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." PriceGrabber provides this solution for comparison
shopping for the cellular services market in part by working with
industry leading online wireless phone and service plan provider,
InPhonic, Inc. (Nasdaq:INPC). The service provides savvy cell
shoppers with a secure online platform to help find carrier plans,
wireless phones, and corresponding accessories with a click of a
mouse. "We are excited to support PriceGrabber's latest channel,"
said David A. Steinberg, Chairman and CEO of InPhonic, Inc.

cellular product and service category on their site for consumers
to research and find the best deals. This new channel will be a
great shopping experience for PriceGrabber's tech savvy consumer
who likes to research and compare before purchasing."
