Is the future pay as you go?

As the economic forecast goes markedly downhill, is it time to finally switch to pay as you go mobile phones? Before you make that decision you should be reminded that pay as you go can be a lot more expensive if you are intending to continue using your mobile phone at the same rate as usual. It may be actually worth considering continuing with one of the cheap mobile phone contracts that are available in the UK at the moment. Another aspect to consider is your broadband needs. It may be cheaper to get yourself one of the latest mobile broadband offers, that come with a free laptop, instead of sticking to your standard broadband internet connection. This could save you money if you are a light user, however it should be remembered that there are fairly strict bandwidth limits associated with this kind of option.
