Usually, you should keep a cell phone for around three to four years. Some of the new, high-tech cell phones do not last as long as the older ones. Depending on how old your cell phone is, you should either keep it for 2-4 years (newer ones) or 3-5 years (older ones). If your cell phone is having glitches, is not receiving proper texts or other messages, or any other problems like this, you should most definitely take it in to get fixed (but almost all problems like this are unfixable) or get a new phone.

So, for the most part, you will know when to get a new cell phone by what problems it is having, if any at all.

There are really only two reasons to replace a cell phone. First, if it no longer works, no longer meets your needs or if you want a better model. The other reason to replace one is if you can get a better plan by doing so.
