Officially now, I’m on the hunt for cell phones for both me and my husband. We have been putting off this purchase forever, and my sister has taken the matter in her hands by presenting us a gift card as one of her and her family’s presents to us for the holiday. She has gone to the point of saying: “can’t you not afford to buy new units?” because whenever she tries to contact me when I’m out of the house, my cell phone is always off. Obviously, she is irked whenever this happens.

Thus, with the gift card that she gave us, each of us can get awesome cell phones. I’ve been mulling over the idea of getting an unlocked phone so that each of us can use our cell phones with various GSM-compatible carriers worldwide. It will be great whenever we travel. This coming year, who knows where our feet will take us again. Apart from that, I learned that with unlocked phones it is compatible with almost any of the service providers for as long as the phone supports the frequencies of each of the providers.

I hope to find the best cell phone that our gift card can buy, identical units would be fine. In a few days, we will soon have  spanking new cell phones, and needless to say, my sister will be one happy caller, as she will no longer just get my voice mail.
