Students need a new handset whilst you are in Melbourne? You may already have one, but it may be time for an upgrade. We give you the lowdown on two types of options and some tips in buying that handset.
1) Prepaid- that way you'll know how much you have spent. But you have to pay for the phone outright. And in some cases it is about $400-$1000
2) Postpaid
It is on a plan and you pay a certain cost for the handset. You'd usually get the handset for $0 when you sign up but you pay by the month with a lock in contract.
Choosing a handset
You can have a look at the Choice site to see what others say about their handsets.
Most students go for Nokia as it is more reliable and less likely to break.
You may not want a lot of features or you may use heaps of apps and things. It all depends on you. Most phones nowadays have a camera. But you may want one with heaps of memory on it for lots of photos. You may also want one with lots of megapixels if you are going to be taking photos.
Its better to go in store and try before you buy.All stores have their phones on display so you can see their features. Most phones have a one year warranty but many stores may not let you refund if you change your mind. A warranty means that they will fix it for free within a certain period.
Which brand of handset do you recommend? Do tell us below.
