Services
Offered: Prepaid
Cellular Phone Service
Company Overview: TracFone was founded in 1997, making
them one of the first prepaid wireless providers. They
are owned by America Movil, the largest cellular company
in the nation. With over 140 million prepaid
subscribers, they attribute their success to their
specialization in prepaid cellular phone service.
Our Review: TracFone makes wireless phones accessible to
everyone. They have a great history and a very simple
program. You buy the phone, you buy the minutes, no
strings attached. Then you don’t have to worry about
monthly bills or minutes you don’t use. TracFone itself
is a great company, and prepaid cellular service is a
great idea if you only need a cell phone every once in a
while.
User Review: I couldn’t get cellular phone service from
anyone without paying at least $200 deposit, so I
started checking out prepaid plans. I didn’t like any of
the prepaid options from the major phone providers, so I
checked out Tracfone. Their phones and phone cards were
exactly what I was looking for. I’ve been a customer for
two years and I’m so glad I decided to use TracFone.

Services
Offered: Cellular Phone
Service Comparison Shopping, Cellular Phone Accessories
Company Overview: Wireless Emporium was established in
2001. They have quickly become one of the leading online
cellular retailers. They offer cellular service
comparison shopping and cellular phone accessories for
every make and model of cell phone. They also have a
100% complete satisfaction guarantee on all of their
products.
Our Review: A 100% customer satisfaction guarantee is
definitely a good way to attract business. Their “about”
section is very self-absorbed and boastful, but they do
have great prices on great products, so we can’t
complain too much. Overall, although they don’t directly
sell the cellular phone service you desire, they’re a
great place to comparison shop phone prices and plans in
one place, before you sign up with any one company.
User Review: At Wireless Emporium, I was able to compare
all the hot phones from all different cellular service
providers in one place. Once I found the one I wanted,
all I had to do was click on a link to be redirected to
sign up for service with the company I chose. Plus, I
was also able to get tons of cool accessories for my new
phone while I was there. |

service, cellular phone accessories
Company Overview: Letstalk.com was founded in 1999. They
have since raised over $21 million in funding from
various sources. In 2001, they began partnering with
many Fortune 1000 companies to provide comprehensive
wireless services and lower cellular service costs for
consumers.
Our Review: This is an amazing company. You can compare
cellular phone service from all of the major carriers,
as well as purchase the service right there on the spot.
They offer better prices on phones through their
affiliations and often lower plan prices. Plus, they
have 24/7 customer service, which is always nice.
User Review: I originally intended to just go to a local
cellular phone service retailer and get a phone and a
plan. However, I decided to look around on the internet
to see if I was missing anything. I found LetsTalk.com,
and they got me a phone and plan that was way cheaper
than what was offered directly from the company. And
they were so helpful and friendly; I’ve already told all
my friends about them. |

nation’s largest wireless carriers. They offer
comprehensive cellular phone services to 63.7 million

Our Review: Verizon is a top competitor in the world of
cellular phone service. They have one of the best
nationwide networks of all carriers, and offer great
plans and options for consumers. Their customer service
is definitely there for you when needed. If you need a
good cellular phone from a great company, check these
guys out.
User Review: I have been a Verizon customer for over
five years. I love the service I get, both from my phone
and from the customer service team at Verizon. My plan
is simple, my phone cost me nothing, and I’ve never had
any problems with them at all. |

How To Select The Best Company For Cellular Phone Service |
|
Choosing the
right cellular phone service can be a difficult
decision. With so many companies out there offering so
many different options, plans, phones, and promotions,
making the right choice for yourself can be a
complicated one. The first and most important thing to
do is to research all of your options and see what is
available to you. You will need to check with the
different cellular phone service companies and see which
ones are better in your area, and which of those have
the better options to suit your cellular needs. For this
purpose, websites like the Wireless Emporium and
LetsTalk.com are great resources. There you can compare
all different plans and phones from all the major
cellular phone service providers in one spot. This will
save you a lot of time and effort because you won’t have
to visit each site individually. Also, many of the
companies offer incentives for new customers, but once
you sign up those incentives can change or be taken
away, so make sure that you read all the fine print
about these incentives, and definitely don’t choose a
cellular phone service company based solely on the new
customer deals that they offer. You need to ensure they
have a plan that works for you, as well as a network
that provides good coverage in your area. Also, if you
are looking for a particular phone, that may influence
your decision because some companies have exclusive
rights to phones, such as the relationship between AT&T
and the iPhone. Although choosing the right cellular
service company is mostly a matter of personal
preference, it still shouldn’t be rushed into. If you
don’t pay attention and do some research on your
options, you may end up signing up with a company that
you think has a great deal on cellular phone service,
only to find out later that the customer service is
terrible, or worse, the network doesn’t work as well in
your area as that of a different carrier. As long as you
take the time to fully understand what you are getting
into, choosing a cellular phone service company should
be fairly hassle free.
