When buying a mobile phone, there are any number of questions you need to ask yourself. Do you want all the latest gadgets included, or are you happy with a basic model. <\/p>\n
Do you want a phone that can fit in your shirt pocket, or are you happy with one that could double as a doorstop? But one of the most important questions is the one of whether you get a contract or pay as you go phone. <\/p>\n
If you get a contract phone, then there is more cost upfront. You need to pay a monthly subscription which is often referred to as “line rental”, even though there is technically no line to speak of. <\/p>\n
You may also have to factor into that a monthly cost for your pricing plan. In return for this, you will usually get a set number of texts and calling minutes for free each month, and some other deals. <\/p>\n
If you take a pay as you go phone, then you will need to purchase credit for it occasionally. This credit will then be deducted when you make a call, send a text or, with a newer phone, use the internet. <\/p>\n
You may be able to get certain deals which allow you free minutes and calls, but this will depend on how much credit you buy and use. <\/p>\n
It is generally considered that if you use your phone often you will benefit more from having a contract, whereas if you simply have it as a way of being contacted and sending the occasional text or making a call occasionally, pay as you go works out cheaper. <\/p>\n
But the choice is up to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
