Mobile Phones
Phones come in many shapes and prices these days, and no matter what you plan to use a phone for, there are several that match your needs. Simple pay as you go phones are the cheapest way to go if you don’t make a lot of calls, or just want a phone for emergency use without the monthly bills or long term contracts. They also offer the fewest features and generally cost the most per minute of use. You buy the phone up front, and then add minutes (for call time) and days (to extend the expiration date) to keep using it.
Contract plans often have free phones in exchange for a commitment to a monthly program. There are a wide variety of very nice phones available as part of various contract plans, and the plans range widely in the number of minutes per month and coverage in certain outlying areas. These phones are the best deal when it comes to cost per minute for users that spend a lot of time on the phone, but they normally require a two year committment.
The high end of the phone market consists of devices that are more computer than phone, such as the Android, Palm, or Blackberry styles of phones. These handheld powerhouses offer broadband web access, and thousands of apps that allow you to use your phone as a virtual office away from the office. These devices are usually best suited for people in business who need many of the features and power of a laptop in their phone. With the built-in camera you can take snapshots from all places where you are: From your children, the new pictures in the Fine Art Park West Gallery or just a product you want to sell at eBay.
