Cell Phone Buy

The Fine Art Of Finding The Best Cell Phone Buy


Executive Summary About Best Cell Phone by Donovan Baldwin

In the last few years, cell phones have become so versatile that the once simple act of buying a cell phone can seem almost impossible. Even more, the thought of finding the best cell phone buy among all the possibilities seems even more impossible...it that's possible!
It is true that with so many cell phones and so many cell phone services, finding the best cell phone and cell phone service to buy is daunting. Possibly more important than the cell phone itself is the selection of the service provider. In fact, many different providers offer the same cell phones with the purchase of their cellular phone service package. Here is a partial list of features you might want to consider when buying your next cell phone. How about instant messaging and email features? You might want a speaker phone or a phone with the ability to make conference calls. If you do want a speaker phone, you will have to decide if you need a full-duplex speaker phone. Many businesses find cellular phones with Push-To-Talk capability to be of value because this walkie-talkie feature allows employees and management to instantly reach others in their group without having to place a telephone call. Newer cell phones provide such Buck Rogers type abilities as power point presentations.
In addition to the performance features of your cell phone, you may want ask yourself what kind of cell phone person YOU are. Many people just need a basic cell phone and basic cell phone service. The fashion conscious may be more concerned with what the phone looks like than with performance features. Many cell phones DO have interchangeable face plates so that one can accessorize if necessary. There are places, particularly in large metropolitan areas, where you can pick through a myriad of cell phones and cell phone services, and generally competent staff can help you pick the best combination of features and costs.
Most of the time, however while the cell phones offered and the services may be quite good, you will be limited to what that particular storefront or kiosk is prepared to offer. Often, comparing rates, service areas, features and so on means driving to several different locations and getting sales spiels from several different businesses.
How to Buy a Cell Phone Online-Get the Best Deal on a PhoneExecutive Summary About Best Cell Phone by Ron Stephens

I have purchased my last four cell phones online. Shopping online in this day and age offers great convenience, lower pricing, and most online retailers (the successful ones at least) have great customer service. Consumer Reports surveyed several thousand cell phone users, asking them about their cell-phone buying experiences*.
In their survey they found that people who bought their phones online tended to be more satisfied with the purchase process than folks who bought at a store. Here are some helpful tips to help you learn how to buy a cell phone online.
If your current contract is about to end...
Hey, this is an ideal time to upgrade your phone and, if need be, change carriers. If you haven't been happy with their service for some reason, keep shopping, even if they do offer you some sort of concession or bonus.
If you just want a new phone and your in a contract...
If you have broken or lost your current phone, and you are still under contract, you will most likely find the best price for a new phone at a third party website. Features like digital cameras and Bluetooth technology are now very common features on even the least expensive phones. MP3 players are also becoming common features on many phones. Decide what features you want on the phone, find out if your carrier has that phone.
Shopping and buying online is becoming more satisfying, and saving people money...
By the way; in the same survey, over 60 percent of the buyers were completely or very satisfied with the price they paid at the provider's website and 46 percent for the provider's store. If you have broken or lost your current phone, and you are still under contract, you will most likely find the best price for a new phone at a third party website. When you buy a phone or plan that offers a rebate, you can access your "rebate form" and "proof of purchase" online at any time.
