The Cell Again franchise system offers you an innovative business model in an expanding market, complimented by a growing brand. Cell Again is different than most cell phone retailers. We buy, repair, and sell new and used phones. By selling the most recent phones, we serve the same market as most cell phone retailer, but we also buy or repair old phones from customers, which we can then resell to other customers at a generous markup. Traditional cell phone retailers mark down phones so they can make money off activations or contracts. We don't. Instead, we repair, buy, or sell new and used phones. When we sell a phone, we keep the money. No contract commissions from major carriers that take 90 days to pay. No canceled contracts eating profits. Cell Again is the easiest place to sell a used phone and pick up a discounted new one without a contract. Cell Again uses groundbreaking technology to help support its franchisees. Every franchise owner has access to the Cell Again Intranet where they can talk to other franchise owners, discuss issues in the franchisee forum, take online training, download important documents and execute their local marketing plans. That's why even if you're a cell phone novice, Cell Again can be the right choice for you.
