The best places to buy a phone should simplify the process and offer good deals and upgrades. You know you’re shopping on a marketplace you can trust when you find affordable phones that go along with great customer experiences.

Best Buy is a great option for buying a new smartphone online or in stores. You can even request a new smartphone from the online store, reserve it at your local Best Buy store, and pick it up the same day.

Best Buy has a great selection of smartphones and cell phones, including budget phones and today’s most expensive handsets. Even better, it’s an authorized reseller for major U.S. carriers, so if you want to sign up for a new Verizon or AT&T account, for example, you can do so at Best Buy without ever having to go to a carrier.

Best Buy's on-site staff is very knowledgeable. The company receives new smartphones on launch day and often has deals.
