Should I purchase a mobile phone outright or as part of a contract?

There are two main ways of obtaining a cell phone from your phone shop. The first option is purchasing a phone as part of a combined phone and service contract with the user being invoiced for their cell phone usage with the cost of the phone factored in. Phones can also be bought outright for a lump sum, with the service arranged independently.

Paying outright at your phone store puts a dent in your wallet, but allows you choose between different plans and to switch between carriers. You can also resell the phone and upgrade it later.

Buying on a plan makes it easy to get that premium phone in your pocket as it spreads the cost of the phone over 24 months. The downside is that you’re stuck with the carrier for the life of the phone, as these phones are ‘locked’ out of other carriers.

With this in mind, you’ll have a better understanding of your options as you’re shopping for mobile phones for sale! Have a look through our online directory to find mobile stores and buy your mobile phone today.
