What do you lot use & why?
For the last 3 or so phones that I've had they've just been on 24 month contracts, for a number of reasons, i.e. cost of buying a handset outright, ease of having contract sorted, and simply routine. However my phone contract is up again next month & I can move on.
Initially I was thinking I'd just keep my current phone & go sim only to save some money. However the battery life of my current one has started to become an issue, and I can afford to upgrade so why not.
So for the first time I figured I'd look into buying the handset outright, and going sim only, as I figured this must be the cheaper option. But strangely it seems the opposite, I'm finding contract deals that all in cost less than the cost of buying the handset I was looking at outright. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places or my sample size is too small.
On a side note I was also looking at switching to Android for the first time, my last 3 have all been iPhones, for no other reason than I've been used to them & found strangely good deals on the latest phone at the time my contracts have been up, never paying >£30/month for the latest one on reliable networks - however this year the latest iPhones are looking at almost double that price which is madness if I can get an equivalent/better spec'ed Android for similar to what I currently pay. Hope the transition is smooth.
