No contract cell phones can be a useful purchase, as they allow one to obtain a cellular phone without being required to keep a certain service for a long period of time. In the United States, there are a few ways to obtain a cell phone without contract. One is to purchase the device unlocked, and then go to a provider and sign up for a month-to-month service. T-Mobile, a GSM provider, has given a separate option, in that a user is never constrained to a service contract in their plans.


How can someone tell if a cell phone is being tapped?

There usually will not be obvious signs of a trace. If your phone is warm when it shouldn't be, or has dramatically decreased battery life with no increase in usage, it might be bugged. Also, if you have a GSM phone, and your phone causes speakers (e.g. from a stereo or computer) to buzz when you are not on a call, then it might be tapped. Of course, there are other reasons that could cause any of the above situations.

The term GSM stands for "Global System for Mobile Communications." This is perceived as the world's most widely used cell phone technology. Specifically, a GSM cell phone offers the advantage of using SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards in the United States.

This allows for easy exchange from one phone to another without new cell phone service activation.
