Nowadays there are so many different mobile phone handsets, networks, and tariffs out there on the market that choosing a set up that is right for you is harder than ever.

Talking and texting are obviously the two key features of any mobile phone. If these are the only things you want a mobile for, and you aren’t bothered about all the extras that come with a high tech smartphone such as internet access, a camera, and satellite navigation, you can save a lot of money by picking a basic handset. Depending on whether you use more minutes or texts, you can then pick a contract or pay as you go plan that best suits your style.

If you want something a bit more high tech, the process of choosing a mobile phone can be compared to buying a new computer. A top of the range smartphone is many gadgets in one; digital camera, mp3 player, personal organiser. All these great features integrated into one device means that you will never need to carry around multiple gadgets again! If you want a good camera, pick a phone camera that has a high megapixel count. If you plan on using your phone as an mp3 player, check how much memory the phone has so that you can definitely store all your favourite tracks.

Once you have thought a little about the kind of handset you want and the features it should include, you will need to decide whether you want to be on a pay monthly contract or a pay as you go SIM card.
