Free Cell Phones Galore
I’m looking at two Web pages full of cell phones, 26 of them in all. They’re supported by wireless service from the major cellular carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. These phones are of all different types and retail prices, but they have one important thing in common. They’re free of charge.
Oh, sure. Every cell phone store has a few dog phones that they can’t move, so they offer them free to get shoppers in the place. They’re usually something that went obsolete last year. How is this any different?
Well, let’s take look and see what kind of free phones you can get. Do you like BlackBerry phones? I see a BlackBerry Bold 9700 Black, a BlackBerry Curve 8520 Black and a BlackBerry Curve 8900 Silver. Take your pick. You can get them free when you order your phone with AT&T wireless service at the same price you’d pay anywhere else. Oh, they won’t give you a free BlackBerry? Then you better come to Cell Phone Plan Finder and check out the Free Phones page.
Here are some more BlackBerry deals. Get the BlackBerry 8530 in black or violet with Verizon Wireless service. Or choose the BlackBerry Storm 9530 Black, the BlackBerry Storm2 9550 Black or BlackBerry Tour 9630 Black. They’re all free when you order them with Verizon Wireless service.
The DROID ERIS by HTC is a popular smartphone. It’s free. So’s the Motorola DEVOUR Silver, the Nokia Nuron 5230, The T-Mobile Sidekick LX Brown, the Motorola Cliq XT with MOTOBLUR and the Motorola BACKFLIP with MOTOBLUR. All free.
Some other favorites include the LG Neon Blue, LG Xenon Red, Samsung Strive in black or purple, LG Rumor 2 in black titanium, vibrant blue or orange. How about a Samsung M330 Silver, Nokia 2720 Black, Samsung M240 Silver or Nokia 2720 Blue. They all have one thing in common. They’re free if you know where to get them. Here’s a hint: Cell Phone Plan Finder.
You’ve been craving a new cell phone. Why pay when you can get it free. Plus by ordering online there’s no standing in line or waiting around while your phone is activated. These phones are shipped free to your door, ready to be used. So what are you waiting for? Shop and compare free cell phones now, because free is soooo much better than paying.
