Prepaid subscribers make up the majority of mobile subscribers. On some networks, especially in unbanked areas of the world, prepaid represents 99% of the entire customer base. Currently, to top-up a prepaid account, a mobile subscriber needs to be in their home network – making it virtually impossible to recharge their mobile accounts during extended times away from home, including work travel or vacation.
