Cell Phones for College Students

College students can now save money on the newest cellphones including the new LG Chocolate Cellphone. On this web site, I give you recommendations for finding the cheapest cell phone prices anywhere. The first tip you need to know is the various monthly rate plans from Alltel, Cingular, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon will cost the same amount no matter where you purchase the service. However, the prices for the phone equipment will vary widely from store to store. College students should buy new cellular service from an online store rather than a local retail store. The online stores offer much lower prices on the phone equipment and will include extra accessories for free. I've searched for the lowest prices on cellphones for college students from the major carriers and listed them here on this page.

Here's another tip. The major carriers Alltel, Cingular, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon require you to have a very good credit history before qualifying you for a cellular plan. As a college student, you may have problems qualifying for a cellular plan. If you don't have the best credit rating, they will ask you to put down a very large deposit or refuse you service altogether. I recommend college students who haven't established a good credit history first try a prepaid cellular plan with Cingular GoPhone, Virgin Mobile, T-Mobile To Go, or TracFone who cater to college students by not requiring a credit check at all. If you need to establish credit, you should apply for a credit card through Free Card Matrix who will help you get a student credit card and earn some extra money while doing it.
