They basically offer the same models as their main competitor, however, they substitute it with low pricing, making their offers more appealing. Inphonic’s aggressive pricing strategy of heavily subsidizing free cell phones with discounts or rebates worth several hundred dollars, is good enough to lure customers away from the traditional way of purchasing, via over the counter retail stores. Retail chains that compete with InPhonic such as Wal-Mart and Radio Shack faces higher cost of operation due to the fact that they operate in stores. Paying wages of storekeepers and maintenance for thousands of stores nationwide is heavy enough.
