Things To Know About Verizon Cellular Phones

By Todd Brandley


A well-known mobile network operator in the States is Verizon Wireless. The company, which has headquarters on the east coast, has been around since 2000. Verizon cellular phones come in many sizes and prices, with various features.

Cellular or mobile phones are electronic devices that can make and receive telephone calls. These units use a radio link through a connection to a cell network, provided by mobile phone operators, allowing public telephone network access. This makes it possible for these electronics to be used when moving over large areas. Cellulars now offer more than telephone calls, they can also access the Internet, email, text messaging, applications, gaming, Bluetooth and photography. Devices with these additional features are known as smartphones.

The company sells a variety of basic and smartphones. These are not manufactured by them but different brands, including Casio, LG, Samsung, Motorola and Pantech. They also sell more advanced units and products by brands such as HP, HTC, Compaq, Apple, Sony Ericsson, Android, Windows and Palm.

These units can be bought with or without a contract from the network. Generally, it is recommended that customers sign a service contract because this reduces the cost of the phone. Individuals who purchase a phone without a new contract or extension of their current contract are subject to phone retail price, which can range from as low as $100 to as high as $900. Signing or extending a contract will greatly reduce the selling price.

Verizon also sells certified pre-owned devices. These have gone through inspection, been reconditioned and pass an extensive checklist to ensure that they are in like-new condition. Pre-owned units are less expensive. If they there are manufacturing defects within the first year of ownership, they will replace the unit with a comparable device.

The company offers a trade-in program. This allows customers to turn in their old devices for credit that can be applied towards new phone or device purchases. If buying new units, it is recommended that some type of insurance coverage is also purchased. This is beneficial if devices are stolen, lost or broken after the warranty runs out.

Consider the Verizon company when you are searching for the perfect cell phone. They can be bought as pre-owned, new, with or without insurance, and with or without a service contract.
