Choosing the Right Phone for You

When it comes to choosing a new phone, it can be easy to be overwhelmed by the huge range available, or talked into a deal that isn’t right for you by a pushy salesman, thinking only of his commission.

There are a number of things you need to bear in mind when shopping for a new phone, and it helps to have an idea in your head of what you’re looking for before you arrive at your local phone store.

Here are a few things you should consider:

• Is make important – are you after the latest Apple phone, or have you always used a Samsung in the past?

• Are you looking for the latest model offering hi-tech features, or would you be happy with a more basic phone that does what you need it to do?

• What is your budget? When thinking about this, you need to take into account not only the price of the phone, but also any ongoing monthly contract

• How do you use your phone? Do you mostly communicate with calls, or are you a texter? Do you spend a lot of time checking your email for work, or is social media your medium of choice when it comes to communicating with friends and family?

• Would you prefer a pay-as-you-go phone or one with a monthly contract?

By considering answers to all of these questions, you’ll get a good idea what’s important to you and what doesn’t really matter when it comes to your next mobile phone.

It’s great to have a firm idea in mind of what you’re looking for, and don’t be afraid to take notes into the store with you, which will allow you to be clear on what’s important to you.

You’ll find mobile phones online and in-store to suit all needs, and once you’ve selected your handset, you’ll need to think about whether to buy a pay-as-you-go phone or commit to a monthly contract – this is a decision that shouldn’t be rushed!
