It is amazing how the mobile (or cell) phone markets vary in different parts of the world. It is one of those things where South East Asia is far advanced than most of the Western world. Here in the UK, there is buzz around having to use your mobile phone to make payments to little things like a cup of coffee. In Manila, for example, cellular networks already offer mobile banking. The US, however, seems to be moving at a slower pace than the rest. I think it was only in recent years that SMS has been widely used in that part of the world.

About over a week ago, I got myself a new mobile phone. I kept my number but I transferred from one provider to another. And the handset? FREE. I am still going to pay £35 a month but I am getting 100% more talk minutes, from 250 to 500. And the phone? The all new and spanking Sony Ericsson W880i. Good deal, huh?

For people in the US, this may be a nearly new concept. I mean, getting a free phone when you sign up for a new contract. Wirefly is offering customers free cell phones when signing a new contract. And according to them: ‘These phones don’t suck!’ A lot of providers have actually enticed people on this free phone offers only to find out that the handsets that are included are of the older models. Well, Wirefly guarantees super hot phones including Blackberry Pearls and Motorola RAZRs on popular networks like Cingular, Sprint or AT&T. Delivery is via FedEx (2-day) and in some models, you even get rebate! What’s more, you can get a second phone for free with shared/family plans! Great deal indeed. Now the concept of shared plans is something that is new here in the UK. Vodafone has introduced something similar whereby you can talk unlimited within your circle of “family”.

So, for you folks in the US, why not get a “new look”? Head over to Wirefly now.
