If you're looking for an easy way to control your call and text costs, pre-pay mobiles are probably the answer. You decide how much you need to spend and you're in charge of how and when you make calls or send texts. What could be easier?

Adding Up Pre-pay Mobiles

To make sure that a pre-pay mobile deal is the right one for you, take the time to add up the call and text charges. If you're a regular phone user, you might think that a contract offers best value for money, but it's always worth doing the sums, just to double check. That's because a contract ties you to a network provider for at least 12 months - and more often 18 or 24 months - far longer than you might want to pay for your phone calls. Pre-pay mobiles, in contrast, allow you to spend as much or as little as you like:

• Pay for the time you use - contracts may look very generous, but only a few people really use 900 minutes of calls a month. Unless you're using your mobile as an alternative to landline phones, or you need to use your phone regularly for work, there's often no need to use anything like this number of minutes. With pre-pay mobiles, you only pay for the time you use - putting you firmly in control.

• Communicate by text - because in most cases, pre-pay phone tariffs are cheaper for texts than they are for minutes, texting could be the best option for you. This is especially true of teenagers and younger people, who spend more time texting than they do calling. Many contracts offer unlimited texts and if you regularly spend a huge amount of money texting, then it may be worth considering, but for most, pre-pay mobile text tariffs are fine for the texting they do.

• Easy upgrades - people on contracts have to wait for as long as two years before they can update their handsets. There's a lot of new technology arriving in the mobiles market in that timescale, and if you choose pre-pay mobiles, you're in a position to take advantage of the latest handsets pretty much whenever you can afford to make the change.
