Finding a New Mobile Phone

Shopping for a new phone can be challenging. Fortunately, with some clever online research it’s possible to find a great mobile phone at a price that can be hard to believe.

Get Your Timing Right

Timing is very important when it comes to getting a special deal on a phone. Vendors have a suggested price to sell their phone, but just like any business they are not always exactly right when it comes to predicting how many phones they will sell.

Many times you can find special deals and negotiate at businesses who have overstocked a model or who are putting on a rapid, incredible sale to get a new phone well-known in the public and spike demand for it. Keep your eye on local sales and shop around before buying. The right timing can save you a lot.¹

Think About Want vs. Need

Many times the very flashiest new model is not what you need. Sure, you may want it, but when it comes to features you’ll actually use day to day it’s important to take a step back and be objective. Do you really need the top of the line phone for thousands of dollars or can you make do perfectly well with a much cheaper – but still perfectly good – new smartphone? In many cases the answer will be the latter, and there’s nothing wrong with that at all.²

Check For Extra Discounts

Many people have ended up spending more than they had to because they never checked for extra discounts that would have been available to them such as professional discounts, veteran’s discounts, old-age discounts and even special coupons. Don’t be shy to shop around and ask and also inquire with your employer, because at the end of the day it’s your money and you worked hard for it.³

More Insider Tips

There are other good tips to consider, some of which are just common sense. Firstly, don’t be afraid to switch the brand of smartphone you are buying. Many companies like Xiaomi offer much lower-priced but excellent phones. In addition, read reviews thoroughly to be on the lookout for common issues that are happening with phones as well as the biggest pros and cons. It will help you a lot in your buying decision and give you more leverage for negotiating.²
