A few of you mentioned something to me about that sponsored review I posted the other day. Here’s the scoop:
I found this site ReviewMe.com a while back and decided to give it a try. Basically I submitted my blog, and advertisers can choose me to write something about their product or service. It’s kind of a clever idea, and it’s pretty easy money, so I thought I’d try it out.
The first review went pretty well, but I think the next time I’ll try something a little more clever. I think that if I put them in limerick form, they’ll not seem so spammy on the blog, and maybe they’ll be a little more fun to read. We’ll see.
When it’s time to write a new review,
I will write a limerick for you
Whenever you see
a rhyme come from me,
Just ignore the post if you want to.
This is a sponsored review.
It seems that everywhere you look, there’s a reseller of wireless providers popping up around town. They’re everywhere. These aren’t the actual cell phone companies opening offices, but rather small businesses that have reseller agreements with the major cell carriers. I have always liked the idea of not dealing with the big cellular company, but sometimes you wonder if the small business will be around the next time you need them. Wirefly.com, who has been around for several years, solves that dilemma.
One of the things about the Wirefly.com web site that really stands out is the ability to compare plans. For example, you enter your zip code, and you see a list of providers in your area. Then you can narrow your search by choosing the providers you’d like to consider. Then you see plans from those providers, and you have the ability to compare the little details about each one.
The only down side to dealing with an internet company for a cell phone is that you have to wait for the phone to come to you. They ship their phones by FedEx, so your wait would be minimal, but there’s still a little wait. They answer this negative point (and any other issues) with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
I have not bought my own cell phone in about seven years (it’s one of the nice things about having an IT job), so I can’t speak about Wirefly from personal experience. They’ve got some good customer reviews posted on their site, and they’ve got a 99+% feedback rating at ebay, so if you are in the market for a phone, they may be worth considering.
