Free Mobile Phones – Upgrades

Mobile phone upgrades are easy to do – if you know where and how to do it.

A “mobile phone upgrade” is where an existing customer of a network (eg T-Mobile, Vodafone, Orange, O2, 3G, Virgin etc), who has been with that network for about 1 year since getting their last mobile phone, gets a new mobile phone from the network at a free, or cheap discount price, in return for agreeing to stay with that network for another 12 months, under a 12 month contract agreement. The customer keeps their existing mobile phone number, and stays with the same network. This is called a “mobile phone upgrade” – often it is a free mobile phone upgrade!

To get the best offer for a free or cheap mobile phone upgrade you must understand this. The mobile phone networks pay a mobile phone dealer more for a new customer (new mobile phone contract) than they do for a mobile phone upgrade customer. This odd situation has been the same for many years. The only network that seems to pay mobile phone dealers nearly as much for an upgrade customer as for a new free mobile phone customer is Three (also known as 3 or 3G). The other mobile hone networks simply do not seem to value their existing customers as much!

The craziness of this situation is that it encourages you to be disloyal to your current network.

What does this means to you? How can you get the best deal from knowing all this, so you can get a free mobile phone upgrade AND get other benefits? Read on

The amount that a mobile phone dealer can give to you will depend on how much money he is making. If he is making more money from a ‘new’ mobile phone contract customer than for an upgrade customer, then he will be able to give the ‘new’ mobile phone contract customer a bigger discount or a free mobile phone or maybe more!

Now, did you know that instead of upgrading your phone on the same network (where you probably will not get such a good deal or a free mobile phone etc), you can switch to a NEW and different network AND keep your existing mobile phone number? This is true.

Now, knowing that you can keep your mobile phone number, and that you can usually get a better deal as a ‘new’ customer on another network, what are you going to do?

You can simply become a ‘new’ customer on a different network this new network then treat you as a new customer, give you all the free mobile phone bonuses and gifts etc, AND you keep your mobile phone number!

So by simply looking around at all the offers available to you on all the other networks

The next article will tell you how you can get an even better deal

Free Mobile Phones – How to get an even better Upgrade

Before you take the jump and switch to a different network for your free mobile phone upgrade, think about this

Imagine you call your current network to tell them that you are thinking of leaving them to switch to another mobile network. Often that person you speak to will be on a commission to keep your business ie they will earn a bit of money if they can convince you to stay with that mobile phone network.

This means that you can use this to your advantage.

Tell them that you have had a great offer from another network (and do not lie – they will most likely know exactly what you could and could not get with another network). Simply ask them if they can equal or better the deal offered by this other network.

If they can equal it, then it is probably not worth the hassle of switching mobile phone networks and the paperwork. It is not too much hassle to do the switch but obviously it is easier to stay with your current mobile phone network.

Free mobile phone upgrades can be got in this way quite easily by simply understanding how the system works and how the money works in mobile phones and free mobile phone upgrades.

So next time, simply ask you current mobile phone network if they will better the free mobile phone offer from another network. Always ask if they can better the offer – don’t ask them to equal it or they will only equal it.

Good luck.

Free Mobile Phone Upgrades – WHERE to get them?

Free mobile phone upgrades can be SO easy to get, and get with fantastic bonus gift offers, when you do it right.

But WHERE do you go to get the best deal?

If you are going to stay with your current network because you KNOW that they are giving you the best offer, then the ‘where’ question is easily answered.

But first you need to make sure there is not a better deal available from other networks and other mobile phone dealers – don’t forget – one dealer might give you a better offer than another dealer for the same network – simply because that dealer wants your business more and is prepared to give away more of his commission to you as a bonus gift to get you to sign the mobile phone contract deal.

It is important that you get the right offer for YOU. A camera phone may be the best thing for one person, but totally unnecessary for another. 1000 free minutes may be great for one person, but totally over the top for another.

So first you must check what you want and need, for both the phone and the price plan (also known as mobile phone tariff).

A good site to start with that offers top offers on all the different mobile phone networks and allows you to choose phones and price plans based on different criteria, is

http://www.mobile-phone-upgrade.com

The list of the top 5 sites to start with are

1. Carphonewarehous.com

2. www.mobile-phone-upgrade.com

3. thelink.com

4. /www.2u.co.uk

5. Phones4u.com

Use these sites to get a list of the best offers for the phone you want with the price plan you want.

Then rewrite this list with the best offer for your free mobile phone at the top, and the rest in rank order.

Now simply call your network and see if they will better the offer at the top of your list of free mobile phone upgrade offers!
