5. No-Contract Phones
Why sign up for a two-year contract and risk heavy cancellation fees when you can go no-contract?
Buy an unlocked phone that accepts a SIM card. You can find them highly discounted second hand or through big box stores. You aren’t locked into a specific carrier, your phone won’t come with carrier applications that eat space, and you can change plans easily.
Universal unlocked phones work with all major US carriers while an unlocked phone works with AT&T and T-Mobile.
