How To Get The Best Deal Renewing Your Cell Contract |
| Despite
the high cost of cellular service most people couldn't imagine modern
life without their smartphones. When your contract with your cellular
carrier comes up for renewal is the perfect time to reign in the cost
to subscribe to cellular service. When a cellular carriers changes
their service plans they will try put you the subscriber on a plan that
costs you more or provides you with a lower level of service. The
cellular carriers will renew your contract in a way that they benefits
them not you.
Cellular carriers will try to get subscribers to sign up for top end
ultimate cellular plans as a way to give the subscribers services they
want such as large amounts of data, unlimited texting, and cheaper long
distance rates. This ends up selling people a lot of services they
don't use. Can people turn the table back on the carriers and tilt
things in their favor getting a plan that gives them what them what
they need for a more reasonable price? It's not just possible it's easy
if you know the tricks. Know what plan you want to go on (doesn't matter if your are switching providers or not): Knowing what services you are using most find the cellular service plan that provides it and avoiding the services you are not likely will help you from overspending. Don't let them upsell: If you are going to renew with your current cellular carrier but want to avoid the sales staff from upselling you to a premium cellular plan, taking printed information from competing carriers will put you in charge, if there is any risk present of losing a subscriber the sales staff will be less likely to put pressure to get you to sign up for a top tier plan. Be prepared to walk to the independent dealer: If you have dealt with the stores that are owned and operated by the cellular carriers, you may want to try an independent cellular dealer. While the carrier owned and operated stores have more of interest renewing subscribers and upselling them to premium or ultimate cellular plans. Independent dealers are more flexible when discussing and compairing rate plans from all the major carriers. Don't get a high end phone: The high cost of cellular plans is due partly to the cost to the carriers incur buying phones from manufacturers that they provide to subscribers for free or at a reduced price. When selling top of the line smartphones the carriers have to have to recover rest of the cost of phones over the life of the contract. Cellular carriers have implemented minimum required plans to qualify for the newest top of the line smartphones. Choosing an entry level or mid tier smartphone will eliminate the need for a mandatory subscription to the biggest most expensive cell phone plan. Look at switching carriers: Most people usually just resign with their current cellular carrier unless they are really dissatisfied with the service they are getting. Customers of the big national carriers should look at not just other national carriers but also regional carriers and mobile network virtual operators MNVO's to get a cellular plan that gives them the services they use and less paying for services that are not used. Renewing a cellular contract shouldn’t be about just getting a new cell phone but also about finding the best plan and carrier to help you get the best value for your money. The contract you sign onto will be a two year commitment looking for the best deal won’t just help you save a few dollars a month, it will amount to few hundred over the term of the contract. |
