My mother and I have been battling over my cell phone for some time. You see while I have been away at school my parents have been footing the bill for my phone. At first I thought how nice they were to help me by taking on this expense, but since my mother has taken over paying the bill she is constantly griping that the phone bill is over the top, she keeps telling me that I need to switch carriers and I don't really want to do that because she wants me to use a Trac phone or something like that, and I told her that they just don't offer very nice phones and that I love my cell phone.

Well honestly after months of doing this we finally agreed that I would try getting a Sim Free Mobile Phone and it is a Samsung Soul. It is by far one of the best phones I have ever used in the fact that the touch screen is not temperamental like so many other touch screen phones and I like the way that the icons change around so they suit all different apps. Now if you don't understand Sim Free Mobile, basically you buy a phone which costs you less because they don't charge you for the Sim Card and then you purchase the Sim Card for the network that you want to use. This means that you can get a really good phone and an affordable cell plan or pay as you go. No matter which you choose, it won't matter as long as you have a card in it for that network. Change your mind and you can switch out the Sim card and replace it with that of any other network allowing you to keep your phone and switch the network and not only is a great when plans get too expensive but it also means less phones being tossed and that means they are better for the environment.

Now mom and I don't have to argue about my phone anymore. And if she wants to switch the plan I can still keep my same phone and that is just what we both needed.
