    It is better to get a cell phone plan in a store. Then if you have problems with your phone you can take it back to the store.

    If you buy a cell phone plan online you will have to send your phone in if you have problems with the phone.

    Online cell phone stores that sell cell phones at a reduced price with a contract like Wirefly.com and Amazon.com have you sign 2 contracts, one for the service and one for the phone. If your phone breaks or you lose your phone and can not complete your contract you will be charged for breaking 2 contracts. This can cost up to $350 for the phone and $350 for the contract.

    I prefer to use prepaid cell phones. I am in control of what I pay per month, when I pay it and what phone I want to use. If I want a new phone I can find one from $10 to $300. No questions asked if I want to switch service from one phone to another.

Getting the telephone from Cingular is extra complicated, yet frequently they gets a commission on extensions of your settlement so as that they are going to artwork with you. call or flow right into a keep and tell them what you prefer to do. in case you get a no at a keep, i'd call and say you're questioning approximately swapping till you may get the hot telephone.
