contract for a specified term with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dudamobile.com\">mobile website<\/a> provider, usually one or two years, but the giant Internet retailer Amazon has taken this idea to an extreme with their new &#8220;Penny Pincher&#8221; cell phone sale.&nbsp; As the sale name would suggest, phones are available for a single cent during this event, which has already begun and is slated to last through November 28.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The phones available include models from several companies including Motorola.&nbsp; Cell phone customers who wish to purchase service from AT&amp;T, Sprint, and Verizon are in luck, though the one-cent deals only apply to new, not existing customers.&nbsp; Some types of phones are not included in the sale at all, such as models designed to work with T-Mobile service or the Apple iPhone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>To illustrate how big the savings can get during this event, consider the Droid Razr from Motorola, a highly popular cell phone for use with the Verizon mobile phone network.&nbsp; Customers who buy this phone from Verizon can expect to pay almost $300 when they sign up for a two year contract obligation.&nbsp; The same two year contract applies when the phone is purchased through Amazon, but there, the phone costs only one cent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>If you need a new phone, the deals are too good to pass up.&nbsp; Be certain, however, that you look for a cell phone recycling center once you have your new unit in hand.&nbsp; Responsible cell phone use means making sure your old phone doesn&#8217;t end up in a landfill where it can cause pollution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smartphones are often offered at discounted prices for customers
