When looking for a new mobile phone contract or tariff it is important to know if you are going to be using it mainly for texts (MMS messages) or for talking. All the main mobile phone network operators in the UK offer tariffs for both texters and talkers.

It can also been very handy to know what you want from your mobile phone. You may want a good camera phone and MP3 phone or just a basic mobile handset.

Once you have chosen what you think you want then find the ideal contract for you. This is where budget mobile phones can help.
