Although
it's not the most important, by
far the most exciting part of a good cell phone deals has to be
choosing the right cell phone. In fact, most people will base
their new cellular phone purchase solely on the style or cool
design of the phone. These days a cell phone deal will include a
free phone with most of the features (camera, color screen,
ringtones, etc) just for signing up. Don't jump at the first
"hot" phone you come across. Instead take advantage if
free trial offers. Most companies will give you 14 days to return
it for any reason.
Some things to consider, beyond the
looks of course, are size, durability, style (flip or candy bar)
color screen, user friendly, and add-on features.
The size of cellular phones
has consistently decreased overall for the past several years.
This is great to slip into your pocket or purse, but you need to
consider the durability and the battery life of the smaller cell
phones. If you do plan on keeping it stored in your pocket or
purse, you may want to look around for a more durable phone rather
than the most stylish. You don't want to end up with a stylish cellular
phone that's really scratched or beat up, right?
As far as the battery life goes, the
technology is constantly being improved. But it is still a factor
with smaller phones, especially if you plan on talking for more
than 2-3 hours before recharging. You may want to look at the
battery life of the cell phone before you buy it. It may not turn out to be such a good cell phone deal after all
Their are tons of freebie and rebate
offers available for new cell phone customers. Don't hesitate to
buy a cell phone just because you get a mail-in-rebate instead of
an instant rebate. Think 2-4 months down the road when your rebate
check comes in. That's more money in your pocket!
A quick look at an online store like www.CellularBooth.com
will show you that the price of most cellular phones are
dramatically reduced compared to buying from your local store. The
reason is simple. They sell nearly 200
cellular phones everyday online and they don't have the overhead
of sales people, storefront, etc. So the high volume of sales
converts to a nice discount for you of up to $200 or more.
