Tips For Buying A Cell Phone
There are so many sleek and impressive looking cell phones on the market these days that it’s hard to resist the temptation to buy one. There is perhaps very little in the world of modern technology that now rivals the prevalence of the cell phone. Just imagine—it can help you communicate with practically anyone at practically any time. Plus, you look good doing it, too.
Today’s cell phones are so much more than means to communicate. You can use your cell phone as a personal planner, check on breaking news on the internet, send email, take photos, take videos, play games, send text messages and even dial numbers by through mere sound of your voice. Of course, having a phone with all this is not cheap, so it’s important to determine just exactly what we need our cell phones to do.
The first choice is almost always dependent on our preference for a wireless service provider. The key items here are the kind of coverage it offers and the type of monthly service plan it has in your location. Once done, you will then have to select from the wide array of phones that your service provider has to offer.
Next, you have to think of the phone’s features. If you’re a world traveler, then you need a phone with global wireless standard. You will probably need a dual-mode phone that can communicate in both digital and analog. These are much more dependable for globetrotters than single-mode models, especially if you will be going to isolated places or rural areas where digital service may be nonexistent.
The next decision you will make is probably the most fun one: design. Do you want one of those phones that are designed like a clamshell and just flip open? Or are you more inclined towards those that look like candybars and don’t flip open? For convenience, flip phones are tougher to use, especially if the base is lighter than the cover. Would you like a phone with a dual screen, the one with a small LCD on the cover as well as an internal display? The main considerations are that the phone should be easy to use, comfortable to your ear and made of a design that reflects your personal tastes.
Finally, you will want to decide on special features. What do you want your cell phone to do? Oftentimes, this consideration is tied in to how much we are prepared to spend, so it’s not that difficult a decision after all.

Tips for buying a cell phone?
so I am planning to buy a new phone for myself. which is better? a basic phone without mp3, camera..etc. or a phone which has an mp3, camera…etc. [what's your opinion?why?]
I honestly don’t care for most extras but they are a +
as long as it has long battery life so in case of an emergency

First off, companies don’t make phones without cameras, and most phones have mp3 capabilities. If you want a free phone try to get something that has those capabilities because they could always come in use later on if you are interested in buying a micro sd card. Most(almost all) free phones have cameras. If there is one without a camera, stay away from them because those phones are usually cheaply made and break easily. You can research them online and read customer reviews to see if people actually like the cell phone that you are thinking of buying.
If you are thinking of getting a micro sd card(memory card used to put in phones that add extra memory for pictures, videos, and music), here are the average prices of these cards
2 gigabyte(around 300 songs)- around $10
4 gigabyte(around 700 songs)- around $20
8 gigabyte(around 1500 songs)- around $40
16 gigabyte(around 3000 songs)- around $70
these prices could be more or less depending the store and the brand
If you have any questions that I didn’t answer just ask me!

The first thing you need to decide is whether you want to go with a contract or go prepaid. Thousands of Americans are going prepaid to save on costly cell phone bills as prepaid saves a lot of money! I went with Net10 as I wanted national coverage and I also wanted the ease of paying 10c per minute for all calls and 3c per text. I got a really neat qwerty slider phone from Net10 and have everything I need…I can even call 100 overseas countries for just 15c per minute!
