Cellular service plans offer many perks to try to attract new customers and keep old ones. One of the best of these benefits is a new phone. Policies differ depending on what service provider you re dealing with, but typically, you can land yourself a new phone for free, or a cutting-edge new phone at a steep discount. Of course, this leaves the question: how can you tell if you re getting the right phone in this bargain.
That s the trick. Many cell phone service providers dump their oldest models in this free swap, while the best picture phones, color models, and video flip phones will cost your big bucks. Plus, anytime you get a new phone, you have to worry if you re getting the latest digital technology to best match up with your provider s cellular system.
