Pros and Cons of contracts with no upfront cost

Pros and Cons of phone contracts with no upfront cost

The main pro of picking up a contact with no upfront cost is that there’s no need to put down a lump sum to begin with, and you can spread the cost more evenly over the course of your contract. Many customers use this option as a way to finance handsets with a more premium value.

When it comes to cons, you may notice that not paying an upfront cost means that your monthly line rental will be higher. This is because you still have to pay back the full value of the handset plus your monthly allowances over the course of the contract.

FAQS

Is it cheaper to get a phone contract with an upfront cost?

Yes, it can be cheaper in the long run to select a deal with an upfront cost. When you select a handset with an upfront cost, this can equate to cheaper line rental, and less to pay overall.

Can I get a phone contract with bad credit and no upfront cost?

All contracts are subject to credit check, and we’re unable to predict any outcome. Customers with poor credit may choose to select a SIM-only deal, or a contract with a larger upfront cost.

Is it better to pay for a contract upfront or monthly?

This is down to personal preference. With no upfront cost, you can receive a new handset without an initial payment. With an upfront cost however, you may save money in the long run.

Can I get a free phone without a credit check?

Unfortunately not. If you wish to pick up a handset without undergoing a credit check, you could do so by purchasing a SIM-free phone, and combining it with a separate SIM card.
