An important consideration when choosing a new cell phone or pre-owned cell phone is the brand and features. Common cell phone manufacturers and dealers are Apple, Audiovox, Firefly, Hitachi, LG, Kyocera, Sony Ericsson which is commonly mispelled Ericson, Nokia, Motorola, Palm, RIM, Samsung, Sanyo and panasonic. There are flip phones, bar phones, PDA phones, smartphones, camera phones, MP3 phones and standard handset style phones available. No matter what free cell phone offer you choose, make sure your phone has the calling features and accessories that you use most.

Many free cel phone offers come with free shipping, free night and weekend minutes, free long distance, nationwide long distance, regional roaming.

Remember, there is no such thing as the tooth fairy, a free lunch, Santa Claus or a “free” cell phone. You’ll either pay for the cell phone when you sign up for service, or later through your monthly service fees. But getting your cellular service started with little or no money is a huge benefit and cost savings. When you shop, determine your cellular phone needs, gather information about the type of cell phone and calling plan that is right for you and then find the best deal. Usually the best deals are always found online and not in any retail store or mall kiosk. Those dealers have huge overhead to pay for and need to pass those costs on to the buyer. Shopping online means having to wait a couple of days for a phone to arrive in the mail but the savings can be substantial.

Not all cell phone providers use the same cellular technology and there are pros and cons for each network. Analog networks will work with older, but in some cases more reliable, basic phones while the newer digital networks allow you to use all the latest bells and whistles even if you never use them. The coverage area of the different networks will also vary with the more advanced digital networks usually found in more populated areas. This also means that you won’t be able to roam in a network that has different technology than your handset. However, no matter what cell phone network you choose to use, there is always going to be a low cost or free cell phone offer that will work for you. Many of these free cell phone offers even include no credit card or no credit check applications and come with free accessory kits that include everything you need to use you cell phone. Many times these accessory kits will include just a basic wall charger but other times may include car chargers, headsets and leather cases. These accessory kits can be huge money saver for you considering that you would probably just end up buying them anyway.

GSM: Short for Global System for Mobile Communications, GSM is the most widespread standard for cell phones networks in the world. If you’re a jetsetter who likes keeping in touch during your far-flung travels, you should go with a GSM-enabled phone, and here in the U.S., AT&T and T-Mobile are both GSM carriers. CDMA: Short for Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA originally came from the military and all calls are actually scrambled with 64-bit encryption. Verizon, Sprint and AllTell use CDMA here in the US and these networks include the high speed digital access that many premium customers desire. As these networks use different technologies, phones from one network will not work on a different network and this could be a problem for people who travel frequently.

Pre-paid plans or pay as you go service has some advantages over regular monthly billing plans. Primarily, they are easy to monitor and have no monthly service fees so you don’t pay for what you don’t use. However, the rates are generally much higher than they are phone regular plans so you’ll pay more over the long term. And if you are looking for the latest technology in cell phones, you won’t find it in prepaid plans as the carriers usually offer only older cell phones that don’t have the latest bells and whistles or even standard things like text messages or customizable ring tones. This is because the carriers make their money from the monthly service fees and aren’t looking to give you a great deal with a pre-paid cell phone plan that doesn’t make them very much money. If you are trying to decide between regular monthly service and pre-paid cell phone service, experts say that pre-paid cell phone service will generally cost you more in the long run.

Cell phones and cell phone services are changing all the time. Chances are that the service contract you signed when you first started has many more minutes and features available today. And if you’re still lugging a phone around from 2001, then it may be time to give your service provider a call. Now is the time to negotiate for that hot new cell phone you saw on TV but first check what offers are in the market from competing carriers and make sure that you get as good or better a deal. If they aren’t willing to play ball, you can always switch your service to another cell phone provider and even take your existing number with you.
