Next, Examine the Plan
After choosing the phone, you can compare the provider plans on the same site where you found your perfect phone. Don't panic; just decide on the most important aspect of the plan:
Coverage for your area is an important consideration. Consider what area of the country or world you will need to access.
Is free long distance important to you? Or do you need the maximum amount of anytime minutes?
How about special features? Text messaging, call waiting, and other features often cost extra.
What's your top limit for a monthly fee?
Does the carrier have a 30-day trial period to test the plan?
