Insurance is good for children and construction workers. If a child's phone breaks, the parent pays for repairs, if it's repairable. If not, they're faced with buying a new phone, which now costs $225 instead of the original $19.95 contract price. With the average cost of insurance set at $5 month, it could be well worth the investment. |
That could be bad for home emergencies. |
The biggest competition between cell phones companies is minutes to dollars. Someone might opt for the greatest number of minutes, but find that the coverage isn't there. That's why consumers should take advantage of the trial period and use the phone in different locations to test service. If returned within the time limit, they can end their contract without an early termination fee. |
