For all those currently considering the best offers for mobile phones here are a few tips to think about!
Currently on the market are 18 month contracts. They generally say 12 months free line rental and don't mention the 18 month tie in with the network provider. Most commonly doing this deal at the present moment is time is 3.
You may think thats a pretty good deal but is it? Have a good think!
Thats you stuck with that particular network provider for 18 months. But you get 12 months free? Well is that all that hot when you end up having to pay for 6 months line rental of roughly £30. That amounts to £180 and your stuck with them for 18 months. Consider though that a 12 month contract with 6 months free line rental amounts to paying the same £180 but you are not stuck with them.
This means that 12 months down the line you can cancel your contract and switch to get a better deal and a newer phone!
There are some deals on the market to be had but make sure that you have a good think before jumping in feet first. There are reports that these 18 month offers are of a poorer quality service than that of a 12 month so it is certainly an important note to consider.
If you have a phone which you are generally satisfied with or not too bothered about your phone you can get 12 months free line rental with O2 with 100 free minutes (200 for first 3 months and 100 free texts (200 for first 3 months).
