Mobile phone contracts

[Ads]

I've had the same mobile phone provider (O2, and before that, BT Cellnet) for 10 years now and never changed. I'm currently paying �120 line rental in advance every 12 months, and then about �5 each month for texts and calls above my allowance.
I want to see if there are any better deals out there but it seems to be a complete mindfield. Where should I start?

As you say, it's a minefield. Read this before you do anything.

The problem with a "better deal" is that something that is good for me might not be good for you. As with most mobile "good deals", you should be looking for lower payments and ideally more minutes/texts AND less money!

I'd start by calling O2 and saying that you're thinking of leaving for another network, saying that it's costing too much and see what they offer you. From your current usage, that works out to around �15/month ... if they offer you something for less than that that includes enough minutes and texts so you don't have to pay for extra, then that's the better deal for you!

I've not paid a penny for 3yrs for my wife and myself.
