Before you pick up the cell phone of your dreams, you should zero in on a wireless service provider, and select a tariff plan that suits your wallet. The cell phone that you propose to buy should be compatible with any of the two popular mobile phone standards provided by wireless carriers: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). If you are a frequent traveler, you should stick with GSM mobile operators like Cingular and T-Mobile. Otherwise, CDMA carriers like Sprint and Verizon will suit you just fine.
