The Facts: Verizon Cellular Phones

By Todd Brandley


Verizon Wireless is a mobile network operator run out of New Jersey in the United States. It was founded in 2000. The company sells numerous Verizon cellular phones that range in function, price and size and are to be used on mobile networks.

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.

Products can be purchased with an optional service contract. Though it is is not mandatory, it is often recommended because it lowers the price of the phone. For example, without a contract a phone will sell at a general retail price that can be as high as $900 or as low as $100. With a contract, this price is hundreds of dollars cheaper and may even be free, depending on the device model.

Verizon also sells certified pre-owned devices. These have gone through inspection, been reconditioned and pass an extensive checklist to ensure that they are in like-new condition. Pre-owned units are less expensive. If they there are manufacturing defects within the first year of ownership, they will replace the unit with a comparable device.

Phones and other devices can also be traded in for a value that can be used towards a new device. It is recommended that new devices be purchased with equipment coverage or insurance. This keeps the owner from having to pay extra fees, if the phone malfunctions, is lost or stolen after the warranty period.

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.
