The wise person will choose a mobile phone plan that delivers exactly what he or she needs at the right price irrespective of the type of mobile phone on offer. With all those different plans and companies trying to convince you to go with them, you may be forgiven for feeling a little confused by it all but some research will make things clearer.
Of course if you are a heavy user then a monthly mobile phone plan may be a better option for you. There are many plans available today, in fact some change by the day so you would be wise to look carefully, especially at those with a monthly agreement.
Just to confuse you more packages that are designed for your geographic location are available in addition to those based on families. As with all things they all have plus points and minus points.
You will often find that monthly schemes provide a better specification phone than the pay as you go mobile phones, with more services available to them. If you run a large business, you would not want a family type package as you might find it to restrictive for what you require.
For the family user, mobile phone usage discounts are included if you call members of the family that you list on the same bill. Family plans often include airtime discounts for members of this type of family plan.
Of course national mobile phone plans will include free calls anywhere in the country. Fortunately, you will not be charged for roaming calls when you have this type of plan and of course is very popular with anyone who travels a great deal, whether for work or pleasure.
For regional use free national calls do not apply but you may find it's unlikely you will be charged full price for the airtime used. Prepaid mobile phone plans are often the preferred type for travelers and business people as the traditional plan without roaming and long-distance charges might be best.
One final note; your health is more important than the fact that people can reach you whenever they feel the need, so do yourself a favor and do not let people disturb you when you are having quality private time, so try switching your mobile phone off occasionally.
