Cell Phones – Important Factors To Consider
Cell phones are hand-held telephone devices with built-in antennas. They are often called wireless, mobile, or PCS phones. They are popular with callers, especially those who are frequently on the go, since they can be carried easily from one place to another.
Basically, cell phones are two-way radios.
The most recent issue about these devices is their perceived health hazards. As stated earlier, they are like radios. However, to be more accurate, cell phones are low-power, single-channel, two-way radio devices. When you talk on your phone, you are actually talking to a nearby base station. Base stations are low-power, multi-channel, two-way radios. Their function is to send your phone call into the regular land-line phone system so you can start talking with the person you are calling.
Now, since cell phones and their base stations are two-way radios, they produce radio-frequency (RF) energy which is what they use for communication. The scientific community both in the United States and internationally agree that the power from these base station antennas is far too low to produce health hazards and as long as people keep away from direct access to the antennas, they are safe from any perceived health risks.
Buying and Savings Tips
Cell phones are the “in” things nowadays and it’s hard not to find anyone without it. Many areas offer them for as low as $19.99. An excellent tactic to save on your type of service is to only get features you need. Call your wireless provider to cancel extra features if you are not using them. This will allow you to save some on your service plan.
Camera Cell Phones
To be sure, these devices are really the hottest new mobile gadgets in the marketplace these days. Never mind what sort of cell phone you have, whether it’s WAP-enabled, Bluetooth, or Infrared-based. Most of them in the market anyway have all these capabilities and more. There is no doubt that they have caught on like wildfire in the bushes. However, the popularity of mobile phones is hardly surprising.
Today’s cell phones can be used to do just about anything. Camera cell phones were first introduced in Japan several years ago. They immediately clicked in the Asian market. However, it was not until two years ago that thye were marketed in the US and became available to the masses. Industry analysts say that a huge number of camera phones were sold last year.
It may seem to you that a camera cell phone would be no different than having a regular device. But if truth be told having a camera in your mobile phone makes for an entirely different experience.
Shopping for just the right cell phone plan can be a daunting task. Don’t let appearances fool you. If a plan appears too good to be true, then it probably is. That is why it is highly important for you, as a consumer, to be very vigilant when shopping for cell phone plans. Compare prices. Read the fine print. But most important of all, consider all the factors.

What are some good sites where I can compare reviews of cell phones?When I signed up for my phone plan, I got a phone that was offered on a deal at that time, and it's turned out to be kind of a lemon. It's got very short battery life and I've had to replace it twice. Eventually, I'll want to buy a new phone, and I'd like to know some web sites where I can read reviews from phone users and/or other objective reviewers about the value of different phone models. Are you aware of any sites like this, and if so, which ones are good?

Here's a simple example. I'm going to ignore text messaging and mobile web prices because I don't know how complicated you want it to be.
I'm just going to assume there is a monthly charge (no matter how many minutes you use) and a charge per minute for the amount of minutes that you go over your allowed minutes.
Let's say plan A is 39.99/month for 500 minutes, and then it is $0.65 per minute after you use the 500 minutes.
Let's say plan B is $34.99/month for 450 minutes, and then it is $0.60 per minute after the 450 minutes.
Let x = number of minutes you use each month.
The cost of plan A would be
C = 39.99 if you use less than 500 minutes or
C = 39.99 + 0.65(x-500) if you use 500 minutes or more.
The cost of plan B would be
C = 34.99 if you use less than 450 minutes or
C = 34.99 + 0.60(x-450) if you use more than 450 minutes.
Right away you can see that Plan B is cheaper if you don't use more than 450 minutes.
You can find when the plans cost the same amount by setting the cost of each plan equal to each other.
39.99 + 0.65(x-500) = 34.99 +0.60(x-450)
Then solve for x.

Here are some things to consider that will make the process of comparing prepaid plans an easy one:
1. Price per minute – prepaid cell phones minutes cost between 10 cents and 60 cents. That's a huge range. With some prepaid providers you buy a bucket of minutes, and the more you buy at one time, the less per minute cost.
With others you put dollar amounts on your phone. With more money you add, your number of minutes per dollar will increase. Long story short, the more you spend, the cheaper each individual minute will be.
2. Expiring minutes -This is really important. Once your minutes expire, you will lose them. If you use your cell phone often, this probably won't be an issue.
But, if you are buying a phone for emergency purposes or to use infrequently, you might want to spend more per minute for a later expiration date. Some carriers also make you add a certain amount of minutes or money per month in order to keep your account active.
3. Daily Fees -Some carriers charge a fee for each day your phone is used. This can be as high as $1.00 a day, but will come with lower per minute fees.
If you use your phone infrequently this might be a good deal for you. If you use your phone for many days a month, you will be paying too much, especially if it's for short call.
4. Nights and weekends/ mobile to mobile -Some plans offer free nights and weekends and some offer free calls to others with the same carrier.
Again, you might want to pay more per minute if you will be able to take advantage of these features.
5. Roaming charges – Some carriers have roaming charges and other have none. It is important to find out if there will be times that you will be roaming.
If you will be roaming frequently, you will want to avoid a carrier that has roaming fees. Some are up to 70 cents per minute.
6. International calling -Some prepaid plans offer it and some do not. If you need international calling capabilities you will want to be sure that the carrier you select offers this service. Finding the best plan can be a daunting task.
Be sure to sit down and write what your needs will be before shopping. If you know what your needs are for the above topics, you will be able to make an educated comparison of prepaid plans.
Try MyRatePlan. At the source link below, you can compare single, family and/or prepaid plans.
You generally won't find discount codes for rate plans, although some corporations have discounts with specific carrier(s). Usually these come in the form of a percentage (e.g., 15%) off your monthly bill.
