new cellphone??

February 22nd, 2008 at 04:54 am

my old one is working fine...but, I saw this cellphone a while back that I liked, but, dismissed instantly because of price ($89!- ha! no way!)...well, now it's on sale for $39....plus, there's a new alliance between cc2 and the phone company (the same one I'm currently using) so you can use points to redeem a certificate...I have enough points to buy a $25 certificate, so that would mean paying only $14 for it... and there would still be points "left over"...but, then I discovered that I could convert the reward points from the dept store card into points for CC2 company...which would give me enough to buy a $50, which means I could buy the phone plus $11 in phone cards (I go prepay!- I don't think I'll go for contract again!...who knows, they have new contracts now, where you choose your minutes and, once those are over, you cannot make any more phone calls unless you use phone cards...which would be a good way to have a contract and still have some control...right now, it's not worth it...maybe if I went with the freelance translator gig it would...)

anyway....I'm thinking about it...

    Personally, I wouldn't do it, but that's just me. No matter how you juggle points and discounts, you are still paying for a new phone that you don't need. Those reward points have value and could be used for something else later.

    I wouldn't replace a perfectly good phone unless they had a free-after-rebate offer.

    thanks! I needed that!....I'll probably use those points at the cellphone company anyway, but just to purchase $25 in phone cards- which should last about 3-4 months!

    That sounds like a much better plan to me.
