Mobile phone deals
Mobile phones and contracts can seem like a massive hassle to sort, not to mention expensive. With our tips, get the cheapest deals and an overall better experience!
A mobile phone is obviously essential these days and if you're not careful you could end up pay over double what you should be each month.

Consider insuring it
Accidents happen and your phone is no exception to the rule! Especially as in this day and age, we use it all the time and it comes with us everywhere.

Know the rates for calling abroad
This is a big one for saving money! Calling abroad can be extremely expensive, whether you're calling from the UK or if you're on holiday and need to call home.
Make sure you check the rates online or with your mobile phone provider directly in-store so you know what you're faced with.
-
Work out your data usage
Sure, it's great to have 100GB or unlimited data, but if you're only using 8GB per month, you're massively overpaying for the privilege.
Most phone providers have an app where you can check your monthly data usage, if not just give them a call. You may be able to choose a cheaper plan for your actual day-to-day usage.
-
Get free social media data
VOXI gives customers endless social media usage with all of their plans, which means that if you're on a 6GB per month plan, any time you're on social media within this, it won't count towards your 6GB you pay for!
This means you can use your data to do other things.
-
Haggle for your life (and contract)
Haggle, haggle, haggle for a great deal! Just because the provider is expensive online, doesn't mean you're stuck with it.
Give them a call and see if you can negotiate a better price for a new contract or even your existing one!
You could even find out which providers offer a mobile contract student discount.
