It is a fact that Cell phones have become a necessity of life for many people. And that they can hardly remember (assuming they are old enough to remember!) when they didn't have a cell phone almost permanently glued to the side of their head! Still, it is not surprising. Cell phones give us a means of communication in the car, on vacation, at work, and anywhere else. They are incredibly convenient. So, finding the right cell phone and cell phone plan that works for you is essential, but also somewhat overwhelming with the myriad of choices in phones, companies, and plans. So, how do you make sense of all of this and make the right mobile phone choice for you and your specific needs?



The first thing to do is to assess your lifestyle and phone usage. Do you need a basic cell phone or one that has lots of bells and whistles? Does it have to be a 'fashion accessory' or is 'it works' good enough? Cell phones offer everything from cameras to PDA’s that can be included in your phone. The more features that your phone has, then the more expensive it can be. So choose a phone based on how you will use it, not for the neat little gadgets in it. (Unless you particularly like 'neat little gadgets' like me. In which case... GO FOR IT! Just know what you are getting for your money.. To help there is an article here called 'Knowing the Difference between Cell Phones and Cell Phone Plans Will Save You Time and Money' - http://www.cellphonesphones.com/6340.php)



Decide what purposes that you are going to use your cell phone for. Are you going to use it only in emergencies or are you going to use it as a primary means of communication. Is it for personal use only? Or is it for the company? Depending on what you need it for will dictate exactly what functions you will need it to have. For example a Real Estate agent may well have a legitimate reason to have a camera on their cell phone for photographing houses they visit.



Cell phone plans are based on the number of minutes that you use your phone monthly, so if you are only going to use your phone in emergencies, then you will want to choose a cell phone plan that costs less and offers fewer minutes. On the other hand, if you are using it as a primary means of communication, then you will need a plan that offers you enough minutes each month that you will not go over and that offers you other perks, such as unlimited nights and weekends or free long distance calls. There are also 'Pay As You Go' mobile phone deals which have no contracts. However typically the phone companies then charge you much more to buy the cell phones in the first place (no discounts for you!). So you need to weigh up all the advantages and disadvantages of a contract versus pay as you go type deals BEFORE you commit.



If you do go the contract route then make sure you read the fine print of your contract. Do not sign a contract without understanding what the terms of your contract are. Make sure you know about any hidden fees that can increase your monthly costs. Read the section about terminating your service to ensure that you understand what you will need to do just in case you decide to end your service with a particular company. Reading fine print can save you money in the long run, as you will know what to expect and will better understand your rights as a consumer. Typically mobile phone companies have minimum contract periods of a year. So make sure you are in a financial position to meet an ongoing commitment.



Research several different cell phone companies. Compare rates as well as coverage area and plan options. There may not be much difference between companies in your area, but they may also vary widely, so it is always a good idea to research and compare. If you already have a cell phone provider and it is time for your contract to end, then take your bill around to different companies to see if they can beat the price you are getting from your current provider. Based on your usage, you may be able to get significant savings this way.



Finding a cell phone plan that meets your desires and your budget, should not be an overwhelming decision. Research, ask questions, and compare your choices to help you make the decision that is right for you and your needs. Do your research and you will be sure to find that plan and cell phone that will work for you! ;)
