Today Buying a cell phone can be a very messy business.
There are dozens of phone brands and models and oodles of service providers with a dizzying array of rate plans. To the average consumer, figuring out what's what can take on almost nightmarish dimensions. The old way of doing things meant going to each wireless provider's bricks and mortar store and placing yourself in the hungry maw of their salespeople. Or you could go to each provider's website, endlessly browsing through option after option with no idea of what it all means. Now, with just a few clicks, you can navigate this process with relative ease and feel confident at the end that you've made an informed decision.
