MOBILE PHONES BILLS

Contracts.

You often pay a fixed monthly amount which allows you a certain number of minutes of phone calls and a certain number of text messages. You may have to pay extra if you exceed your limit.

Pat As You Go. 

You pay money in advance (sometimes by buying cards which allow you a certain amount of money on your phone). As soon as you have used up all your money, you have to buy more phone credit in advance.

Remember.

Text messages are usually cheaper to send that making phone calls.

The best deal?

A tariff is a way of paying to use a mobile phone. The best tariff depends on how many minutes you use your phone for and what time of the day you use the phone.
