Cell phones usually come packaged with a one, two or three year contract term, so the decision concerning which cell phone to choose is a big one. Most cell phone users, on average, keep their phone for about two years. In fact, the time you will use your chosen phone will be longer than many marriages. You want to be sure that you have investigated all of your options before settling on one.

One of the most major decisions when selecting your phone, aside from the carrier, is whether you choose a smart phone or a basic phone. A smart phone will be loaded with an almost endless stream of applications and options, but you will pay each month in the form of the plan you choose. A basic phone, on the other hand, will have far fewer options available, but you will pay much less from month to month. Everyone has a budget within which they work. Make sure that you keep yours in mind.

Obviously, the great demand for the smart phone is due to the sleeker, more exciting features. This type of cellular does so much more than just making phone calls and texting. The smart phone user not only can access the Internet on a regular basis, but also download games and other applications as well as send and receive emails and create, edit and send documents.

The physical appearance of models vary across the board. Most smart phones have touch tone screens these days. There are also some flip phones still on the market. Usually these are basic models.

Another feature to consider is whether or not there is a qwerty keyboard. This is a keyboard that mimics an actual keyboard screen. Decide how important this is to you and your phone usage experience. Some people like them, some can't live without them. Other people don't like them at all.

Shop the reviews. There are mobile phone reviews all over the Internet. Also, you may want to pick up some consumer magazines that feature phone reviews. As always, word of mouth might be your best bet when it comes to assessing particular models. Find out what your friends use, and how they like their choices.

When you purchase cell phones it is one of the largest purchases of your entire year. It is likely that you will not purchase another cell phone for a year. Be sure that your model has all of the features that are important to you as an end user.
