OK this is just a starter fo rmany blogs to come on cellular phones.
For starters I do sell cell phones and other services at work. I just thought after seeing alot of Mumms on "what carrier or handset should I go with ?" this would be helpful to many.
There are Post-paid and Pre-paid.
Post-paid is a contractual agreement for no less than 1yr and no more than 2yrs. Most carriers charge a $175 termination fee if yo uwant ot get out of the contract early. Also upgrades to any equipment is 11 months into a 1yr contract or 22 months into a 2yr contract. In order to receive an upgrade towards the end of your contract you must renew with the carrier for 1 to 2 yrs and the cost of the handset depends on the length of the renewed contract and whether you go to the carriers own store or website or an authorized dealer for the carrier.(i.e. Walmart, a kiosk at the mall, or Flywire.com). I will in future blogs go into depth on the various carriers in the south western Pennsylvania area which these carriers prices do vary slightly through out the Continental U.S..
Pre-paid is cheap cellular phones but the cost of the minutes may vary dramatically. the cost of pre-paid depends on the minutes used and the features offered by the carrier.
