Many outlets sell used cell phones and mobile devices catered to your interest. There are a few things you should know when buying a used cell phone in order to get the most bang for your buck. Online vendors such as eBay are a popular place to find used models of cell phones. One very important thing to do is to ask questions. See if the phones are ‘unlocked,’ meaning they work with any service provider. Oftentimes phones are specific to a certain carrier, such as the Android with Verizon or the iPhone with AT&T.

Make sure you are buying a phone that will work with your service plan. Be sure to ask other standard questions too – like why the phone is being sold, if there are any damages, what features it might have, etc. Be aware that if you purchase a phone such as a BlackBerry or an iPhone you will likely have to add a data plan to your cell phone bill in the long run. It is also important to ask about a return policy. Your phone might work just fine right out of the gate, but falter a few days afterward and you’ll have wasted your money. See if you can return it for a refund or exchange it for a new model before committing to any purchase – and be sure to keep all receipts and copies of the transaction when dealing with online vendors.

Used cell phones can range anywhere from $10 to $150 depending on what you are buying. Phones that are more in demand, such as iPhones, Androids and the latest Blackberry models, will undoubtedly cost a bit more.

Be sure to go over a few of these helpful tips when making your decision about purchasing a used cell phone, and you should be on your way to getting the best possible product you could ask for. Don’t miss out on this great money-saving opportunity.

Making the switch to a smart phone can seem expensive to someone used to the cost of a regular cell phone, which is why a little research on the smart phone market can really pay off. With some research, you will be able to find deals on cheap smartphones. Reading up on smart phones will also make you aware of the kind of features you should be looking for, no easy feat considering the many wonderful functions this new class of cell phones offers. It goes without saying that a smart phone should have a QWERTY keyboard, but on top of that you might look for a handset that includes a high-quality camera (e.g. 3.2 megapixels or more) and an expandable microSD slot so that you can boost your cell phone’s memory. With more memory, you’ll be able to store music and podcasts on your smart phone, making it an even handier all-in-one mobile device.

See how a phone feels in your hand, and whether you feel more comfortable navigating its interface with a track pad, tracking ball, or touch screen. The BlackBerry Pearl 9100, for example, is sleek and small, and yet includes a 3.2 megapixel camera, and picture-sharing through MMS (multimedia messaging service). It’s got a fantastic optical track pad that replaces the clunkiness of a tracking ball, and yet also avoids the smudging that often goes hand-in-hand with touch screen smart phones.

The point is not only how a phone looks and feels, but also what it allows you to do. Think carefully about what kinds of things you’ll be doing online with your smart phone, and how fast you’ll need a connection to be. Will you be using this phone for your business, or is it just a convenient way for you to email friends when you’re riding the bus or out about town?

If you’re more interested in a smart phone for personal use, consider the HTC Snap, an inexpensive, popular smart phone that allows reliable access to email, instant messaging, and web browsing without all the bells and whistles. A slight step up for someone interested in a first-time smart phone for business purposes might want to consider the LG IQ, which connects to the web via a much faster 3G+ connection, and allows you to surf the web via Internet Explorer 7. As with the BlackBerry Pearl, which can accommodate BlackBerry applications (apps) such as Facebook, the LG IQ can be loaded up with Windows apps, many of which will help you extend your smart phone’s capabilities to time management, social networking, and business and financial planning—just to name a few.

BlackBerry, LG, and HTC all make a number of different smart phone models, so while this overview gives you a sampling of the features offered by their most popular smart phones, the best thing to do is go out and try them for yourself. Your nearest cellular mobility provider will likely have a number of BlackBerry, LG, and HTC smart phones, from which you can choose the model that best suits you.
