According to the most recent statics, 1 out of every 5 wireless devices in the US may be stolen or accidentally damaged this year. Should I buy insurance for my cell phone? Well, it depends on the equipment and how extensively you will be using your phone. The cost of cell phone insurance is not cheap, especially for advanced devices like Blackberry smartphones. For a regular phone like flip phone or candy bar phone, Verizon Wireless charges $5.99 a month and you would have to pay $39 deductible with each approved claim.

Let’s say you bought a LG Accolade for $69.99 with a 2-year contract and start paying $5.99 cell phone insurance. At the end of 12th month, your phone is broken. At that point you have already paid $71.88. Then you call up the cell phone insurance company and verify that phone is covered. Now you have to pay $39 to get a replacement phone (same or of equivalent value) shipped to you. One thing to keep in mind is that in most cases they will send you a refurbished phone. So you end up paying $110.88. A brand new LG Accolade costs $199 without contract (12 months ago). Is it worth buying insurance for a new phone? No, at this time, you can definitely purchase the same mobile phone from eBay for $100. In the next post, we will talk about the insurance for smartphones.

Do you know that you can keep the same cell phone number when switching carriers? It’s very easy to do, especially online. Here are some steps and tips on how to switch carriers and keep phone number.

When placing a new phone order online, you sure you click on the box that says “switch my old cell phone number to my new phone and plan”. The wording might be different depending on online authorized retailer’s storefront setting. When you receive you phone, it may take up to 24 hours to complete the phone number transfer. In most cases, your mobile number has already been ported to the new cell phone by the time you receive it. And as soon as the old cell phone has been transferred to the new phone you should contact your old service provider to cancel service. That’s all you need to know on how to switch carriers and keep the same phone number.

For anyone who are currently owning or planning to own a Verizon cell phone, here are some tips on how to save money on Verizon wireless.

First, when you sign up for a new Verizon plan, don’t feel pushed by the salesperson to add features like Mobile TV and unlimited text messaging that you don’t use often. If you do decide to use them simply sign up on a later date.

Second, never sign up for individual plan for each phone. The very basic individual plan costs $39.99. So 2 phones can cost you $80 or more. On the other hand, signing up a family plan can really save money on Verizon Wireless bill. Starting at $69.99 for 2 phones, any additional will only cost $9.99 more.

One last tip – buy Verizon phones with instant rebates. There are just too much hassles involved when it comes to mail-in rebates. Instead of waiting months and then find out you are not qualified because of missed the deadline or missing required documents, you can get the savings right away from authorized online dealers.

Good luck!

Do I need to sign a new contract to add a line Verizon Wireless or other carriers? No, you don’t have to extend your current contract or sign a new one in order to add a line to existing family plan.

So, now that you know Add-A-Line does not require a new contract at all and every new additional line is eligible for steep discount regardless how many existing lines you have, it’s time to get a new phone.
