Basic Information: 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.

Mobile or cellular phones are devices that are capable of making and receiving telephone calls. They do this using a radio link that covers a huge geographic area. The mobile phone operators allow devices to connect to a public telephone network by way of the cellular network. In modern times, many of these devices do more than send and receive calls. They can also access email, the Internet, Bluetooth, gaming, photography, applications and text messaging. Often these advanced devices are called smartphones.

There are both basic and smartphones to choose from. These units are not made by Verizon, but come from several different companies, such as Motorola, Casio, Pantech, Samsung and LG. Advanced devices and other electronic devices sold may be produced by brands such as Sony Ericsson, Windows, Palm, Compaq, Apple, HTC, HP, and Android.

These devices can be purchased with our without a service contract from the network. It is encouraged that they are bought with a contract, as that lessens the price of the device. Without a contract, general retail price is expected, which typically ranges from $100 up to $900, depending on the device. With a service contract, the price is significantly reduced, some units selling for free.

Certified pre-owned devices are also an option. These units have been inspected and reconditioned. All pre-owned devices are checked thoroughly to guarantee they meet like-new conditions. Typically these phones are less expensive than brand new ones and if manufacturing defects occur before the first year, they will replace the phone.

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.
