Black Friday brings discounts on older models as well as the latest technology, and many retailers have sweet trade-in deals. Remember that Cyber Monday could bring equally impressive cell phone deals.

If you’re more inclined towards the budget end of cell phones, you can get three months of service for free by switching to Mint Mobile. You just need to buy a three-month plan.
Be sure to research any cell phone carriers and phones before buying. While plenty of Black Friday cell phone deals are worth it, you want to get the right device for you (or a loved one). Your purchase decision shouldn't be based solely on the sale price.
