Buying a cell phone could be confusing some times. It is because you are not just considering the model but also many other aspects. If you are buying it for your teen then you have more responsibility on your shoulders because you have to choose the model your teen likes and also you have to decide whether to go for a contract cell phone or the pay as you go one. The advantages or the benefits of the cell phone depend on you and your needs. Here is how you can choose between a prepaid and a contract cell phone.
- You will have to determine the budget of your phone. Consider the facts that how much you are going to spend on buying a phone of your choice and the amount of money you want to spend using it monthly. Whatever you choose the contract phone or the pay as you go phone there is one thing you will need in both cases and that is talk time every month.
- Decide on how much you are going to use the phone. If you are buying the phone for your teen then choose a prepaid phone because you might need to pay extra fees in case your kid exceeds the monthly plan. If the phone is for you and if you need a lot of talk time then it is better if you opt for a contract phone.
- It is not just the minutes you need to consider, but also the text messaging. In prepaid cell phones, you will be charged separately for every text you send or receive. With a contract phone you will get unlimited messages for monthly fee. So, if you text a lot then go for a contract phone.
- Choose extra things for your mobile phones. Phones can click snaps, browse internet, play music and radio. Some carriers even offer long distance calls and travelling options too.
- Remember if you are to sign a cell phone contract then find out the monthly bill will amount inclusive of taxes and other charges. Or else your bill will amount to more than your planned budget.
