Anyone who wants to get a phone plan in the UK today is spoiled for choice. This should not worry you, though, because you have several approaches to getting just the right plan. Let's consider your options.

You can choose a perfect monthly mobile plan by going for the network that you prefer. Top network to consider are 3, O2, Orange, Virgin, Vodafone, or T-Mobile. These have different sets of mobile plans but a typical deal that any network will offer will give you a handset and a set of free mobile credits every month.

You can also choose a pay monthly plan according to the handset of your choice. Major phone brands offered with deals today are Blackberry, Apple, HTC, Alcatel, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Dell, and ZTE. Options range from affordable models to some that are quite pricey. If you have been thinking of getting a touchscreen smartphone, going for a pay monthly plan is a great way to get that handset for free or for a cheap price.

Another way for you to pick the right plan is to consider the contract length. Most plans offered today come with 18 or 24-month terms. Some have 12-month terms. Just a reminder, though, a shorter deal will most likely require a pricier monthly fee from you or a higher handset fee. But if you don't want to be tied down to a long contract, you have plenty of 12-month deals to consider.
