What does it mean when you call a prepaid phone

what does it mean when you call a prepaid phone (pay as you go) and when you call the phone it says this number is not reachable what that means. people saying it dont have no minutes is that true. because I have one and it do the same thing when I dont...

have no money on my phone. but I just want to make sure the number aint changed or nun

"the number you are trying to call is not reachable"
means there is no minutes.
my boyfriend has minutes.
and that's what it say's when he runs out.
it never does that when he has them.

If it says it's not 'reachable' then theres no reception.
Maybe somethings wrong with your phone.

It means your out of min..

Unless you have it on a plan, than it could mean that they have had it cut off, due to not paying the bill.

ditto to all(except the middle) comments above me.
Basically, if you dont have the dollar a day to connect, it will say "this number is not reachable at the time". Mine was doing it to people the other day, so my mom bought me some minutes. Lol.
She was like "I hate calling you and hearing that!" and I was like "Well, you buy my minutes then, because I could care less if I get a phone call or not." so she bought me $50 worth of minutes. O.O

danggg lol
