Mobile phones are growing more and more expensive. With top of the range smartphone handsets costing upwards of £400, it may be tempting to downgrade, to go for something simpler and cheaper.

You may convince yourself that there’s not much to miss out on – a cheaper handset will be perfectly functional, of course, and you can make calls and send texts – that’s all that phones are for, right? Well not any more. If you choose not to try out one of the brilliant, high tech smartphones out there nowadays, you are not only missing out on an opportunity to familiarise yourself with popular developing technology – you are also missing out on the generous offer of free gifts that come with the majority of expensive handsets.

Many mobile phone retailers are now offering incentives such as free gifts, to try to get you to try out their smartphone handsets. One example of this can be seen at Phones4u.

  1. When I got my phone, there was quite a few places offering free gifts like PS3s but I was a bit worried that they would somehow rope you in to something more expensive to make their money back. I’d be interested in hearing from people that have signed up for this contract on whether it ended up costing them more than they originally thought it would.

    I’m tempted to switch to GiffGaff when my contract expires because there’s no contract and the’re crazy cheap.

      Good luck with your switch, as you say, make sure there are ‘no strings attached’ and if not, get yourself a PS3!

  2. Kindle 3G as a free gift? Wow, that’s generous! I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 last week but sadly the free gifts I’ve got were just a leather cover and a handsfree kit. I even had to buy its’ screen protector. Sigh…

      Oh well, at least you got a leather cover and handset! Better than nothing 🙂

      It does make me wonder why they don’t provide screen protectors with most MP3 players, tablets, phones etc. everyone seems to buy one after, why not include it in the product?

      I am not sure about that Nika, it is possible I suppose. I think the mobile phone dealers have special contracts with other electronics firms like Sony, Samsung, Apple, etc. so they probably get the products discounted in some way 🙂
