Contract Mobile Phones

Welcome to the Contract Mobile Phones page, here we have a guide to getting contract mobile phones online in the UK. All of the major UK networks offer contracts such as Orange, Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile, 3 and Virgin, they are a good idea if you use your mobile phone allot.

Contract mobile phones are mobiles that are offered with an agreement to pay a certain amount of money per month, this is usually taken with a direct debit. For this money you are entitled to a certain amount of calls and text messages, this is generally called a tariff or a plan and they vary massively so it's a very good idea to shop around to find the best deal for you. They vary in the times you are allowed to make the calls, some contracts only allow you to use your call time in off peak times whereas other contracts will allow you to call at any time of day. Some contracts also charge more for calling people on other mobile phone networks or offer a discount rate for calling the same network, the top UK mobile phone networks are 3, Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone, O2 and Virgin.

Text messages are also an important factor with a contract mobile, text messages are very popular so some contracts bundle allot of texts into the contract which can save you allot of money, if you use text messages allot then this is worth looking for.

Another very important aspect with contract mobile phones is the fact that you often get a free handset or a much cheaper handset, these are from top manufacturers such as Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and many others. This makes a big difference as these handsets cost hundreds of pounds to buy SIM free so you will save allot of money having a free mobile phone, remember that if you are paying £20-30 a month on a contract then the first 4-5 months of the contract is enough to pay for the phone and you can change contract after the contract runs out which is normally 12 months. You can also get the top models for free, you can get Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and many other mobiles from top manufacturers so this makes a free mobile on a contract a very attractive proposition. You can also get mobile phones with all of the latest features such as a camera, MP3 player and video recorder.

One of the latest advancements in mobile phone technology is the third generation mobile phones, these are offered by the networks 3, Vodafone and Orange. These 3G networks enable you to make video calls and also send video messages, this adds a whole new dimension to making calls on a mobile phone. 3G also allows access to the Internet at broadband speeds which means you can download MP3's, videos and lots of other content easily. You can get a 3G mobile on a contract just like you can with the older mobile phones, some of the networks such as Orange and 3 have been offering incentives to get customers onto the new 3G network so there are often some great deals available.

The mobile phones offered on contracts these days are very advanced, one thing that most mobiles now have is a digital camera. These digital cameras are very high quality though and can rival the quality found in a digital camera, the cameras found in mobile phones also often have the ability to record video and if you're on a 3G network you can send these videos to your friends. Manufacturers that offer these phones include Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola and Philips. Some mobile phones also come with a full MP3 player that can rival the MP3 players that you can buy from electronics stores. They have enough space for thousands of MP3's and come with headphones so that you can listen to the MP3's easily, it's incredible that you can purchase a mobile phone that also has a quality camera and MP3 player and often get the phone for free!

Mobile phone networks such as Vodafone, O2, Orange, 3 and T-Mobile are often quite strict about who they will let have a contract mobile with them. You will have to be at least 18 years of age and you will also have to pass a credit check when you apply for a contract mobile, the credit check is similar to those that financial companies carry out if you were to apply for a bank account or a loan.
