I guess so. I'd like to think the people who invented the concept had some legitimate reasons that it might be a viable product. I suppose if you had only a land-line, and no cell phone, and were planning a trip which might require a wireless means of communication, maybe you'd get one of these instead of signing up for a cellphone plan? Everyone I know either has a land-line and a cell line, or they simply use their cell as their main line.
Maybe its for the parents who want little Sally to have a phone at the concert this Friday, but don't think she needs a permanent cell phone plan? Stuff like that?

another forgotten demographic are those who simply don't have the reliable income to get a monthly contract with some carrier. its especially economical when one only needs a phone for emergency reasons.

All those illegal aliens must be the reason. They love to buy prepaid phone credit cards. Probably would be good for them since they have no valid ID

We're all illegal aliens, unless your jewish Italian grandfather evolved from a mollusc sat on the rocks round the base of the Statue of Liberty.

It was China, yes, I still have your book, 3 years after thinking I'd send it. It might be easier to hand it to you on the trans siberian on the astral plane.

Everyone knows, as a security measure, Ronald McDonald erects a psychic barrier alredador todo sus locales por si acaso alguien quiera entrar por medidas de proyección astral.
