Used Cell Phones Save You Money

Older used cell phones save the most money!

People who really, really want to save money not only use cell phones, but buy used cell phones.

How does using cell phones save you money? With cell phones you can control how much money you spend each month by prepaying for minutes, or by tracking your minutes with your carrier.

With data plans even cheaper, people have begun using cell phone’s data to communicate (which is often cheaper since it’s not prioritised by networks and takes up less room; think a 20 word text vs. connecting a phone call, chatting for five minutes, etc.).

To save more money, used cell phones are a great boon. Free of contracts and carrier affiliations, used cell phones can help to cut a few dollars off the expense of buying and using a cell phone. Used cell phones still offer the same great quality, and can often be bought as refurbished cell phones.

If you really want to save money, older used cell phones (older refurbished blackberries or nokias) have great durability and function and a huge discount of newer, trendier phones.

Of course, to save the most money with used cell phones it’s important to carefully pick a carrier or pay as you go plan based on how you plan to use your used cell phones.

Some websites will help you analyze your phone bill, but for a fee. Otherwise, careful planning on cell phone use is required.

Want To Avoid The Upcoming iPhone Fight?

Unlocked Cell Phones Lead To Carrier Freedom

Soon AT&T will lose it’s monopoly on the iPhone, with Verizon gaining an edge in the market.

But as AT&T has pointed out (in the beginning of what looks to be some mean back-and-forth advertising), Verizon is not as fast as AT&T, and iPhone users tend to be heavy on apps and social media, meaning they have certain expectations.

On the other hand, Verizon can counter, they cover more areas, so bandwidth aside, you’re less likely to have dropped calls, and it will be easier to travel.

Not sure which carrier will come out ahead? Want to avoid the battle entirely? Switch to unlocked cell phones (or a jailbroken iPhone). Once you’ve jailbroken your iPhone, you can use it to hop networks as is the ability of unlocked cell phones.

If you are locked in a contract, then consider buying unlocked cell phones online. This allows you to  look for cheaper unlocked cell phones that don’t come with carrier strings.

Then you can jump sides in the AT&T-Verizon war, using your unlocked cell phones.

Japan Earthquake May Delay Cell Phone Manufacturing

With so many electronic parts manufactured in Japan, and the massive devastation of the March 11th earthquake, it’s no wonder cell phones (and other electronics) manufacturing will have a bit of a slow down in the short term.

Really excited about that new cell phone but worried it might be unavailable? Get yourself a deal and buy some used cell phones now. Used cell phones are often available in newer models, and are perfect for those wanting the latest gadget without the pricetag.

Besides saving money, used cell phones are available right now! Choose from refurbished Blackberries, cheaper (jailbroken!) iPhones, Samsungs, HTC, and more!

Used cell phones make great gifts for family members, too. Children can have used cell phones, and the low price means less worry about loss and damage. For your older family member, a used cell phone is an affordable way to segue them into smartphone usage.

More Companies Making Unlocked Cell Phones Out Of The Shoot

BLU is a South American Android unlocked cell phone manufacturer, and they’ve come to the US.

Known for their colorful, unlocked renditions of Android‘s cell phones, BLU is hoping to start selling products in the US market. Having rapidly expanded since 2009, BLU focuses on both style and function, which will be a nice addition to the US market.

With tons of world phone options, BLU makes unlocked cell phones that will work not just all over the US, but the world.

Although most carriers will lock Android cell phone before selling them to consumers, Android, and the companies that make their phones, continue to lead the way in unlocked cell phones, making phones who have the most potential to be like pocket computers that make calls, rather than cell phones that are also toys (like Apple’s very locked model-but if you want a jailbroken iPhone, then the potential resumes!).

So watch for BLU products to start appearing on the market over the next few years, and enjoy the colorful style they’ll bring to the Android market.

Looking to buy Android unlocked cell phones right now? Look no further: CellularTrendz.com has a great selection of unlocked cell phones that include Adroids, jailbroken iPhones, Blackberries, and more.
