How can the phone be free?
Mobile phones can cost up to several hundred pounds but you can get them for free. This is because the network you connect to signs you up for a 12 month contract and so is guaranteed 12 months of your business. The network then subsidises the cost of the phone, sometimes up to 100%.

Is there a contract?
You will usually be required to sign up for a 12 month minimum contract. After that it is generally 30 days notice if you wish to cancel.

What should I look out for?
Make sure you get a tariff that suits you. There's no point in having 750 off-peak minutes every month if all your calls are made peak time. Think about how you'll use the phone and work out the best economy tariff.

What kind of mobile can I get?
This usually depends on the retailer and the tariff you sign up to. Almost all phones can be found free if you search round all the retailers. Even phones like the Motorola T720i or the Nokia 8310 are available. Have a look here to see what free mobile phones are available.

Is there a credit check?
Yes, you will usually have to pass a credit check before your phone is despatched. If you don't have good credit, you'll have to look into buying a pay-as-you-go phone.

Can I get an upgrade?
As long as you have been in your current contract for over 12 months you can usually get an upgrade, often for free. Check with retailers or with your network, as they often have great deals.

Where can I get a free mobile phone?
Almost all retailers will have some kind of mobile phones for free. SHop around to get the best deal and tariff. If you don't know where to start, click here for free mobile phones.
