I'm in the market for a cellular phone (a transportable) and am
interested in purchasing one via mail order. I am hoping that this
will reduce my costs and allow me to choose my own carrier. However,
local electronics stores are offering "fantastic" prices (the catch
being that you are required to sign up for a given length of time with
a cellular phone company), so I'm not sure that going mail order will
be any cheaper. Please send recommendations for mail order companies
to me and I will summarize to the Digest. Thanks.
