Have these handy

Not essential, but a rough idea helps the advisor give you useful answers.

  • Roughly when your current contract started
  • Your current monthly cost
  • Your phone's model and condition
  • A budget you're comfortable with
  • Features that matter most to you

How a call works

Most calls take between ten and twenty minutes, depending on how many options you want to talk through.

1

Tell us about your situation

Share what you know about your current phone, your contract and what you'd like from your next handset.

2

Go through your options

The advisor explains the types of handsets and plans that may suit your budget, including upfront and monthly costs.

3

Decide in your own time

There is nothing to sign on the call. Compare the information with your current deal and act only if it suits you.

Topics we can help with

Our advisors focus on the questions people most often have when an upgrade is coming up.

Upgrade timing

Understanding when your contract allows an upgrade, and what changes if you upgrade early instead of waiting for the end date.

Comparing handsets

Weighing up screen size, camera, battery life and storage against the price difference between models.

Monthly costs

Separating the cost of the handset from the cost of your airtime so you can see what you are actually paying for.

Trade-ins and SIM-only

Whether trading in your old phone, keeping it, or moving to a SIM-only plan could make more sense for you.

Things to check before you upgrade

Whether or not you call us, these points are worth checking with your provider before you agree to a new contract.

Your contract end date
Upgrading before your minimum term ends can mean paying the remaining months or an early upgrade fee. Your provider can confirm your exact date.
Handset and airtime costs
Many UK contracts now show the device cost and the airtime cost separately. Once a device plan is paid off, the handset part of the bill should stop.
Annual price rises
Most contracts include a yearly price change. Check how it is calculated so you know what you'll pay in years two and three.
Trade-in conditions
Trade-in values usually depend on the phone's condition once it is inspected. Back up your data and remove your accounts before sending a device.
Your right to cancel
If you buy a phone or plan online or by phone, UK consumer law usually gives you 14 days to change your mind. Check the seller's terms for details.

How our service is paid for

We don't charge callers for our advice. You only pay your normal call charges to your own phone provider.

If you choose to buy a phone or plan from a retailer we tell you about, we may receive a referral fee from that retailer. This doesn't change the price you pay, and you are free to buy from anyone you like.

Frequently asked questions

We don't charge for our advice. 0330 numbers are charged at the same rate as standard UK landline numbers (01 and 02) and are normally included in inclusive minutes. If you are unsure, check with your phone provider.
