Prepayment phones otherwise known as pay as you go phones have been on the market for a while and are becoming popular among many of us. Such price plans can also be a good way to budget your phone calls. This is because the calls made on the phone are limited to the credit paid to the network operator, If you need to make another call you will need to top up the credit on the phone.
Many or most mobile phone operators offer pay as you go phones. Various networks offer different rates and you usually pay to obtain the phone as well. Depending on your situation it can save you a lot of money, but you are better off going through my checklist to see if you are better off on a prepaid phone. If you find budgeting hard I will recommend a prepaid phone as this enable you to keep track of your phone call cost without having to call the network for the information.
Some mobile phone companies attach conditions to pay as you go phones in the sense that you will need to regularly top the phone up within a given time frame or use the credit on your phone within a period of time otherwise the credit on the phone reverts to zero irrespective of the amount of credit left on your phone. If you are intending on purchasing one ensure that you find out what the conditions are otherwise you might be worse off.
In my next post I will be writing about the benefits of a prepayment phone, moreover feel free to forward any of my postings to anyone whom you feel will benefit from the valuable information, by clicking on the envelope icon next to the comment text.

Getting the latest phone every year for cheap or free
Thanks for coming back to read how you can ensure that you get the best mobile phone deal. I hope you have learnt a lot from my posting, I can assure you that there is going to be many more tips and information posted on the site.
As I stated in my postings that you need to get it right when choosing a mobile phone contract, getting it wrong could lock you into a contract which could also end up draining your hard earned cash out of your pocket. In order to avoid this you really need to sit down and provide answers to the questions in the post.
After you have been able to provide answers to the question which I have posted, you will also have to ensure that you are aware of how long the contract is for, various networks offer various contract lengths. There are some offering 9, 12, 18 months or even longer. The longer the contract you sign up for the longer you will have to retain the same phone, unless stated otherwise by your network provider. It could also mean that you will have to stick to the price plan for the duration of the contract unless otherwise stated by your network provider.
If you are an individual who likes to change phones on a regular basis without having to pay through your nose, then the contract length is an area which you may want to pay attention to. If you are tied into a 12 month contract, then you may be entitled to an upgrade in the 11th month by some networks. But the longer the contract is the longer you may have to retain the phone, or unless otherwise stated by your service provider. Always ensure that you know how long the contract is running for and whether you are able to afford the upkeeping of the phone for the period of the contract, also determine how often you may wish to change your phone as well before taking on the contract.
