New Contract
Each year people waste millions of pounds on paying more for mobile phone contracts than they should and despite this only 12% of pay monthly customers switch to a new contract. At Carphone Warehouse we believe switching and getting better connected should be great value for customers.
We embrace Ofcom’s proposals for making it easier for consumers to switch mobile networks. We want to live in a world where it’s simple and easy for consumers to switch; removing any hassle; saving them time and money and always giving them access to the latest technology.
Whether you want to save money, need a new handset, are struggling with poor signal strength or are just fed up with the level of service you are getting, Carphone Warehouse can get you better connected. At Carphone Warehouse we compare, you save.
Find out more about how we can help you save - not just your phone or sim only plan, but broadband, TV and home phone bills too!
Switching with Carphone Warehouse is simple - available in-store, online and over the phone. We compare all the biggest deals to make sure you’ve got the best choice of what’s on offer. And when you do switch with us, you save cash, leaving you with extra to spend on our great range of gadgets and accessories.
If you’re unsure which network offers the best coverage in your local area, we’ve got a handy tool to help you. Use the RootMetrics mobile coverage checker to compare the network’s signal strength in your area. Once you've found network you can check our pay monthly deals.
Wondering if you’ll have to lose the phone number you’ve had for the past ten years? Thankfully keeping the same number you’ve skilfully managed to memorise has never been easier.
All you need to do is speak to a member of Carphone Warehouse’s in-store staff when changing networks, and mention your PAC code. This code enables you to transfer your number over, and you’ll be able to get it from your current provider.
If your current pay monthly phone plan is coming to an end, switching to SIM Only could be the right choice.
All pay monthly mobile phone contracts have one thing in common. When you’ve paid for your phone in full and you arrive at your contract end date, you’re then completely free to switch to another deal. A lot of mobile phone owners choose a SIM Only contract at this point, for a number of reasons. Before we get to those, we’ll explain exactly what a SIM Only contract is.
You can easily check if you’re eligible to switch to a SIM Only deal. Simply go to our Upgrade Checker and fill in your details. We’ll let you know straight away if you can upgrade today.
