unlocked mobile phones
is part of today's fast moving society. If you ever stop for a quick
breather and look back 10 years, do not you ever wonder how you managed
to live without a mobile phone?
Today, in you are running late
for a meeting, no one needs to be in doubt what is holding you or how
long it would be before you get there. If train is late, or children
need collecting or whatever, people just reach out for their pockets or
purses and make a quick phone call. Problem solved.
Because every one wants or needs a
bar phone,
lots of companies have entered into the market to provide them with
just that. A new industry has sprung up and developed fully in the last
10 years where none existed. Telecommunications industry directly
serving consumers with mobile phones is worth billions in most developed
countries.
Competition has kept the prices relatively low.
Mobile phones are within most peoples' reach, whether you want a mobile
phone tariff on a fix term 12 or 18 month contract or on pay as you use
terms.
But the competition has increased complexity that often
comes when lots of companies are vying for consumer's attention and
therefore offering hi or her with lots of choices. For example, there
are 7 main mobile phone operators, including Vodafone, Orange and
T-Mobile. They control their mobile phone frequencies and charge people
for the use of the air time. To enable people to do so, they bundle the
air time with mobile phones.
With an impressive number of
suppliers of mobile phone suppliers, consumer is spoilt for choice. The
manufactures of mobile phones include house hold names like Nokia, Sony
Ericsson and Motorola and others.
Following the classic
marketing, telecommunication companies have divided the consumers into
various segments. Examples may be teenagers, early 20s, in their 30s and
so on. From experience they know that teenagers' usage of mobile phone
is not the same as people in their late 20s and so on. So the package
targeted at teenagers may include features that they prefer but exclude
what is low on their priority list. Sounds logical, is not it?
It
is. But if we also look at how many other segments there are in the
market: professionals, travellers, business people, working women, house
wives, children, octogenarians and so on. They all have their own
requirements. A business person requires a tariff that allows him to
call anyone at any time during the day. Some people prefer to socialise
by having a long chat after finishing work. And some other people's
requirement never goes beyond an occasional 10 second call home to let
the other half know that train is running late.
To cater for varied requirements, handset manufacturers have responded by producing phones that cater for these segments.
If you have shopped around for a
wifi phone
recently, you may have noticed the variety of tariffs and phones. But
the complexity is much more complex than this. To entice consumers,
phone companies offer inducements like freebies in the form of extra
minutes in the first few months, half price line rental, free phone or
Bluetooth set and so on. Their affiliates may offer even different and
better, deals.
Can you see the complexity one faces when looking
for a perfect' phone and tariff combination. We did a market survey and
estimated that there are more than 20,000 mobile phones deal
combinations were available in UK alone at any one time.
Sifting
through all these deals for one that suits you best is like looking for a
needle in a haystack. There has to be a simple way. That is where
TopMobiles4u comes in.

I know the UK mobile phone
market inside out. Ever increasing choice was getting confusing even for
me. What about people who need to buy a mobile phone once in a while?
