Wireless telephone providers often run internet promotions that offer deals with significant savings over other retail outlets. But many people seem to be unaware of the savings potential of ordering their phones online.

In a recent Compete survey of over 2,200 wireless phone users, just 28% felt that the internet offered the best deals on wireless phones and services.
