Before contract, please ask about the discount for certain cell phone number at the shop. The discount is very useful, when you call the resisted cell phone number, at that time your charge for the call will discount half price. Usually every body call few people many times, so if you register their cell phone numbers, the charges for your calls would be cheaper than unregistered. But, this service is usually for only same operator's cell phone numbers, so generally people choose same operator as their family or friends.

In additionally, there are some discounts for students. If you are a student, check the discount also at shop.
