Prepaid cell phone services can protect privacy. One can buy a phone for cash and pay cash in advance for service. There are no billing records, and records of calls made on the phone are not linked to the owner. Cell phone carriers and governments in a few countries considered ending prepaid phone services because criminals use it; law enforcement agencies could not trace them. Should the decision about whether to provide prepaid cell phone service be left to the service providers or should government ban it? If left to the companies what policy do you think they should adopt?
