Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • paper and pen
  • yourself :)

Step1
when you walk in to a wireless store make sure to tell the guy that you were shopping around in the area and remember the salesperson wants to sell you whats in stock , remember that they wanna close the deal rite there and then, so make sure that you go to a store that has all the dummy phones in stock (dummy phones are the ones that are only for display) and start looking at the phones ,they usually keep 25 dummy phones
Step2
skip the ones that has no cameras ,no speakers ,no bluetooth , you might be saying well i dont want a camera or any other new stuff, well if theres no camera no blue tooth no speaker on the phone might as well buy a crap from a jokeshop instead, those phones are way outdated they wanna sell it to you because they are soo cheap so their profit will be alot more on the deal, so skip the ice age
Step3
the camera speaker bluetooh phone should be free , if not regularly it should be free by mail in rebate, i always fill up the rebate forms my self so ask him if he can fill up the rebate forms for you ,tell him if he can help you out because you have never recieved your rebates before ,he will gladly do it for you because he wants to earn your confidence.
Step4
cheapest plans start at 40 a month then it goes up from there the greater the amount a month the greater their commission would be so always remember ,for example if you are getting like 80 dollars a month plan .they are getting $400 they could still sell you a cheap phone and make outrageous money so tell them if the phone was like 100 after the mail in rebate ask them you want it for free ,they will gladly give it to you because they will still make the same amount of money they are going to make,
Step5
since you told them earlier that you were shopping around tell them the other wireless shop in the area is offering 2 free accessory ,accessories cost them $1 to $4 so they will give you those (they are usually car chargers leather cases or earpieces) the bluetooths are little expensive but again since you are giving them the activation you can ask them a fair discount on the blue tooth dont pay more then 40$
Step6
before you leave ask a basic demonstration for the phone like how to use the voicemail feature , camera or menus and text messages ,ask the what is their return policy , and always get a insurance on your phone it might be $5 a month added to your plan or so but you will never regret it.take the carriers customer care number and say bye
Step7
* once you recieve your stuff and leave the store call up customer care and tell them about your old carrier and tell them how they screwed you on your bill and stuff and tell them how you had to pay 185 $ for cancelling your contract and stuff and ask them to wave the activation fee because you like cingular already , customer care would love to hear nice comments and do their best to serve you since they are hearing problems all day long , they will happily wave the activation fees
Step8
once you start hating your new carrier and you are still in your contract period,make sure you have one more adress available where you can recieve mail ,( your friends , parents house ,work etc )tell them that you moved to a new location and tell them that there is a army airforce field near by .and you have no reception what so ever, give your spouse s adress they will be convinced because you are changin your adress and they will never check if there was any airfield around , this could save $185 per line

Tips & Warnings

  • when you are upgrading or downgrading your plan ,make sure they wont extend your contract for two more years
  • when you receive overages for the first time ,for example if you went over your minutes call customer care and ask for a deal nicely , tell them you wanna upgrade your plan to the next one up . and get your credit ,hang up -- call them back and downgrade again to the same plan ,credit was issued to the account they never take notes on credits only on frauds and stuff
  • always put a password on your account so nobody else can reach it
  • enjoy your phone and ask me all the questions in mind
