaid makes sense — at least until you can build 12 months of payment history and switch.
