Online Comparison Shopping Pioneer Provides One-Stop Shop For Easy Comparison of The Best Cell Plans, Phones and Accessories From a Variety of Online Sellers PriceGrabber.com, a leader in online comparison shopping announces the launch of the Cell Phones, Plans & Accessories Channel. This new service will allow shoppers to easily find and compare cell phones, and plans from multiple carriers and different resellers based on their preferences for monthly minutes, monthly cost and/or available phones. PriceGrabber's latest comparison shopping service gives the shopper the ability to compare options by selecting their desired criteria. Based on their order of preferences, consumers may start from a particular phone, a set of phone features, a specific carrier, or a plan with a certain number of minutes. Consumers can easily navigate the selections and follow a step-by-step process to shop and compare phones, carriers, the different monthly plans available, and price. For instance, a shopper can first select a price range for monthly service, and then compare a list of carriers and their availability at that price. Next, the shopper can specify selections including national or local coverage, select from a range of plan minutes, and further pare down the list and examine the cell phone options from each carrier. As with all PriceGrabber product and service channels, clearly categorized results assist in presenting a complete set of cell phone, accessory and plan options. "Our new service for comparing cell phones, plans and accessories is a very innovative way to allow consumers to easily evaluate their options when shopping for cell phones and plans," said PriceGrabber President and CEO Kamran Pourzanjani. "In such a competitive and fast moving sector, the ability to find information on cell phone hardware, plans, and prices all aggregated in one convenient location is invaluable. Consumers can perform a host of enquiries on our new service, such as learning about exciting new phones, comparing in an easy side-by-side format many aspects of their carrier and rate plan options, reading reviews from other consumers, and checking pricing and special offers from a number of merchants. This service truly simplifies the overall cell phone shopping experience for consumers."
