Cell Phone Contract Length

1 comments | Post Comments

Within the past few years, there has been a major shift in the cell phone industry. It has become an industry standard to have 2 year contracts instead of 1. Most carriers like Verizon, Cingular now AT&T and Sprint already had 2 year contract requirements. T-Mobile was the most popular carrier with only a 1 year contract requirement.

Within the last year and a half, T-Mobile changed their policy and now also require a 2 year contract. Therefore, all the cell phone carriers and cell phone plans you find on our website require a contract length of 2 years. For customers looking for other options, the only other option available is to go with prepaid service which does not have a contract requirement.

Prepaid service gives you the flexibility of no contract, but will cost your pocket dearly. The phones are more expensive and the cost per minute is a lot higher compared with contract plans. Our recommendation is to go ahead and sign up with a contract length plan and before you know it, the contract will be over.

First Time Cell Phone Buyers Should Purchase Contract Plans Over Prepaid

0 comments | Post Comments

Many first time cell phone buyers ask whether they should go with a regular contract plan cell phone or pre-paid service. From our experience and knowledge we recommend purchasing a regular cell phone plan with a contract.

Benefits of Purchasing a contract cell phone plan over Prepaid
  • Free cell phones. Whenever you purchase a contract cell phone plan, there is always free cell phones available for purchase. This is true with all carriers. Look through our site at all carrier sections and you will see free and extremely discounted cell phones available with all plans.

  • More Minutes for your money - When you purchase a contract length plan, you pay a set monthly amount for the length of the contract. In return for this amount, you will be given a set number of minutes to use per month. Comparing these minutes with a prepaid plan minutes, you will see a big difference in the ratio of cost/number of minutes.

  • Better Customer Service - During the length of your contract, if you have any questions or problems with your cell phone, your carrier's customer service will gladly answer and help you in any way they can. For customers whose phones have gone bad because of a manufacturer's default, customer service will most likely replace their phones for zero or very little charge.

  • Better Cell Phone Plans - Many contract length or postpaid plans come with free nights and weekends, a feature not available to prepaid customers. This is an extremely useful and beneficial benefit for postpaid customers.

Prepaid Cell Phone Disadvantages

Prepaid cell phones are designed to target consumers who do not have the credit requirements to purchase a contract cell phone plan or postpaid service. Therefore, you do not have a contract length, but pay for your cell phone minutes ahead of time. This means you either purchase a cell phone minute card (like buying a calling card) or give your bank account information and have the money automatically deducted from your bank account.
  • You get less minutes - As a user of prepaid plan, you get less minutes for your money compared with a post-plan.


  • No Free Cell Phones - You have to purchase your device and activate it as a prepaid cell phone, no free phones come with a prepaid plan.
There are many other benefits for contract length cell phone plans or postpaid plans. In short, we hope this article has briefly described the main benefits of why you should purchase a contract length cell phone plan even if you are new to cell phones and are a first time buyer.

In the long run, not only will you save money, but you will also be glad with the service and the large amount of free cell phones available to you.

When Purchasing a Cell Phone, Can I Choose My Billing Cycle?

0 comments | Post Comments

As with most cell phone companies, when you sign up for a line, your billing cycle is generated automatically by the activation system. A billing cycle start date is the beginning of your cell phone month and when you have your full number of minutes. A billing cycle end date is the end of your cell phone month and when your bill gets generated and your amount due is calculated.

Changing Billing Cycles
If you would like or need to change your billing cycle for whatever reason, you can call customer service and request that your billing cycle be changed to a different date, you will most likely have a say then as to when you would like it to be. Many customers change their billing cycles to have it more along the same dates as their other bills to ease paying bills.

Feel free to comment or ask any questions.

I Currently Have a Contract With T-Mobile With About 6 Months Remaining, What Kind of a Deal Can I Get?

0 comments | Post Comments

To get the best deals in the wireless industry or with T-Mobile you have to be out of a contract with your current cell phone provider. Customers whose contract has finished are able to switch to other carriers and get the best cell phone deals available in the industry. Wireless companies are willing to give the best incentives and deals to these customers who are willing to switch carriers and sign up with them.

T-Mobile Customers Not Willing to Switch Carriers
Customers with finished contracts who are not willing to switch wireless providers can renew their existing contract with the same company and also get some incentives/discounts on phone prices for renewing their contract and staying with the company.

T-Mobile Customers Already In Contract and Nowhere Near Contract Expiration
Customers already in a contract and nowhere near the end of their contract (ie: 4, 5, 6+ months) are not able to get any deals or incentives on purchasing another cell phone and have to rely on a phone only purchase where prices can be significantly higher than purchasing with a plan.

You should contact T-Mobile customer service and ask when your contract finished or when you become eligible for an upgrade. Once you get to the date of being eligible for upgrade, you will be able to renew your contract and get a new cell phone for less.

Feel free to post comments or questions.
