What type of minimum commitment will you have to make when you purchase the cell phones at a reduced price? Some cellular service providers will offer free phones or very reduced priced phones to new customers. However, you need to be aware that they will often lock you into a contract with them as your service provider for one or two years. Leaving the service provider before the specified time can cost you an arm and a leg in penalties and early disconnection fees.
