1. Research our vast catalog of cell phone models. One of the biggest factors that people have is PRICE. If you're on a tight budget and you don't want to pay anything up front for the phone, then go to our Instant Rebate phone page.
2. Decide if you want a high-end stylish phone that will cost you some money upfront, and are willing to wait for the mail-in rebates which can take several months to arrive. Note that our prices, even for the high-end models, are low compared to what you'll see in the shopping malls and retail stores.
3. Once you've decided which phone model you like, you will then need to select a calling plan. This is a very important step and you should think a little bit about how you will be using your phone regularly before choosing a plan.
4. When choosing a calling plan, you should ESTIMATE HOW MANY MINUTES YOU WILL USE EACH DAY (during peak hours which are typically 6AM - 9PM). For example, if you can limit your talk time to 30 minutes per day, that is roughly 600 minutes per month (not including weekends, which are usually free anyway).
5. We highly recommend plans that have free nights & weekend calling. This allows you to talk for a long time on the weekends and most of these plans have free long distance too.
6. Finally, when choosing a plan, keep in mind that you can increase it later during your contract without penalty. So, pick something reasonable and monitor your usage carefully. If you notice that you go over your limit, then you should increase your calling plan.
