All can be a tad difficult or confusing with all of the technology changes.
There are basically two types of cell phones. Regular (telephone) cell phones and smart phones. Smart phones are little computers now.
There are three formats or operating systems for smart phones. Apple, Android, and Windows (Microsoft). And then there are versions of each format or operating system - constantly making newer versions.
Terms such as Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean can confusing.
And then there is 3G and 4G. Towers.
One really has to do some consumer research before committing to a 2 year contract. And even with the pay as you go phones.
I read a neighbors bill one time and noticed that they were paying for 4GB data and only using less then 1GB per month. Paying extra for something not needed or used.
Many/some over buy and get too much phone. Features that will never be used. But paid for.
Few have discovered the discounts that one can obtain from the carriers. And these discounts may not provided by most/all of the outlets or franchise stores.
