If you’re like we are and really not thrilled with your cell phone service and provider (and monthly bill – let’s just be honest here), an unlocked phone could be the answer. This is something pretty new on the market and I love the freedom it offers to consumers. Read on:
What Is An Unlocked Phone?
An unlocked smartphone is a phone that isn’t tied to a specific carrier or contract. So you have the freedom to shop for the latest phones and plans as often — or as infrequently — as you like. And when it comes to international travel, unlocked phones can’t be beat.
Unlocked phones are becoming a popular choice here in the U.S. Why? Because nothing beats the freedom of an unlocked phone when it comes to choice of models, carriers or plans. There are 3 main benefits over a traditional annual contract that you sign with one carrier:
- They offer freedom and flexibility from carriers and contracts. No more counting down the days until your contract ends so you can shop for a new provider!
- Save money. I don’t know about you but our cell phone contracts are PRICEY. I love the idea of being able to save on this monthly expense.
- Great for International Travel. We recently went to Jamaica and I had to call our provider and add some kind of global service to our plan, change a bunch of settings on our phone, and then still deal with subpar service abroad. Unlocked phones make travel much easier.
