Fact
about free cell phones
It is been seen in the market that many merchants most often offer you a cell
phone for free and you really believe that it's the best purchase you can make?
But have your father explained you that there is no such things that can offer
you free because there is nothing for free. The
real fact is that offers for free cell phone are not really so free. Even if you
get cell phone free, then also you have to activate it on the network. And as
they give you free, you will have to follow their rules. And there are some conditions
viz. Condition
#1: "After Rebate"
Most commonly, the cell phone is not really free. First
you have to buy it, then you have to claim it in a mail-in rebate and the price
should be equivalent to the purchase rate. But mail-in rebates can create big
hassle. In mail-in rebates you have to wait for 8 weeks or more. The worse thing
is that, only 5 to 10 percent of buyers successfully claim the rebate. And others
sometime forget to claim it, may lose the coupon, make a mistake in claim process
or sometime date has been expired, and even some don't know how to claim the rebate.
Actually it can be said to be a game where you have to loose or win. Condition
#2: Commitment
When the cell phone is "free" you have to sign up the contract
for one year or longer terms. Actually the cell phone is free but the services
are not free (a regular bill is coming to you without any fault). You have to
pay for their services and networks.
Condition #3: Price
Most of the free cell phone providers will say
you that they can give you calling plans from national service providers such
as Sprint PCS or AT&T Wireless considering the same rates and pulses. It is somewhat
true, but at the same time they reduce your choices. It means that they give you
free cell phone with national services but at higher cost affecting plans. If
you still want to get that free cell phone then you have to look for: - Quality
Every one knows that the phones offered for free are the cheapest and
some ordinary phone but still they get it, because it is free. The free cell phone
provided to you may be heavier, bulky, may have less features or may have some
defects, which later on creates problems. So go for the best quality cell phones,
even if it is for, free you still have that choice. Price
Most often people go for free cell phones to save their money and get some benefits,
but they may suffer a loss by paying more prices (service and call charges) as
compared to the cell phone. Instead of grabbing the free cell phone go for different
choices available in the market. Services
People often take the phone and commit at the end, this thing not be happen with
you. Take the phone with better services that provide you best at cheaper rates.
Even the phone is for free, you have to pay for the services and call charges.
Call
charges
People buy the phone without knowing the correct call charges and
they go on talking on the phone for which they have to pay later a heavy amount.
So, while taking the free cell pone look for the exact and correct call charges.
Conclusion
Free cell phones are not really the bad offers but they are not that much free,
and they are far from savings.
