Choosing a wireless cell phone company

There about 140 million people who carry wireless cell phones and in the next few years cell phones will become our number one method of communication. Despite their convenience, cell phones can also be the bane of our existence. Whether it be dropped calls, poor service, rate changes, people are fed up with their cell phone service.

The worst thing you can possibly do is sign up for a cell phone service plan over the phone. Sales people can tell you one thing and do another when there is no paperwork. Also, avoid signing a contract. If you can only get a deal with a contract sign a one-year deal only. Do not sign with a company that doesn't give you a reasonable time frame to check out the service.

Also, if the phone isn't working right out of the box, dump them. They will offer you another and then another and soon the trial period has run out and you are out of luck. Print out the contract and read it over and know what you are agreeing to from the start. Do not sign a contract over the phone without getting a copy at the local store or over the Internet. This is an industry that has lost its emphasis on customer service.
