Prepaid sims here in the US are a completely different market as compared to elsewhere. For most, you get a prepaid when you are unable to get to qualify for a phone on contract, so it has that stigma to overcome.

Ok then that makes more sense if each network has a single tarif.
Here, everything changed when Free got into the mobile market in feb 2012 with its ?2/mo plan and budget ?16 internet call plan. All the other telcos had no option but to drop,their prices to compete. Only 12 mo ago, you had to pay at least ?30/mo to have an internet plan, now if you pay >25?/mo and dont have unlimited everything with no contract, you're a sucker. Just goes to show how much profit margin the telcos have/had. Just takes one giant to take the plunge to force others to follow suite
