It is important to realize just what you need when you are shopping for new cell phone plans. Every cell network carrier is different and has their own guidelines, so make sure you comparison-shop wisely. All options are not the same, and every contract is different. Read the fine print.
Obviously, if you live in a big city you will not have many issues as far as reception and coverage. It's when you start trying to look for coverage for areas outside the service area you might run into problems. Rural and isolated communities will not have as much available to them, so it helps to keep looking. There are some networks that offer "booster" service, increasing the all important signal from their cell towers. It's worth your time to give it a look.
If you live in a city and reception is not a problem, there's a multitude of choices available to you. There's no need for a booster service or additional options, as the standard applications will work best. Also, the amount of time you use will also be a factor in determining the price of the plan. Destination calls in also a major concern as to what your final price will look like. If you are calling out of your region, minutes used are likely to be used up quickly.
It's also important to figure out where you will be calling. Will you be making calls all over the country and overseas? Or will you be calling people mainly in your locale? Many plans have a person-to-person program whereby if they are in the same vicinity and on the same plan, the minutes are free.
There may be a fee if you call outside your regional area originally specified. Again, it pays to ask your friends and family which carrier they use; it might be smarter to go with whom they contracted. Any extras such as messaging and texting, sending videos and taking pictures all cost money and are not included in initial bill. Be sure to monitor yourself to see exactly what it is you need, and if you can really afford any extras. Even if you can afford them, will you use them?
