Free Cell Phones
Author: Christine Hancock

With so many offers of Free Cell phones these days it is hard
to make a choice. All the major phone providers have used this
as a very successful marketing tool. They feel that once they
can get you as a customer that you will stay forever. Here are
some of the requirements that go with these free cell phone
offers.

1. Contract Period – Most companies require you to sign a
minimum contract of 2 years and if you want to end your
contract early you will have pay a $200-$300 cancellation
penalty. One thing to keep in mind is that, any changes you
make require's the contract period to start over. If you decide
after 6 Months to make a change to your rate plan decide you
want a different phone, your contract will start over & you
will have locked yourself in for another 2 years.

2. Phone Features – Cell phones these days are starting to
rival lap tops. The capabilities are changing and becoming more
advanced everyday. From taking digital pictures, Bluetooth
connectivity, streaming video, browsing the web, sending and
receive email, to Integrated Radio. The cell phones of today
are much more sophisticated than they were even 1 year ago.
When a new phone model becomes available the older models
becomes obsolete. These are generally the models that you will
see "Free" with new line activation. There is nothing wrong
with these models, they are just "yesterday's" technology.
(Keeping mind that yesterday's technology is usually just a few
months old).

3. You might want to start your search on the internet as the
phone companies tend to put their best deals online. Sometimes
you do have to pay for the phone but you will be eligible for a
rebate equal to the cost. They usually will also throw in free
shipping and no activation fees. You can get more information
