This blog is all about how to get free cell phone deals. It is probably common knowledge that new contract carriers offer "free phones" to bring in business. It was this way back when I was selling phones in a Verizon store in the late 90s. Well, actually we had "penny" phones at the time. We had prices for New, Upgrade, and Equipment only. For example the Motorola StarTac ( popular phone back around 1999-2000) might have been $399.99 retail, $249.99 Upgrade, and $99.99 with a new contract. Usually there were a few cheap phones that went for a penny. I remember one Motorola flip phone, a Qualcomm ( 860 I think), and some Nokias in the 5100s, in particular. Upgrade deals were always much more.
These days prices on equipment are even more competitive and you can get new phones really cheap. A lot of smart phones are even free these days- I paid $700 for my first one!
Whats even more important is upgrade prices have dropped as well. With 100 Million people ( I guess, probably more) already using cell phones and happy with their service- a lot more are looking to upgrade. Instead of just going for new business, wireless carriers need to think about the cost of retaining business. The deal is, if you are willing to pay $40-60 a month or more for 2 years ( if you are an average customer this means you will be paying over $1000 and not costing the provider much in resources)your current wireless company will give you a free cell phone. And not just some cheap p.o.s. You can get a nice phone, whether you have Verizon, AT&T, T-mobile, or Joe's Wireless.
