Free Cell Phones Facts

By: FreeCellPhoneGuy Home | Communications


Start your research right here! If you want to know who has the best cell phone deals and cell phone plans or who offers the best coverage and reception services then you are in the right place. The Internet is making it easier than ever to compare cell phones and cell phones plans right from your home. Get a free cell phone or replace your old cell phone by finding the right offer today.

Many of the new cell phone models even have cool features like a built in camera, Bluetooth, MP3, PDA, voice activated calling, two way communication via walkie talkie style messaging from Nextel or Sprint PCS, pager mode, internet access, sms messages, speaker phone, and many other cool features included for the modern cell phone user. If you are looking for the hottest online cell phones and the top cellular providers with the best discount services, then look for the Apple iPhone, Palm, Razr and Smartphone PDAs like the Treo and Blackberry.

Many free cell phone offers include free shipping and calling plans with free night and weekend minutes, free long distance and nationwide long distance as well as free roaming. Select a calling plan for your free cell phone that has the basic features you need and use like free voice mail, call waiting, caller ID, 3 way conference calling, and cusomizable ringtones. Cell phones come in many different varieties and sizes including flip and bar phones, PDA and smartphones, camera and video phones, MP3 and GPS phones. These phones are available from the more popular cell phone manufacturers like Apple, LG, Kyocera, Sanyo, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola, Palm, Panasonic, RIM, Audiovox, Hitachi and for the kids, Firefly. Choosing a new cell phone or refurbished cell phone with the features you is just as important as choosing the right carrier.

When you shop for a free cell phone online, determine your needs before you begin your search. Although "free" cell phones aren't really free in that the cost of the phone is spread out in your monthly service fees, they can be a huge money saver especially when starting out with new service. Many times the online free cell phone offers are much cheaper than those found in the mall kiosks or in retail locations as the online store has much less overhead to maintain and can pass these cost saving to you in the form of a subsidized phone or a rebate. Usually the only drawback to shopping online for a free cell phone is that you have to wait a couple of days to get your new cell phone but that is pretty easy to live with when you consider the cost savings.

Most free cell phone offers will come standard with a free accessory kit that includes a car charger, home charger, headset and phone case. Not all of these accessories will be top of the line and you'll have to pay extra to ugrade to better quality accessories. But more important then the quality of the accessory kit is the quality of the cell phone network. Not every cellular carrier uses the same cell phone technology with most offering digital and analog networks and others offering PCS service. There are pros and cons for every network but perhaps the most important thing to consider is whether or not your phone will work when you are out or your home network and "roaming" onto another network. A cell phone is only good when you can use it after all. Most every cellular carrier will offer a free cell phone and the larger networks will even offer no credit check or no credit card contracts to get you to sign up. If not, you can be sure that they will also have a pre-paid plan that many times will also include a free cell phone.

GSM: Short for Global System for Mobile Communications, GSM is the most widespread standard for cell phones networks in the world. If you're a jetsetter who likes keeping in touch during your far-flung travels, you should go with a GSM-enabled phone, and here in the U.S., AT&T and T-Mobile are both GSM carriers. CDMA: Short for Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA originally came from the military and all calls are actually scrambled with 64-bit encryption. Verizon, Sprint and AllTell use CDMA here in the US and these networks include the high speed digital access that many premium customers desire. As these networks use different technolgies, phones from one network will not work on a different network and this could be a problem for people who travel frequently.

Most cell phone providers offer either pre-paid or regular monthly billing plans. Although you will usually get a lot more minutes with your regular billing plans, a pre-paid plan can offer many advantages. They are easier to monitor, have no service fees or monthly bill and the cost can be spread out over many months. You won't usually find a free cell phone offer with a pre-paid cell phone plan but that shouldn't matter too much of you don't use a cell phone very often and are just looking for basic service when you need it. Pre-paid cell phone plans are also great for those with less than perfect credit or if you don't want to use your real name when you sign up for a plan.

Tired of using an old cell phone model? If your original service contract has expired and you are paying on a month by month basis, then contact your carrier and see what deals they have on new cell phones or free cell phones. If you don't like what they are offering, consider switching your carrier. You can easily port over your old phone number to your new cell phone so your friends won't have to update their address books and you'll never miss a call. Want to add a line to your account for your spouse or child? Again, be sure to check with your carrier to find out what deal they are offering you. Most carriers will bend over backward to give you a good deal for fear that they might lose you to a competitor.
