Lets look at this in a little more detail.


• Do I like watching videos on my mobile phone? If so then maybe you will consider a device with a larger and higher quality screen.
• Do I enjoy capturing photos and videos? Then look for a phone with a good quality camera .
• Do I use my phone to track the progress of my physically fitness and listen to music when I work out? If this is the case then think about the size of the phone and the fact that you have to carry it when you run. Does it have the ability to record each step as you move? Does it have GPS to track the route I take and record the average speed and distance covered etc

What s included in your contract can vary quite significantly on such things as … the number of minutes , texts and data allowance.

Minutes & Texts

The best place to start to find out how much you need of each is to look at your past usage. You will find that a large percentage of the population who own a contract mobile phones dont use anywhere near there allowance of text message and minutes each month. So take a few minutes to look at how many minutes and text you use each month on average and then add a little more just in case as going over your allowance can become expensive. Mobile Data allowance ….

We have talked about minutes and texts now lets look at something a little more tricky …..

Data allowance.

The reason why I say its a little tricker, is when you change your mobile phone the chances are that due to the advancements in technology and society connecting to the internet has become more and more a part of the mobile experience with apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc being so popular all these applications require access to the internet. Now your new mobile phone can do more things then ever before it probably going to need more data so ask yourself this question....

How often do I use my phone out and about where I do not have access to WiFi?
There are many places now that you can connect to WiFi which does not use any of your mobile data allowance such as home, work, restaurants and other public places. However if you are not in these areas then how long and do you spend doing the following.....
Watching Youtube videos, browsing the internet, shopping online, streaming music, sharing photos and accessing social media etc. All these activities can be quite data intensive so keep that in mind when looking at how much data you need and use.

Congratulations you have made it to the end of this quick guide to choosing the best mobile phone deal . You are now ready to have fun choosing your new shiny mobile phone.
