Should I get a contract or a SIM-free phone?
The most popular option in the UK is paying for your phone through a contract. These allow you to pay for both your device and SIM in one package and benefits those who don’t want to pay-out a massive sum when they get a new phone. The other option is to buy a phone outright, and then buying the SIM separately. This is a less common option, but it can come with a number of benefits, if you can afford the handset. There’s plenty of freedom when it comes to your data plan and going SIM-free is cheaper in the long run. Although, that initial upfront payment does tend to put most people off.What data plan should I get?
- 1-2GB - Realistically, you need at least 1GB on your plan, as most providers will offer this at a reasonable price and will allow for plenty of messaging, mapping, and emailing services on the go.
- 3-5GB - If you find yourself scrolling through social media in your spare time, we’d suggest opting for the 2-3GB mark.
- 6-9GB - The occasional YouTube video or music streaming session won't be a problem with this bracket.
- 10-19GB - This amount of data is normally more than enough for the majority of users, and will let you download audio, scan social media, and watch YouTube on the go.
- 20-30GB - Big data is perfect for streaming online video from sites like Netflix. Packages like this will also offer plenty of add-ons as well.
- Unlimited - Plenty of providers now offer unlimited data plans, although it can be pricey. If you do want to go unlimited, it could be smart to opt for a SIMO plan and buy your phone outright to reduce overall cost.
How much memory do I need on my phone?
If you like having all your photos, music, downloads, and videos to hand, directly on your device, you should opt for the larger 128GB or 256GB models. However, a lot of devices now pride themselves on their cloud storage capabilities, so if you stream from Spotify, and save loads to Google Drive, you could save some money and use a lower memory handset, if possible.Follow IGN UK Deals on Social Media
