Video Script

Hi, this is Randall. Now, there are many reasons for having a cell phone this day. Uh, number one, in case of emergency. Let’s say you get a flat tire. You wouldn’t want to find yourself in that type of situation.

And second, the convenience. You can’t find pay phones very often anymore, and having a cell phone . . . just call a friend or a family member.

However, you have to be very careful about signing up for long-term contracts that might be more expensive than you think, and the company might charge you a really outrageous fee, so just be careful.
