Mobile blogging? How to find iPhone discounts and buy an iPhone

Morning!

If there’s one thing I adore, it’s ~~discovering my kids sprouted auto-cleaning filters that immediately shine up the house~~ saving money. Money - it’s a Good Thing!

That’s why I researched how to find iPhone discounts online. My service contract is up this month, and those spiffy iPhones are looking ‘mighty seductive to me!

So far, here are the results of my investigations.

1.) eBay iPhones!

eBay has many sellers who offer new, in the box (NIB) merchandise including iPhones. For example, check out:

PINK FOR APPLE IPHONE NEW LEATHER CASE COVER SKIN CLIP

NEW USB Car Charger Adapter For Apple iPhone 3G 8 16GB

AV Video USB Cable for Apple iPod iPhone Touch Nano NEW

Need some help regarding buying and selling on eBay? I built Thinking About Auctions awhile back - the information is still quite current! You’ll learn how to buy, how to check out seller’s reputations and more.

Next, consider:

2.) Refurbished iPhones

Did you know that at times, Apple offers refurbished iPhones at a discount? You can see their listings here (mighty sparse today, alas). You can also visit their official Apple stores , visit an AT&T store, or buy online.

3.) Craigslist

Craigslist is always an interesting place to locate gadgets. Visit http://www.craigslist.org, browse to your state and location, and then search for "iphone" (here’s the result for NJ). If you’d like tips about Craigslist, consider:

4.) Freecycle

Granted, while the chances of finding a free iPhone on Freecycle is pretty slim, who knows? Freecycle has 100s of targeted neighborhood groups in which you can post WANTED and OFFERS items.

Now, let’s say that you already have a cell phone contract and want to break it. Did you know there are services out there that help with this worthy endeavor? Visit:

I also found a doozy of an article at Ready for an IPhone? Tips to End Your Existing Cell Contract - to wit:

…You’ve got a serious case of iPhone fever. The one big problem? You?re locked into a two-year contract with another carrier.

How do you jump ship without getting reamed with an early termination fee? Time to conjure up your inner Houdini and perform some clever escape tricks.

Check out our eight easy, tried-and-true tips for ditching the shackles of that nasty contract ? so you can jump headfirst into another one…..MORE….

I’m still in major research mode, but will happily write up my findings as soon as I, well, find them.

ThankYouVeryMuch!
