It can often be difficult to try and narrow down the huge selection of mobile phones that are on the market today. But if the website you go to is well thought out and pleasant to navigate your way around, then you will definitely find the experience more enjoyable than you thought it would be!
So let’s take a look at the Dial a Phone website to see if it really does live up to those expectations.
How do I find the website?
You can locate the website at www.dialaphone.co.uk. Make sure you use the www otherwise it won’t find the website.
What sections are available on the site?
You will see a selection of tabs at the top of the page that will take you directly to the parts of the site you want to go to. For example you have tabs for contract mobile phones, upgrades and Pay As You Go.
But take a look at the side of the site as well, because you have more options there to consider. You can select specific networks or phone makers too if you wish.
Does it have plenty of contracts on offer?
Yes there are some really nice models here and you will see many of the latest and best ones available on the market today. They will also come with the best deals they can provide, so be sure to look through them all.
These are generally on eighteen or twenty four month contracts, although look closer as you can see all the deals available for each phone when you select a specific manufacturer. You will see the phone at the top of the page and you can then read more once you scroll down to see all the contracts that are available.
As for the Pay As You Go section, you will find good deals on a range of phones there. You just have to top them up with however much you want to load onto them.
What networks are they geared up for?
There is a section on the left right near the top of the page which lists all the available networks in it. You shouldn’t even have to scroll to see it.
And of course it contains all the best networks such as 3, O2 and Vodafone among others. Just go through to see which one you would like to use and you can look at call charges there as well.
Are there a lot of different mobile phones on offer? Do they provide a lot of information about each one?
The basic introduction to the phone comes in a small box on the screen. You will see the phone and some small bullet points giving you the low down on what to expect. If you like the sound of it and you also like the deal that is being offered with it – in the case of monthly contracts – then click through so you can find out more.
The next page on a contract option is a very basic product page which looks more like an actual shopping basket than anything else. But if you actually click on the item itself you will see a pop up product page. This shows you the phone in more detail and also provides a drop down tab so you can look at different images of the phone. This enables you to see what it looks like from every angle, which is very good indeed.
On the right you will find there is a list of features provided in a simple bullet point form. If you are the type of person that likes to see what is available and wants to know everything at a glance, then you will definitely love this!
Underneath the link to click on the phone details you can click on the reviews too – be sure to read these as they help get an idea of the phone itself.
How easy is it to order a new mobile phone online?
You will see a big order button on the far right of the listing for the phone you like, and you really can’t miss it because of its size and colour. Just click on it and the item will be in your basket. Just pay for it and then wait for delivery.
In conclusion
Dial a Phone is a good website with plenty of accessible features. If you need a new phone, this could be the place to get it from.
