Simple ways to save money on your mobile bill

Swap tariffs. If you are on a contract mobile deal then the chances are that your are receiving free texts and calls of some kind. However, the chances also suggest that your are not using all of them up every month.

So what are you doing paying extra money for a contract that you are not benefiting from? Instead, take a look at your actual monthly usage of texts and calls. Then have a look at the contracts currently on offer and see if you can find one that better suits your needs. You are bound to be able to find a cheaper deal if you currently use less than half of your monthly allowance.

Consider pay as you go. If you are on a tight budget and want to curb your mobile phone costs, then opting for a pay as you go plan could be the right move for you.

This is a great option for those who do not use their phone too frequently, as it can work out cheaper per call than being on one of the lower monthly contracts.

With pay as you go you can really keep an eye on your monthly or weekly mobile spend, topping up only when you need to. Topping up is now easier than ever too, as you can do so by phone using your debit or credit card, by voucher, or in any store or at any ATM cash machine that shows the green top-up logo.

Use a foreign SIM when on holiday. Anyone who has taken their phone on holiday with them will know that it is easy for your phone to spend more on your foreign trip than you do. Making calls while abroad can be very expensive, and in many cases you will also be charged for receiving calls too.

Next time, do not let your mobile ruin your holiday, and make sure you are prepared. First talk to your existing network provider or have alook at their website. They are likely to offer some overseas tariff deals that could save you money.

Holiday SIM cards are a great way to save. You may have to have your phone unlocked to accept one of these, but when you do they offer hugely discounted call and text rates in most countries worldwide.
