Finding the Best Cell Phone Service


As the graphic above illustrates, when thinking about the best service for your needs, there are three interrelated things to consider.
  • Coverage Does the phone work where and when I need it?
  • Cell Phone Does the phone have the features I want? Is it within my budget, and am I getting the best deal for it?
  • Rate Plan Am I spending as little as possible each month to get what I need from my service?
