The iPhone has been a revolution in smart phone technology and apart from a few dedicated detractors everyone wants one. The problem is that when you're shopping for a new cell phone and a smart phone in particular the iPhone is still an expensive option. If you do want to buy a new iPhone you want to be able to make sure you have some of your hard earned money available to pay for your internet access and to upload the best apps. So how do you find the best iPhone deals? Easy. Shop online.
If you want a simple place to start searching online try eBay and Amazon. These to megasites have been making consumer electronics available online for dirt cheap prices for years and they sell millions of iPhones each year. In fact, it's not actually eBay and Amazon that sell the cheap iPhones. It's everyday people operating out of their basements. These people make deals with wholesalers and sell well below retail prices. And if eBay and Amazon aren't your thing there are other alternatives.
If you want to stick with the big name consumer electronics stores then you'll find they all have online shopping stores. The problem is, because of their huge overheads they are still going to charge you close to retail price. They just can't cut their prices down. On the other hand the little folk on auction sites have nil overhead and this is why they sell for just a few dollars over wholesale.
My personal pick for buying an iPhone online is eBay. I used to sell on eBay so I have some faith in the system. I know that many people make their living on the basis of their feedback score and so they will do everything they can to please you. Plus, the feedback score is your first place to look to get trust. If someone has sold 100 iPhones with no difficulty you can be pretty certain you're going to have no problems either. Also, if you buy with PayPal on eBay you get $10,000 of insurance on each purchase.
Trust is everything online. eBay and Amazon both have great feedback systems and dodgy sellers soon disappear while the ones that provide good service thrive. It's not hard to spot these people. They have massive positive feedback scores and raving review comments.
Buying online can save you hundreds of dollars and you can do it all from the convenience of your home. Be careful to examine feedback so you know if you can trust your seller. In many cases you can easily save 50% or more on retail prices. More than enough money to get some great apps and a stylish case or two for your new baby.
