Selecting the Right Network provider

The primary mobile phone networks in the UK are O2, T-Mobile, Orange, Vodafone and ‘3’. Other secondary providers, such as Virgin Mobile, operate their services through these networks. All the networks use the latest 3G technology, which transmits data at high speeds to enable you to surf the internet and receive and send emails, pictures and video clips.

What are ‘SIM Only’ deals

Sim Only Contracts are mobile phone contracts that you would find in your local mobile phone shop, which means they are sim only and they don’t supply you with a phone.  A SIM card is compatible wih any mobile handset, though you willprobably need to get your handset unlocked if it is currently linked to a particular mobile network and your new SIM card is mananufactured by a different one.

Are SIM Only contracts good value?

Yes, this is because you don’t have to pay for a mobile phone meaning the saving is passed onto you.  This means that SIM Only contracts often cost less per month and you can often get more minutes and more texts.

How long are the contracts?

SIM only contracts are not like normal contracts where you are often toed into a minimum contracts terms such as 12 or 24 months.  These contracts are only 30 days, which means you just need to give one months notice.  This is ideal if your situation changes and you need to cancel your contract.

Why Choose SIM Only?

SIM only contracts are a lot cheaper per month than any other mobile phone contract because there is no handset included and the cost of the SIM card itself is small and they are usually included free as part of the package.  You will get a lot more value for money for your monthly payment and monthly costs can start from as little as £10 on certain networks.  Each contract will also include a set number of free voice minutes and texts each month, ranging from 100 voice minutes and  200 texts up to 1200 minutes and unlimited texts depending on the contract and network.  The second major benefit is that there is a minimum contract of just 30 days with every network that offers these deals.  This means that if you are not happy with the price planor service in any way you’re committed for one month, after this month you can leave without any penalties.

SIM Only Extras

The thing about SIM only deals is that they will often come with the same benefits as contracts with a longer  commitment and free handsets, like free video calling, unlimited internet access, free video calling, all included in the monthly cost.  There are also  Pay As You Go SIM only deals which will give you bonuses for topping up by a certain amount each week or month, like free calls to UK landlines or number of free international minutes per month.  If you already have a mobile handset and want more for your dough from your mobile phone contract then a SIM only contract could be the best option for you.

A smartphones’s operating system (OS) dictates its basic features and what third-party software you can install.  Windows Mobile 6.1 has the familiar look and feel of Windows and is the best option for Microsoft Exchange email.  It also allows you to buy software from numerous online providers.

The iPhone uses an OS based on Apple’s OS X. Although very slick, it won’t run any software that hasn’t been approved by Apple.  Google has rececently launched its open-source Android mobile OS, which should benefit from a wide range of freely available software.

All smartphones come with a colour screen, but look out for our the quality of the screen if you are viewing photos or video clips. 

Cameras are common in smartphones, but resolutions are limited to around 8 megapixels.

Many of the latest handsets have touchcreen interfaces, but a  keyboard can be more suitable for entering text quickly and accurately.  Windows Mobile and Palm OS have handwriting recognition features for stylus based smartphones, once you get used to these, you can enter text very quickly.

Be careful when choosing a mobile contract.  Look for a contract with a large data allowance if you want to use the internet regularly; note that all unlimited allowances actually have caps on usage. 

Built in WiFI can help you avoid high data charges by connectingy to the Internet using wireless hotspots, or via your router when at home.

Bluetooth compatibility can allow your alptop to connect wirelessly to your smartphone for web access on the move, and you can synchronise contacts using the same connection.
