Once you have decided on the SIM -free smartphone you want to buy, the next is the purchase of the terminal and the line contract.The smartphone of a major carrier is basically a set of terminal purchases and line contracts, but in the case of SIM -free smartphones, you can buy only the terminal.There are several ways to purchase, so let's buy each advantage and disadvantages.

◎ Compare and examine on the web and check the actual machine at the store

　When purchasing a SIM -free smartphone, there are two options, whether to buy it on the web or buy it at a real store.When buying on the web, it is basically a credit card payment, and many EC sites are paid at once.Some MVNO sites support installment payments, but they are expensive than collective payments because they are charged.However, in the case of the web, it is easy to examine the lowest price and compare it with models from other manufacturers.On the other hand, at home electronics retailers and MVNO real stores, you can purchase while checking the actual machine and checking the usability and feel.The payment method also supports various methods, from cash to credit card and electronic money.It is difficult to judge only by photos and spec data on the web, so it is recommended that you put on the web on the web, check it on the actual machine and purchase it.

　If you want to buy a new one cheaply, consider buying it with a MVNO line contract and a set.MVNO discounts the terminal based on the line contract, and it may be 10,000 yen to 20,000 yen cheaper than the price provided by the terminal manufacturer.The combination of the line and the terminal, the size of the SIM is not wrong, so it is safe.

　If you are not particular about the new or the latest model, let's take a look at a used shop.Recently, there are many shops that provide warranty services, and it also supports repair costs in the event of a failure and replacement of terminals that can no longer be used due to network use restrictions.Understand the advantages and disadvantages of each purchase method, and do not regret shopping.
