Some questions to ask yourself before you sign up for a new smartphone plan

Coverage Type: 

Here are a few tips to choose the smartphone plan that's best for you.

Figure out your priorities: how much data do you really need?

Location, location, location: Consider how the coverage is in the area you're going to be using the phone the most.

Think about commitment: If you're not the kind of person who needs to get a new phone every year, you might prefer a contract plan in order to subsidize the price of your device.

Just adding a line? For families, the options get a little more interesting, because you'll be sharing pools of data and talk time among multiple lines.

Jumping ship: Keep an eye out for deals like these, particularly if you're unhappy with your current network, to get the most out of a new plan.
