How To Spend Less On Calls With A Prepaid And A Contract Phone
Many people with a cell phone contract wish they would have a prepaid mobile contract instead
, as these are often cheaper and more flexible. But they have been lured into a costly long term agreement by the initial subsidy for the handset, and are now stuck. If you are one of these people, don't despair, there are still ways that you can save with a prepaid mobile.
There are lots of tricks that you can use to your advantage by getting a prepaid mobile and using it in conjunction with your existing cell phone. Just read on. You will learn how to identify the main areas where you can save money on your calls.
Also, if you go for a prepaid mobile plan to complement your existing one you should consider dual SIM card cell phones, which you can use with both phone lines at the same time. There are several dual SIM handsets on the market, and they range from cheap and basic ones to advanced multimedia devices.
The alternative is to use two different phones. Depending on how you feel about it, it may either sound awkward or fine. In the former case, search the Internet for a SIM duplicator, a little nifty device that you can fit to your existing phone to accommodate two SIM cards.
As for the use of a prepaid mobile in conjunction with a contract, one great option is to use a specialized prepaid mobile card to spend less on long distance calls, especially if you make a lot of international card. With such a card you will save yourself the hassle of calling a special number, which is less convenient.
On normal calls, often prepaid mobile SIM cards are already cheaper per minute of call than a contract phone, but the cost savings are even greater if you take a pay as you go number with special off peak rates. These may apply in the evening, on weekends, or both, and will give you serious minutes for your money during those times.
If you use text messages a lot, you will be pleased to learn that with prepaid mobile phones, you can spend up to ten times less than with cellular contracts when spending SMS. Plus, some pricing options emphasizing texts give you the possibility to use MSN Messenger or another instant messaging software for free, so you can keep in touch with your friends in real time.
Use of the Internet while on the go is another area where you can save using prepaid mobiles. While it may seem strange at first, there are pay as you go options that have a cheaper mobile internet tariff than corporate contracts. Using your prepaid mobile this way will allow you to carry a rock-bottom cheap mobile browser with you at all times!
If you shop around, possibly comparing the most recent offers for your country over the Internet, you will find that many of the above options can be bundled in a single prepaid mobile line, allowing you to match the things that are most useful for you.
While you are doing this research, do also check when your current contract runs out, which should be one or two years after its start or last renewal. This way you will know when you will be able to switch your main cell number to a more convenient and flexible prepaid mobile.
