Cell Phone Reviews
Make the right choice before you purchase your next cellphone. You can save time and money just by browsing through these pages, and even read some reviews written by real users.
Not all cellphones will work in your country or maybe in the area where you are living. That's why it is important to check into a service plan first. Some cell phones have different types of receivers, so you don't want to buy a phone that only works in Canada, for instance. Save your money and do a little research first.
Buying you first cell phone?
Before you sign up with a plan, which most of them will have you sign a
two year agreement, you should think a few steps ahead of time. You want
to find a flexible plan that fits your lifestyle and future needs. For instance,
your kids may be too young now for a cell phone, but it won't be long till
they ask for one. Make sure the service you get has a Family Plan. For an
extra twenty dollars a month you can get another cell phone added.
Find out which service your boss, your family, your coworkers, and your friends use or whomever you will be talking to the most. Make a list of what service they use. Find out the basic cell phone service rates. Many service providers in the U.S. offer free airtime on the same network. This means that if your friend uses the same service as you, it won't cost anything to talk to them.
New Cellphones
New
SCP-3100 from Sanyo. It was time to upgrade our old outdated cellphones.
Since we're on a Sprint family plan, we visited the Sprint website, and
found out we had a $150 in credit towards a new phone. We looked at some
of the models they had listed, but couldn't decide which one to get. My
wife and I decided to go for a ride and see what is new on the market.
We went to a local Nextel-Sprint store, but it was real crowded so we decided to visit a nearby RadioShack. Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely lady behind a counter who showed us all of the sprint phones we could get with our Sprint credit. After inspecting each phone and asking questions, we decided upon the Sanyo SCP-3100. She said this phone has only been on the market for a month. We were told Sanyo is exclusive to Sprint so if you're on any other plan you have to go with another brand.
What we liked about the SCP-3100 is that it had several different colors to choose from: blue, pink, espresso and silver. This way we could have the same thone without grabbing each others by mistake. Here is some of the features that this phone has to offer:
