cell phone gurus....
I am looking into getting a cell phone plan... Basically I want as cheap as possible, with a decent amount of features. What is a good company to go with, and where do i find good deals, like working out some kind of free/discounted phone? Or is it best to buy a used phone?
I dont really wanna just walk into a store and pay full price...
thanks guys

im with tmobile and me and my girlfriend are on the same plan we recieved 2 free phones when we signed the contract and between the 2 of us on the same plan our bill is about 105 bucks a month...and thats 2 phones on 1 account so im guessing thats a pretty good deal plus we almost always have service...

My way to buy a cell phone.
-Ask your friends or neighbors what provider they use. Make sure you ask people that use their phone around where you are going to be using the phone the most. Maybe around your school or home? Dont matter how cheap a phone is, if you dont have reception, it isnt worth jack.
-Research the company. See if their customer service is any good. See if anybody else has feedback on the company.
-Find out what particular features you want on your phone. Go online and see what phones are offered with the company. Different companies use different satellites (CDMA, GSM, TDMA....).
-Depending on what company you go with, you can start visiting local places. Small phone shops can sometimes offer prices that going into a huge store cant, and vice versa. So it would be good to shop around. Make a list of questions that you might have.
