Don't Be A Cell Phone Dork - Check Out These Two Sites For Your Next Piece Of Ear Bling

Yup, I picked up some new ear bling yesterday. Got it in the mail. For free!

Esmerelda Gonzo - Gonzo Researcher Extraordinaire, was kind enough to clue me in to a few sites where you can get some sweet deals on a new cell phone. Forget the mall kiosk jockey. Forget the overpriced retail carrier store. These sites allow you start fresh with a new carrier assuming you want to switch, or re-up with your current provider, which is what I did.

For me Verizon has worked very well in providing voice and data services. Hi my name is Gomez Gonzo and I am a Crackberry addict. Very few dropped calls, and solid 3G Internet capability.

So, my two year contract was up with them, and since I am a loyal customer of Verizon's there was no way I was going to change providers. But the jackals wanted to charge me $200 bones for some new ear gear. No way said I.

So after much whining to Esmerelda, she decided ever so kindly that she would take it upon herself to see if there was an answer to my problem...low and behold, she presented wirefly.com, and letstalk.com as possible solutions.

Assuming your current contract is up, or you are up for an upgrade, these are two good places to check for cell phones. They work through all of the major providers: Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and so on.

Letstalk.com was the source I went through. I picked up a new Blackberry Tour for free, and all I had to do was re-up with Verizon for another two years. Great.

Whether you call Letstalk or go through the net, the service was fantastic. When I talked with them about some questions I had I was speaking to a woman in Texas...Texas is not India. And she was very helpful.

My service is still stellar, my new phone was free (the Verizon store wanted to charge me $199), and I am a happy consumer.
