With these questions you will find the right offer
Not without my mobile phone - and everywhere attract contracts and offers. But which mobile phone contract suits me? Answer the following questions and find the perfect offer for your needs.
They have to ask themselves these questions:
1. Prepaid or two-year contract?
Anyone who only sends around ten SMS every month and does not phone for more than half an hour does not need a two-year contract. Cheaper is a prepaid card from the discounter (eg Aldi, Tchibo, Lidl). Number and card remain the same as a fixed contract. But we load the credit as needed at the cash register. So we are more flexible than with long contract terms.
2. Smartphone or key cell phone?
If we prefer to read the paper in the subway and bus, instead of surfing the internet with our mobile phone, a traditional touch-tone telephone is enough. Although these models are becoming rarer, they still exist, even for less than 20 euros. It offers a prepaid card or for frequent users a flatrate without internet.
3. Surf the web with your mobile phone?
This works best with an Allnet-Flat. For a fixed amount we can make unlimited calls to all networks. And for the internet we have a certain volume of data available every month. Those who only read and send e-mails on their mobile phone, for the rich 50 megabytes (MB) per month. Video fans, however, need more. A single Youtube movie already needs about 15 MB. When the volume is exhausted, we will be surfing slower for the rest of the month. Around 350 MB are already included in the low rates.
4. Mobile phone with contract or separately?
In a two-year contract, you can order the same mobile phone, payable in installments over 24 months. For a smartphone then come together quickly 700 euros. There would be the same model in the electronics store and often cheaper without a contract. So buy the phone better serparat. Important: Pay attention to the suffix "without SIM-Lock". Only then does it work with SIM cards from all mobile service providers.
5. Which provider?
If we are mostly in cities, we can use most providers without any problems. If we live in the countryside, there can be reception problems. The best are then the D networks of the Telekom and Vodafone.
6. Contract in the business?
The advantage: Here we have a direct contact. When concluding the contract on the Internet, however, we can save, for. B.'s free minutes or discounts on the basic fee. Pay attention to the fine print: Sometimes after one year the monthly fixed price increases.
