Follow on Google News | Mobile Phones – Watchdog Calls for Greater Customer ChoiceT-Mobile is stopping its 12-month pay-monthly tariffs in the next month.
By: Nick Wilkins Many of the high-end mobile phones (http://www.foneshop.com) Nick Hutton, Consumer Focus telecommunications expert, said: “We need to see mobile-phone companies offering a range of contract-lengths, which suit consumers' needs, rather than the existing trend towards longer contracts. Longer contracts may limit consumer choice and could potentially lead to higher prices for consumers. “Longer contracts suit some customers and allow providers to offer discounts on handsets. However customers who find they need to leave their contract may face high termination charges. If consumers are tied into such contracts and rarely switch it may also give less incentive for suppliers to offer the best price deal.” One of the last remaining 12-month pay-monthly contracts exists as part of Tesco Mobile’s iPhone marketing push. Nevertheless there is a definite worrying trend towards two-year contracts, with both mobile phones manufacturers and carriers using the extended contracts to subsidise the cost of the high-end handsets. With top-of-the-range smartphones now vastly attractive to the mobile phone consumer market, mobile phone accessories (http://www.foneshop.com) are also becoming a vastly in-demand commodity. The ability to purchase data leads to connect information between smartphones and PC’s and laptops and the numerous Bluetooth connectivity products, means data transfer has never been easier – despite the lack of tariff choice. # # # http://www.Foneshop.com stock a fantastic range of Mobile Phone Accessories to suit all models of mobile phone.
