Buying Cell Phone Accessories Online? 5 Tips to Shop Smart
John Hooley asked:
How many times have you strolled through the mall and been “attacked” by one of the cell phone kiosks’ employees trying to shove a cell phone down your throat? Do you really want to support this type of annoying sales pitch by buying a mobile phone from them? And what about accessories- do you want to feel pressured into purchasing something for your phone that you know you don’t need? For these reasons (among many others), buying cell phones and accompanying accessories online is quickly becoming the next big wave, so we’ve crafted the top five tips (in no specific order) to help you shop smart on the World Wide Web. Make sure to find a site with:
1) A Wide Variety of Brand Name and Generic Accessories- While the latest accessories always arrive in brand name form first, many of the best cell phone add-ons are available in a generic form at a significantly lower cost to you.
2) A Price Guarantee- Have you ever bought something after shopping around for a while only to find the exact same item at another store for less money? It’s annoying, to say the least, so check to make sure that the online store you purchase from has some sort of price protection or guarantee. It will help to ease your mind, whether you have to use it or not.
3) Free Shipping- Not for every purchase, but at a reasonable purchase level your shipping should be covered by the online store. You should never buy $50 worth of products and have to pay $10 or $15 in shipping charges. Saving that amount in shipping fees is worth being hassled at the mall.
4) Fast Service- If you order your products today, why should you have to wait a week for it to be shipped to you? Allow a reasonable amount of time (under 3 days) for your purchase to be on its way to your front door.
5) A Privacy Policy-All payment and personal information needs to be protected, and it’s up to the ecommerce site to do so. Their privacy policy should be accessible from their website’s homepage on the World Wide Web for all potential customers to see.
As a reminder, the employees of cell phone shops and kiosks are paid on a commission basis. During certain promotions, they are paid at a higher rate when you buy certain products, so they will obviously try to sell you these phones and accessories over ones they don’t make as much money on. How can you really be sure that what they’re selling you is what you actually need? By shopping online, you’ll get the plain truth about each phone and service with accurate descriptions in writing before you buy.

Cell Phones – The Modern Cell Phone
Dane Stanton asked:
Cell phones have in recent history become as much of us as our car or our wallets and purses. Have you ever left your cell phone at home and for the whole day felt almost empty, like something was missing? Not only that but how helpless did you feel not being able to contact the people you needed to talk too?
The Modern Cell Phone
Do you remember a time when the only functions a cell phone had was to either tell the time or make a phone call? Today the modern cell phone is made up of several different functions that could rival most computers 5 years back.
When digital cameras first came out with 2.1 mega pixels we were amazed at how easy it was to take ‘high-quality’ photos. Now every cell phone today comes with a digital camera of this same quality. Not only that, but video cameras have also become the norm in any newly released cell phone.
Now you don’t have to carry around a camera with you. Taking a photo is as easy as pulling your phone out of your pocket and pushing a button. Not only that but most phones today allow access of memory cards, allowing you to store up to 2 gigabytes of storage. That’s enough to take 1000 high quality digital photos!
A Musical Cell Phone
Portable music players have become big business recently, especially with Apple’s creation, the iPod. This market has since then moved into the cell phone industry where if a phone doesn’t come with a new cool way of playing music, no one is going to buy it!
Apple have recently released it’s version, the iPhone which is set to become one of the most popular phones ever to be released onto the market. This phone doesn’t look like it was designed to be a phone at all with it’s sleek exterior, it mimics the iPod making it a very popular choice for young people.
Yes the capabilities of storing, playing and even downloading music is a must in the cell phone industry if a company wishes to make any sales.
What’s Next?
It’s hard to imagine that in just the short amount of time cell phones have been on the planet, they have come so far. What will they have in store for us in another 10 years? Will there even be the need for a cell phone? Perhaps all we’ll need is a chip inserted in our head that will allow us to make calls and listen to music just by using ‘mind power’!
Seems a little crazy doesn’t it? Buy why not? Who’s to say what the modern cell phone is going to be like in another 10, 20 or 50 years time. Whatever we’re in store for, I’m certain there’s going to be a lot of fun involved in using one!
