I have a cell phone, and I absolutely love it, but a great and cheap alternative to pricey and complex cell phones and cell phone plans is most definitely the Peek. (Plus, even if I wanted to save money by switching to the Peek, I couldn’t. My teenage brother, who is at a residential school, has snagged my Peek and enjoys keeping in touch with me and our mother with it!) The Peek, which I reviewed last fall, is a handheld device that looks and functions a lot like a Blackberry or Windows Mobile phone, except it only does email and text messages.
Anyway, I was doing some more reading on Peek recently, and found that an in-depth comparison has proved that a Peek really is cheaper if all you want to do is send and receive email and text message your friends and family members! For instance, someone with Verizon could save almost $1000 over the life of their contract by using Peek for their email and texting needs.

P.S. Are you ready for Peek? Hit up Costco and check out their Peek lifetime deal. For $399 you get the Peek device (in your choice of red, aqua or black) and LIFETIME service (the normal service is $20 per month)! Considering that in a year you will pay approximately $240 in monthly fees, plus the cost of the phone, you can see how $399 for LIFETIME service is a great deal!
