  • Unlocked Cell Phones Have Many Advantages

    Cell phones that are purchased from wireless providers are automatically "locked" to that network.  What that means is that if you decide to switch to a different network/carrier, you will be unable to take your phone with you to the new network, despite the high costs you might have paid for it originally.  The better option is to purchase an unlocked cell phone in the first place, which will help you avoid this potential problem and also comes with some other benefits.

  • Go Green with a Used Cell Phone

    The environment is one of the growing "hot topics" of today.  Everywhere you look people are looking for ways to be more energy efficient, conserve resources, and generally make the world we live in a better place.  Surprisingly, the cell phone market is no exception.  In 2005, it was estimated that Americans replaced over 100 million cell phones.  That's a lot of old phones that needed a place to go.  Some got stashed in a drawer for emergency use purposes, some were recycled, and a large majority were simply thrown away.  Those phones that got thrown away were likely sent to a landfill or an incinerator.  The metals, plastics, and harmful chemicals in things like the batteries are not the sort of things we want seeping in to our soil or being burned into our atmosphere.  Yet, unfortuntely, that is exactly what happens.
