Choosing mobile phone plans
21 August 2008
Choosing mobile phone plans can be difficult, as you will need to take many things into account. This list could help you to decide what you will require when choosing mobile phone plans.
Do you need a new mobile phone?
If you need a new mobile phone, then mobile phone plans that either include one for free or else include one at a discounted cost may be good for you. The longer you stay on mobile phone plans of this kind, the cheaper the included mobile phone will usually be. Be prepared for long term mobile phone plans as the most likely type of mobile phone plans available with a free mobile phone included.
Will you be using 3G features?
It is very likely that you will end up using 3G features in the next few years. For this reason, factor in some extra money each month for a decent data allowance. You may not be web browsing on your old mobile phone, but with a modern 3G mobile phone you may find you are using mobile Internet services far more often in just a short period of time.
Which service provider will be most beneficial?
Many service providers will offer free or heavily discounted calls to other people on the same network. It could be advantageous to find out what network your friends and family are on and whether the mobile phone plans include free calls to other network users. Some networks also provide extra services to their customers, such as those available on Telstra mobile phone plans.
