Amazon has just rolled out a new website, Amazon Wireless! So of course we need to post an Amazon Wireless Review!
The new site is going to offer cell phones, service plans, easy rebate redemption, comparison shopping features, and free two day shipping. Amazon has offered cell phones for a long time, but this is the first time they’ve moved into the space so forcefully.
As of right now, there are three providers integrated with Amazon Wireless: Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T. More, including Sprint, should be added before too long.
“We have taken our eight years’ experience selling cell phones to create a new site that makes a potentially confusing transaction much easier for customers,” said Paul Ryder, vice president of consumer electronics for Amazon.com.
Amazon Wireless Review: Initial Thoughts
Motorola Droid A855
First and foremost, wireless plans are getting increasingly complicated and expensive. It’s not like we use our cell phones to just talk anymore! On most of these new smartphones, there are like 7 ways to communicate – text, voice, pbx based (very advanced), through skype, through chat, etc. Having a site to clear up some of the phone selection process will be a huge help.
I don’t know about you, but with all these features, my family plan has increased from $60 or $70 a month to $230 a month! It’s terribly difficult to make any changes too. If you want to add or delete a feature, it takes a trip to the store and an entire afternoon! The store is always packed…
I personally like the idea of a collective website that will allow me to manage my wireless plans…
Amazon Wireless Review: The Good And The Bad

Right now, Amazon Wireless has about 120 phones with more models to be introduced constantly. They also have all of the newest smartphones for feature shoppers and budget concious folks.
The cool thing is that you can shop by carrier, feauture, color, brand or price. In fact, my girlfriend just used Amazon Wireless to find a red phone – her favorite color. For me, I don’t care what color it is as long as it get’s email!
Like Amazon.com, there are all kinds of suggested products, a pretty easy shopping cart, bestseller lists, good product descriptions and lots of videos for the product and features.
Probably the best thing is the step by step sign up or upgrade process. Amazon Wireless really has done their best to streamline the process and make it as easy as possible for first time customers. They’ve also totally cut out all the technical jargon and frustrating rebate paperwork.
Amazon Wireless Review: Final Thoughts
The best part about Amazon Wireless is the ease of use. It doesn’t matter whether you’re thinking about adding a line or upgrading your Blackberry – you’ll find what your looking for at the new site. I highly recommend it!

Thanks for you review. My husband and I were about to renew our plans when we found it and thought Amazon Wireless made the process much simpler. We live in Chicago and the Verizon store by us is always packed so this was much easier.
I think we both have a better idea of what we bought too. Amazon’s site did a really good job of walking us through the features and everything else. Thanks again. Tori
