Many customers ask and wonder what is the difference between purchasing their
cell phone through us or going to an
AT&T,
Verizon or any other wireless carrier corporate store and
purchasing through them. This article will explain what an authorized dealer does and also why an authorized dealer is the best option if you want to get the absolute best deal on your next cell phone.
A cell phone authorized dealer, like
LowCostCells.com, is exactly that, a dealer that is authorized by wireless carriers to sell cell phones and plans. If you look at many different industries, you
will notice that you do not go directly to the manufacturer to purchase the product or service. For example, if you purchase an automobile manufactured by Honda, you are not going directly to Honda's manufacturing facility or plant to purchase, you are visiting your local Honda dealer, which very very likely is not owned by Honda itself. In another example, when you purchase appliances, you go to your local consumer electronics store, not directly to the appliance manufacturer.
In the cell phone industry, products and services are distributed by the carrier itself through their corporate stores and also through authorized dealers.
The cell phones and cell phone 
plans that you can purchase through a carrier corporate store, you can also purchase through an authorized dealer. Authorized dealers do not and can not have plans and features that are different from the carrier itself. The carrier comes out with new plans and features for all its distributors, whether they may be their own corporate stores or their authorized dealers.
The biggest difference between an authorized cell phone dealer and carrier corporate stores is the pricing of the phones.
Some authorized dealers, like LowCostCells.com, provide phone 
pricing that is much much lower than the carrier itself. The wireless carrier has no say in how much its authorized dealers charge for the phone itself, just like how authorized dealers have no say over the cell phone plans and features introduced by the carrier. Many people do not realize this tremendous amount of benefit and savings over purchasing directly from the carrier.
To prove this point, you can look throughout our website and compare our cell phone prices with those of the carrier itself, you will be amazed and very surprised with the difference. Just a few examples (prices are from the time this post was written):
