Gone are days when only way you could afford a cell phone was to buy into a lengthy cell phone plan. In those early days, a cell phone plan included a seemingly ironclad contract that lasted a minimum of three years. There simply were no choices. If you wanted a cell phone you had to buy phone and commit to being tied to a contract; like it or lump it.

Thankfully those days are over and today because of number of service providers, choices abound! Today’s cell phone plans are designed with consumer and their multitude of choices in mind. The wireless customer can choose an affordable cell phone with many choices and combinations of cell phone plans. That’s good news! There is bad news though, with large volume of information available today, where does a person start to look and how do they decide what to choose?

Choices, Choices, Choices

That’s reason for this article. My goal is to help guide you through myriad of choices that are available and to introduce you to world of prepaid cell phones, family plans and shared plans for multiple cell phones. I’ll be giving you some suggestions on how to match best cell phone plan for you and your lifestyle. I’ll also be giving you an idea where to find some ratings and reviews.

There are a few things to consider when making a decision. Once that’s done you can look into various reviews on what’s currently available. Some internet sites provide ratings for cell phone plans they advertise and are always striving to inform customer about their newest offerings and hottest deals.

Decision Helpers

• Hardware & Software.
• What’s Available?
• The prepaid cell phone – Diamonds & Dust.
• Contracts – Bundles of Bargains.
• Companies you can count on.
• What’s your style?

The Hardware When it all comes down to it, isn’t it all about phone? This is primarily one of first of decision making factors because it determines what kind of phone you’ll get. This is especially true when you are looking at what can be a very expensive purchase.

Almost every cell phone company provides most simple or most complex cell phones with their prepaid cell phone packages. Companies such as Verizon, Cricket, and Nextel all offer easy consumer friendly “pay as you go” options.

If you chose a contract, there seems to be a formula but some companies have very enticing offers especially if you are changing service providers. The basic rule of thumb seems to be:

• $50.00 price reduction for a one year contract.
• $100.00 price reduction for a two year contract.
• $150.00 price reduction for a three year contract.

The Software The service provider is most important software factor when choosing between a prepaid cell phone and cell phone plan contract. This is an important issue because even best phone is only as good as its signal.

Buyers beware however; some service providers’ piggyback on top of more established lines. If it’s a case of first come; first serve and your service provider piggybacks, you could be first one off. This results in dropped calls and unreliable air space. Not a good outcome to your purchase. So do your research diligently.

What’s Available?

Because it’s all about phone, ask yourself following questions. What kind of phone do you want? Do you want one that is bare bones or one that has it all? Does cell phone company or service provider offer a phone that comes with family or shared plans? If you chose a family plan, are both phones equally efficient? Do you want a cell phone that doubles as a palm pilot or perhaps you want a cell phone camera?

However, even entering boiler for inspection can be a safety hazard if you are not careful!

Firstly, heat, and remaining steam. It is better to cool boiler sufficiently before entry. However, sometimes, inspections have to be done in a hurry. Perhaps there is a schedule to be followed, or steam supply cannot be stopped for a long time. Or perhaps it is very important to find out condition of boiler as soon as possible.
