Everyone knows about the Carphone Warehouse. It has stores all over the country and it also has an efficient and well laid out website to explore as well. And in fact when it comes to finding the right mobile phone for you, you will always find it easier to start searching online first.
So if you are ready you can start looking right now.
How do I find the website?
Their website is at the following URL – www.carphonewarehouse.com.
What sections are available on the site?
You will see a dark strip across the top of the screen, just underneath the Carphone Warehouse logo. This contains links to all the main areas of the site, and as such you will be able to get access to all their mobile phones, plus upgrades, from this bar.
But there is more than that on offer too. You will soon notice that when you go to click on the mobile phones section, you will see a drop down menu appear in front of you. Do you see the Pay As You Go and monthly contract phones in there? Just make your choice from the list and carry on.
Does it have plenty of contracts on offer?
Yes there are lots of different contracts available here on all kinds of different phones. What you will also notice is that there are lots of different lengths of contract available too. When we visited the site there were some that lasted just a month, whereas they also had twelve, eighteen, twenty four and thirty six month options as well.
Moving onto the Pay As You Go offers, there are plenty of different phones you can buy to use in conjunction with this deal. They come from a lot of different manufacturers as well, so you will enjoy reading through them all.
What networks are they geared up for?
When you have a look at all the tariffs available for the monthly contracts, you will see the logos for the networks down the left hand side. This will enable you to spot such well known names as Orange, T-Mobile, Talk Mobile and others as well.
Are there a lot of different mobile phones on offer? Do they provide a lot of information about each one?
There are certainly a lot of phones here, from smart phones to much more basic ones. The listings for the phones utilise tabs and charts to make the information easier to access. The summary is basic but you can often expand it to read more. In addition make sure you look for the 3D view as it is very neat and gives you an idea of how the whole phone looks.
If you select the features tab you can also see what to expect from the phone as a whole. Hover your mouse over the question mark and you can read more about each aspect of the handset. There are also a range of other sections on this page that you can expand to read more about, so make sure you don’t miss anything.
There is also an accessories section but you don’t get these things with the phone – you get them if you buy them separately. And finally you can find out what is in the box with the phone itself when you click that option.
Very usefully the logos for the networks that are available with that phone are included underneath that box. You can then scroll down to read the choices you can make on tariffs and deals.
How easy is it to order a new mobile phone online?
Deciding which deal you want to stick with is harder than actually purchasing it, which is probably quite lucky! You can view the deal you are interested in and then it is a simple matter of looking for the order now button. Once you have found that you can click on it and add it to your online basket.
Once you are done choosing and you have the phone and the contract you want, just go to the checkout and complete your order with Carphone Warehouse.
In conclusion
The Carphone Warehouse is a great place to go if you want some expert advice and a comprehensive range of deals and phones. But there is a lot to be said for choosing online, because it does make life easier. You can browse at your leisure and find what you want – and then buy it in a matter of moments.
