Contract Mobile Phones vs. Prepaid
When you're buying your next handset, should you choose contract mobile phones or the prepaid option?

Having trouble working out whether to choose contract mobile phones or pay as you go? Both payment methods have their benefits, and you really need to take the time to work out which is best for you, given how often you use your phone and the sort of features you access regularly. For some, contract mobile phones are the only way to go.

Selecting Contract Mobile Phones

Prepaid mobile phones are incredibly useful for those that need to keep a tight rein on their expenses. They are also really good value for younger children, such as those in their early teens, who are often limited by the prepaid amount in terms of the number of texts and calls they can make. Similarly, for those who are only using their phones as an emergency method of contact, choosing a prepaid phone makes the most financial sense. For others, however, who use their phones on a regular basis, and often as the primary method of contact, there's no substitute for contract mobile phones:
  • Great offers - beat the network operators by making the very most of your contract mobile phone. Competition is so intense in this market that networks are constantly bringing out new offers to tempt you to join them. Rather than just being sold on the marketing, check out each deal carefully. Contract mobile phones is where most operators make their money, but if you do your homework, you can make the right tariff work for you. If your current contract is coming to an end, or you're thinking of switching from prepaid, keep an eye out for the latest offers and deals.
  • Financial planning - choosing a monthly tariff on a contract mobile phone helps you to plan your finances. You know exactly how much is going out each time, and because you can also keep track of how many free minutes and texts you have left, you can use your allowance each month without it costing you any extra.
  • Handset costs - many handset models are available without charge when you sign a contract. Mobile phones, particularly the latest generation of touch screen models, don't come cheap, but if you choose to go with contract rather than prepaid, you can pay a subsidised amount for your handset or even, if you choose a more standard model, have it included with your contract.
