prepaid SIM

Pay-first cellular card

A prepaid SIM is a mobile phone SIM card purchased with credit already loaded, requiring no contract or monthly bill.

Users buy additional credit as needed rather than committing to ongoing payments: I picked up a prepaid SIM at the airport for my trip.

Popular with travelers, budget-conscious users, and those avoiding credit checks.
