I am always found of changing cell phones. But I wonder if it is worth to spend money on a new cell phone after every six months . I use to buy a second hand cell phone as I get good discount on it.

depends on your budget.. but is really good to buy a new phone cause it has warranty and stuff but if you'll buy a second hand phone from a relative still ok cause you know it came from good hands

one option is to buy a second phone because you are changing the phone frequently..but take care when you are buying it check the mobile is working properly since there is no guarantee because on of my friend bought a second hand mobile and now he was giong frequently to the companies showrooms with problems in it.. one more option is to buy brand new mobile and exchange through in the same company if the company provides the option..if you have this facility its better to buy a brand new mobile and exchange it in the show room.i am followin this only i am buying the another phone in exchanging manner and getting good discount on the mobile than second hand mobile..

well, i would suggest that you buy a second hand one if you're changing just every six months. if you're using it for a long time, say a year or two, maybe that's the time you would want to get a brand new phone. 'cause i don't think it's reasonable to buy a brand new one if you're changing it that fast considering the price. Just be keen on choosing second hand phones, it should be as good as new.

If you like to change your phone frequently then it will be better to buy a second hand phone because when the price of the phone drops you will lose very less money.

I would personally recommend you to try both - old second hand ones, as well as original brand new ones. Just check out the deals. Whatever good discount you can get, take it. You never know where you are going to find the best deal.
