Max Beckett, Uswitch telecoms expert comments, “There are some impressive broadband and mobile deals to snatch up this week, alongside some great perks, from free coffee, Disney+ access, and cinema tickets. If you’re out of contract, now is the ideal time to shop around.
“If you’re unsure when your current contract ends, try to find the original emails or letters you would have received when signing up. If you’re unable to find these, get in touch with your provider who should be able to help.
"If your mobile contract is coming to an end, but you want to keep your current phone, a SIM only deal could save you around £335 per year[1].” And late summer holiday-makers could save on EU roaming costs by bagging a Lebara SIM only deal for just £2.73 for the first 3 months.
"Plus, with premium handsets like the Apple iPhone 14 and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra on offer for more affordable rates, it's easy to be enticed by a high-end smartphone. However, it's always wise to think about your individual needs for a mobile package before making a decision, so you can avoid overpaying for features, data or storage that you won't fully use.
“Reliable Wi-Fi is more important than ever, particularly with the rise of remote working. Choosing a broadband plan with faster speeds could be a great call, especially if you find one that’s available for a better price than your current deal.”
