Should you get a prepaid cell phone or a postpaid one?

Yes

It depends on how much you will be using the phone. If you go into your local wireless carrier they should be able to help you determine your needs with a few simple questions. The more talking you will do, the more you should lean towards a post paid phone. But, if you have bad or no credit and no money up front for the deposit, a prepay may be the best to go. There are some prepay plans that are unlimited if you need to do a lot of talking.
