Verizon Cellular Phones Broadband Options

By Rhonda Benjamin


Cheap Verizon phones are available online for you to compare. There are three ways to get a cheap Verizon cellular phone. One is by getting a cell phone with a contract. Next is getting a basic cheap phone. And lastly getting a slightly used phone. Each of the options has its benefits.

One way that you can get a cheap Verizon phone is by signing a twelve or twenty four month contract. It is one of the most popular options and you get a great mobile for free. The downside is that if you decide to cancel your service, your credit is not that good or you want to change to a different provider. In that case you would not be able to cancel your service unless you pay a penalty, which is around $200. If your credit is not that great then Verizon might also require you to pay a deposit and that can get pricey also.

The LG Octane is a top choice for heave text message users. This phone is also a popular Verizon phone, and is great for you if you really want a good physical keyboard for typing text messages, emails and browsing the Internet. The phone is a bit more bulky, and a major negative is the quality of voice when making phone calls. However, the big driver for this phone's popularity is its capability for typing and text messaging.

Three popular choices are: Motorola Droid X, Samsung Fascinate, and Palm Pre Plus. The other mobile hotspot capable phones vary in what Verizon charges for the hotspot feature. Most mobile broadband plans have a monthly data limit of 5 gigabytes or less and have heavy overage charges. If you do a lot of heavy downloading, you should monitor your Internet usage closely.

Even if your smartphone doesn't have mobile hotspot capabilities, it can still be tethered via a USB cable to your laptop or netbook to provide 3G Internet access. If you're in the market for a new smartphone or have had your existing phone plan for a couple of years or more, you may be able to get one of the newest 3G Internet provider smart phones for next to nothing. Verizon and most other cellular Internet providers offer huge discounts and rebates when you sign a new contract.
