It doesn't cost anything for them either. Would you like a nice new mobile phone? Then go ahead.

Extra tip

A new phone does not always have to cost what you pay for it. Do you still have a telephone or old telephone accessories that become redundant when purchasing a new telephone? In that case, you can sell these via ebay, social media, etc. You will be surprised how quickly you get some money for your old stuff. If you sold your old phone, case and charger for 75 dollars, you can deduct this from the price of your new phone.

Example: If a new phone costs 400 dollars and you can sell the current device+chargers and accessories for 75 dollars, the cost price of your new device is only 400 - 75 dollars = 325 dollars!

Conclusion

In short, if there is a nice phone available for a good price and you can still get some for your old phone, why not get a new one. Check the offers regularly and use this article to make a better choice. Good luck with your new phone purchase.
