Wirefly Mobile Review
9 January 2007Before I begin, this post is a sponsored post. I am a member of Review Me, a program that advertisers use to raise awareness of their websites. I am required to acknowledge that this is a sponsored post, but I will give an honest review. I.E. I am not required to give a positive review, if I don’t feel the site deserves it. If I was, I wouldn’t be doing this post. Ok, on to business.
Wirefly.com ( or Wirefly mobile ) is a website that sells cell phones. The hook is that nearly all of their cell phone offerings are free. Often there is a rebate involved to get the phone for free, and in every case there is a contract required. Look for two years, so make sure you choose your phone wisely.
Notice how I said most phones are free – key word being most. Some phones, very notably the Treo line, will cost you. Wirefly does offer a significant discount to help ease the pain of the high cost, but you will not get away from. Current prices on either of the Sprint Treo 700 models is $250 after rebates.
As long as you watch out for the final price of the phone, you should be ok. There is a quite a nice selection of FAR ( free after rebate ) phones available, so everyone should be able to find something they like. Wirefly even has accessories and ringtones, if that is your thing.
So, would I use Wirefly? Well, probably not. I’m perpetually in a contract with Sprint, and I doubt that will ever end. Sprint has been good to me, and I don’t plan on taking my business elsewhere. But for someone who needs a new line of service, Wirefly offers a great selection of products; and the price is certainly right.
