HP cell phone specials with new service

There currently are no HP cell phone specials available.


How it works?

Each day we obtain pricing information from reputable online merchants who sell cellular phones and services.  We then compile this data and post it in our Pricing Comparison Charts to make it easy for you to compare pricing and read user reviews for every authorized online dealer and online store. We only consider merchants with fair return policies and established reputations for inclusion in our comparison network.

You'll find valuable information whether you're purchasing a phone for the first time, switching carriers, looking for a replacement phone, or adding a line to an existing account.  After choosing a phone, you'll notice the tabs to compare prices in the following categories:

  1. Phone with New Plan:  Phones being offered when purchased with a contract calling plan. Sold by "authorized online dealers".  Most relevant area for first time buyers or when switching carriers.

  2. Phones with Family Plan:  2 or more phones offered when purchased with a family calling plan. Sold by "authorized online dealers".
  3. Phone Only - (2 ways to replace your phone)
    • Carrier upgrades:  You may qualify for a replacement phone at a discounted price from your carrier.  Carrier upgrades can be done directly with your carrier, or through an authorized online dealers.
    • Third party:  Replace your phone without a contract extension from various online stores and ebay.

  4. Add-a-line:  Many carriers allow users to add additional lines to an existing account, read more
  5. Pre-paid:  If you don’t qualify for a contract calling plan, or just need temporary cell service.

Benefits of using our cellular comparison?

  • Comparison Shopping - PhoneDog.com compares the prices from reputable online merchants, which allows you to find the best deals.
  • Convenience - Compare before selecting a phone, provider, and plan using our unique set of tools such as the Dealer Pricing Comparison Chart, Buyers Guide, Phone Finder, and Rate Plan Finder.

  • Questions? - Our friendly staff is available to answer your questions.  Please use our contact form here. Since we compare every available service throughout the country, we'll provide a completely unbiased answer.

Top 5 Questions (Phone with New Plan)

  • Can I keep my current number?  Keeping your current number when switching carriers is easy, read more

  • Why is the pricing lower than shopping at a local store?  Authorized online dealers can offer lower prices compared to local store dealerships since they don't have the additional overhead of operating physical stores.

  • How are the phones shipped? 2 Day FedEx or UPS shipping is provided by each authorized dealer.

  • What are the return policies?  All authorized dealers offer 15 day return policies, 30 days in California.

  • Who do I pay?/Who will bill me?  Products purchased will be fulfilled by the authorized dealer or online store you choose to purchase from.  The cellular Carrier (Cingular, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, etc...) will bill you for your monthly cellular service plan(s).

Phone with New Plan: Qualification Requirements

  1. You must be a new customer for the carrier you are choosing or adding an additional line to your existing service.  Pricing for a phone without a new service contract is available on the Phone Only tab

  2. Commit to a 1 or 2 year agreement depending on the carrier and rate plan you choose.  If you are upgrading your phone with your existing carrier, you will also need to agree to another 1 or 2 year contract.

  3. Be approved by the carrier's credit requirements.

    Nokia vs Apple: Is a 32GB iPhone 3G on tap for January?

    32GB iPhone Coming?

    The launch of Nokia's flagship, touchscreen and QWERTY N97 has already sparked the inevitable "iPhone Killer" comparisons.  Without getting all into that, it is worth mentioning that the N97 will pack a whopping 32GB of internal memory backed by a microSD card slot officially capable of supporting another 16GB of storage when the phone ships sometime in the first half of next year. Apple's iPhone 3G currently tops out at 16GB of fixed...

    Nokia launches N97

    Nokia kicked off Nokia World 2008 early this morning in Barcelona, Spain with the launch of their new flagship mobile phone, the N97.  Due in the first half of next year, the N97 is Nokia's first N-Series device with a full QWERTY board, which is combined with a sliding, tilting resistive touchscreen and 32GB of onboard memory. Looking something like a sleeker, shinier HTC Tilt, the N97 is a GSM phone with HSPA and WiFi connectivity and...

    Updates: BlackBerry Storm getting firmware updates

    BlackBerry Storm Updates

    The horribly over-hyped, gimmicky, disappointing, bug-plagued BlackBerry Storm should soon be getting its first dose of badly-needed firmware fixes, according to Greg over at MobileCrunch, and a host of other Internet reports.  I still think the Storm would be best off slimming down and losing the silly click-screen mechanism altogether, but if you're digging the SurePress action and just waiting until the lags, crashes, and other kinks get...
