The cell phone manufacturers are in the business of creating demand for their phones and one way they do that is to keep coming out with newer and fancier models. It seems like every time you buy a new phone, you find that a newer model is soon to be released. One thing people might do is to give their used phones to their kids whenever they buy a new one. This way they are able to get more use out of each phone and get more for their money.

Many teenagers would be happy to get a cell phone at all and not care whether it is used or new. A working phone that they can use to call and text their friend is all they need. Most cell phones have pretty much the same features and if you keep buying the newest model, you are really just playing into the hands of the manufacturers. Of course, now that the economy is so poor, more people will hold off on their habit of always buying the latest and greatest models.

Cell phones are expensive and many people are looking for phones that won't break the pocketbook. For instance, if you have the Verizon service and want to find a used phone, where can you go to get a cheap one? New models come out all the time and people keep upgrading to the latest model, which means they have lots of the older models just sitting around at home.

Anyone wanting to buy a used cell phone should make the Internet his or her first stop. Any phone can be found online and most of the time you can find them used as well. Two of the best places to find used and cheap phones online are Craigslist and Ebay. Those are the two places most people go to list their used phones and to recoup some dollars for their older and unwanted models.

If you don't care that much about the condition, it should be easy to find a phone. You need to make sure it will work with your carrier as some phones will only work with certain carriers. If you do make a mistake and buy a phone that is meant to work with another carrier, you will have to find an unlock code which will allow the phone to be used with all carriers.
