Getting Started

Consumer Code
All of the country’s major wireless carriers and most regional and local wireless service providers are committed to the voluntary Consumer Code. It’s the industry’s effort to provide consumers with information to help them make informed choices when selecting wireless service, to help ensure consumers understand their wireless service and rate plans, and to continue to provide wireless service that meets consumers’ needs. 


Plan Selection
One of the beauties of wireless service in America today is the vast amount of choices you have, including what kind of service plan you want. Carriers want your business!  That’s why they offer you a variety of plans, so you’re able to find the one that best fits your needs. In this section CTIA provides tools to help you figure out which plan is right for you.


Device Selection
Wireless devices also come in many varieties to accommodate your business and personal needs. Deciding what functionality you want from your wireless device is an important step in choosing the best one for you. See what helpful hints we have to share in selecting the device that is right for you.
