Some legitimate uses for prepaid cell phones is that not only can you use them if you cannot afford a cell phone but also can be used when traveling.  Prepaid cell phones are often used for children that are not old enough to have a real cell phone.  They are used as more of a learning tool for a real phone and also provide restrictions on how much one can text or call their friends so it teaches them responsibility.  When traveling, especially into another country, prepaid cell phones can be extremely helpful when in need of communication.  They don't cost as much nor do they carry restrictions on them like normal cell phones do when used in other countries. I believe that prepaid phones are fine how they are and don't need to be controlled by the law.

  1. I agree with you here. Prepaid cellphones are easy to acquire and are very helpful when traveling. Some cellphone plans charge more if you are in a different part of the world so prepaid cellphones are an easy to dodge those huge roaming fees. But don't you think they should be able to be tracked? Criminals have been known to use these as a way of ducking the police. I feel that you should at least have to sign up for prepaid phones, even if its as simple as just giving your name.
