Nowadays everybody has a mobile phone (or cell phone in the US).
There are so many models to choose from it’s mind boggling. There are so many functions included now that they are in danger of losing their primary function. That of making calls.
Also there are numerous model updates. No sooner have you bought your mobile than it is superseded by a newer model. And, of course you must have it as soon as it comes on the market.
That brings another problem to the surface. The contract. Usually these mobiles are so expensive that the only way to get one is to take out a contract. These can be 12 or 18 month contracts, or even longer.
This can make a mobile very expensive, indeed sometimes with a cost of 4 or 5 times the original price of the mobile. Of course when the new model comes out you are stuck in your contract. |However you can buy yourself out of the contract but again that will cost a lot of money.
You’ll also end up with a drawer full of mobiles if you don’t recycle your old mobile. You can give it away or sell it on an online auction, and try and recoup some of your money.
