Find out more about pay as you go phones and how you could benefit from choosing this way to communicate.
Thinking of buying a pay as you go phone? If so, you could be easily confused by the number of different handsets available and the tariffs charged by network operators. The best thing to do is ask yourself two or three key questions that could help you to find the right pay as you go phone for you.
Pay As You Go Mobile Phones - Essential QuestionsThere are three basic but essential questions that you should ask before you buy a pay as you go mobile phone. The answers to these questions will help you to find the right solution for your needs, and then you can go out and buy with confidence:
- Do I need a pay as you go phone? If you call or text a lot over the course of a month, it's worth checking whether pay as you go phones are a cheaper option than a contract phone. If you're buying a phone for the first time, or you're replacing a landline phone with a mobile, work out the relative cost of contracts and call charges to make sure that choosing pay as you go is the right option for you.
- What handset can I afford? Pay as you go phones don't come as part of the package - you have to pay full price for them. Handsets are available now for as little as £15, but these are basic and may not have all the features you'd like. Work out how much you can afford to spend on a handset and then look at models in that price range to see what sort of phone you can get. Added features include still and video cameras, MP3 players, radio, touch screen and internet connection.
- What should I pay for my calls? Network operators vary the price of their calls and text messages depending on how much you top up the credit on your pay as you go phone, and how often. Take the time to look at call and text charges so you know roughly how long your credit will last, and make sure you also check costs for things like multimedia messages and internet connection if these are things you're likely to use.
