Basic Cell Phone Choices


Each phone purchase price includes a car charger, leather case, and extra battery

All phones are state-of-the-art digital phones, dual-mode or tri-mode.  All prices are for one year contracts, not two year.

  • A Tri-mode phone operates on two digital networks (1900 MHz and 800 MHz) and analog networks. The trend is toward all dual-mode phones as towers are upgraded to digital signals.
  • A dual-mode phone only works in digital areas, sometimes excluding certain rural areas.

All phones have the vibrating ring option and a lithium-ion battery.

Each phone purchase includes a car charger, leather case, and a hands-free headset.

There is a one-time $10 charge for a new activation or upgrade.
