If you have to choose between pay as you go or a contract for your mobile then you may find the choice a little bit difficult. Not everyone will want to make the same choice or would even be able to make the same choice as it will all depend on personal circumstances. But getting locked into a contract that you are not happy with is one thing you should avoid if possible. What follows are just a few things that are worth considering before making this decision between the two options.

- How much do you plan to use the mobile phone? Pay and go is probably the best choice for you if you don't spend a lot of time making calls every month. But if you think that you are going to be spending a lot of time on the phone then you may want to consider a contract as you will benefit from cheaper calls. Some people only want a mobile phone for others to be able to contact them and then pay as you go can be a good option.

- Quite a number of pay and go options require you to top up a certain amount each month so that you can continue to receive certain benefits and if you fail to do this the service will be lost. If you don't think that you are going to be using up all your credit within the month then you should try to choose a tariff which will allow you a longer time before you have to top up.

- Sometimes you might be better off choosing a contract if you plan on making a number of international calls. Check what deals are currently available for pay as you go and contract.

- There are also other things that you will need to consider such as texting and web usage if you plan on doing these. You can get a certain number of minutes online with some contract and many of them offer unlimited texts. You should look for a suitable contract which incorporates plenty of online minutes if your main priority is to be able to surf the net on your phone.
