Should You Sign Up For A Long Term Plan With a Carrier?

There are many advertisements on TV about various cell phones. Many so called ‘great’ offers are also provided along with the phones. Various carriers offer a number of interesting offers if you sign up for a plan. Now we need to find out whether we should sign up for a long term contract with a carrier or not. There are many advantages of signing up for a long term plan but there are many demerits as well.

Whether you should sign up for a long term plan or not, it depends upon your usage. You should first consider whether you are using it for work or just to call friends and family. Then you also need to consider whether you will be making any international calls or just state calls with the phone/

Prepaid cell phones will be the best choice for you if you don’t want the phone for work and if you will not be making any international calls with the phone. There are people who don’t want to indulge into signing long term contracts with a carrier and may only use the cell phone lesser number of times. For such people, a one year or a bigger contract can actually be expensive even if we consider the various benefits of such contracts. A prepaid phone is also beneficial as there is no credit card required for it and you don’t get a monthly rental.

So it is better to take into consideration your usage before going for some long term contract like this with a carrier.
