Over time, you may have noticed phones are becoming more complex.  Most every Sprint phone now and many Nextel phones come with Bluetooth capability - even at low prices.  But others include camera, TV, navigation, web browsing, and perhaps even email and more.  Cellular phones are quickly becoming as complex as computers.  Yet, if one buys them on line or from some big box stores, all they get is the phone and a hand wave of good luck.

At About Wireless, we help people get started with their phones.  We can show you the important features, we can usually move your phone contacts from your old phone to the new one.  And if you want, we can even help you with TV, navigation or email set ups.

Much too often people come to us with phones from other places - where the sales person just slid the phone over the counter.  Sometimes the phones were not even set up to do basic phone calls, some blackberries were never provisioned to get internet, and many stores cannot or will not transfer old phone numbers.  And there are some things that we find no one seems to know but us - such as how the new Palm Pre works with Google.

Some people may be highly technical and might survive by reading the booksand taking hours to do so.  But even with those people, what is your time worth?  At about wireless we cumulatively have over 40 years of cellular experience and are closer to 50 years at this time.  We believe we can save you frustration with these high tech products, and also help you to get your money's worth out of this new generation of communications power.

And also be careful of being penny wise but dollar foolish.  Phone prices are a one time thing every few years, but monthly charges can be much more money.  You also may want to be sure that you are getting set up on the right plan.  Too often we see customers who say they saved $5 on a phone, but yet are paying $50 or more too much each month.  A secret of the cell phone industry is that companies greatly reduce phone prices to get you to sign up.  So cell phone companies think phones are expendable but the real money is in the service.  We suggest you be smart and worry about the BIG STUFF where so many people get hurt.  We believe at About Wireless, we can help you with that.
