Do I need a contract with a prepaid cell phone?

Most prepaid plans don't require a contract. You pay as you go, and some carriers give you the option to pay monthly, quarterly, or annually. You can purchase prepaid plans online or buy access cards.

Can I use my phone when traveling overseas?

You may be able to use your phone in other countries. Some carriers offer international plans that you can add before your trip and cancel after you return. If your phone operates on the same frequency available in the countries you'll be visiting and you have an unlocked phone, purchase a SIM card and prepaid service plan when you arrive. Before leaving home, you should check with your carrier to make sure your model phone will work overseas and find out what restrictions apply. When you use your phone at your destination, you may need to reboot it a few times to pick up a network. And make sure you have roaming turned off to avoid extra charges.

Does a prepaid phone come with an assigned phone number?

A new prepaid phone will have an assigned number. You also have the option to transfer your current number to the new plan.
