Yes...pre-pay is the same as pay as you go, because you can't use the service until you've payed for it...unlike a contract which gives you credit on the agreement you pay for it at the start of the next billing month.

Exactly the same, (work at p4u), I think the main reason they're called different things was that when it first came out the different networks trademarked different names I think btcellnet was" pay as you go", voda was "pay as you talk" , and another was "pre-pay" not entirely sure of the exact details but Prepay is Pay as you go YES!

When you prepay for a service like TracFone or others, you are buying a fixed amount of time in advance. As you use that up, you can reload (by phone, website, or prepaid card)
Read the fine print since some prepaid services don't allow you to carry unused time forever.

kinda, prepaid is like a version of the regular contractual plans except that you don't need to sign a contract or do a credit check, but you have to go in every month to refill minutes.
on pay as you go it's simular to prepaid but you only have to refresh you minutes when they run out.

Yes it is. Cingular prepaid is also called pay as you go!
