Mobile phone plans

Mobile phone plans in depth

Mobile phone plans could be referred to as talk plans or monthly plans, or even as your mobile package.

A mobile phone plan allows you to pay a one-off monthly fee for a set amount of talk time, texts and usually mulitmedia messaging or data usage as well.

Why choose a mobile phone plan?

As part of your monthly mobile phone plan you will not only get inclusive minutes and texts, but will have an agreed set price per text and per minute for any calls you make or texts you send over the amount included in your mobile plan.

You will set up your mobile phone plan with your chosen mobile phone network, in the UK this will mean that your mobile phone plan is set up with one of the following:

• 3
• O2
• Orange
• T-Mobile
• Tesco Mobile
• Virgin Mobile
• Vodafone

Mobile phone plans often have very little to do with the mobile phone handsets, most networks allow you to choose the handset and then pick a mobile phone plan to go with it.

You may find that some networks place a minimum monthly payment on some handsets. If you want to get the very latest handsets then you may have to opt for a premium priced monthly plan.

Choosing the right mobile phone plan for you:

The mobile phone plan you choose will reflect the kind of mobile user you are, for example if you are someone who prefers to send texts with their mobile, it would make sense to go for a mobile phone plan that gives you unlimited texts.

Mobile phone plans with unlimited texts could mean massive savings for heavy texters. Almost all the major networks offer mobile plans with unlimited texts and those that don't normally offer an add-on to their standard plans that gives you a great deal on unlimited texting.
