So I've never owned a cell phone before and was looking at cingular's website and noticed that the prices of phones with a new contract were different than they were about 5 days ago. The actual phones were the same, but some of the ones that were free last week were now $20-40, and vice versa. How often do they change the pricing on their phones?
