You might think from the name of this website that all they sell is pre-paid phones instead of a wider choice. But there is a lot more in store for you here whatever it is you might want, so the best thing is to take a closer look at their range of offers.
How do I find the website?
Their website is at www.prepaymania.co.uk.
What sections are available on the site?
There are half a dozen or so choices at the top of the home page, which include the regular Pay Monthly and Pay As You Go options. In addition to this you have SIM free and accessories as other choices.
But down the side of the website there are other choices which could save you a lot of time if you know exactly what you want. For example the pre-pay Pay As You Go section is divided up into several different types of phone. This means you can pick just what you need if you have a firm idea of what you want in advance.
Does it have plenty of contracts on offer?
There isn’t a huge choice of Pay Monthly mobiles here, because this is first and foremost a site for Pay As You Go deals. But there is a handful and you can refine the search you are making using the links at the top of the page.
When it comes to Pay As You Go phones, you can choose from lots of different ones. They start from the cheapest one and go down to the most expensive, so you shouldn’t need to look far if you want something on a small budget.
What networks are they geared up for?
The monthly phones are all on the 3 network, so there isn’t a big choice of options here! But when it comes to the Pay As You Go phones of course, you are just buying the phone itself. You will need to check to see which network it is compatible with, and whether or not it is unlocked as a result.
When you read the details that come with each phone on the site, you will see that the title of the phone tells you at the end which network it is available for. You will see the manufacturer of the phone, the model number or name and then the network that applies to that phone. Make sure you check that this is what you want before you buy it. You should see Orange, T-Mobile, Virgin and many more.
Are there a lot of different mobile phones on offer? Do they provide a lot of information about each one?
Yes, the Pay As You Go section does have plenty of mobiles you can choose from. Samsung, Nokia, LG, BlackBerry and many more are available to buy if you wish. You can search by the manufacturer if you find it easier; or additionally by price if you want to keep costs down.
If you click through to the details you will see an introductory paragraph next to the picture of the mobile phone. Hover your mouse over that picture and it will enlarge next to where your mouse is!
If you then scroll down you will find a bullet point description of the phone, which should help you to make a buying decision. Keep on scrolling and all the features of the mobile phone will be included on that same page as well. You will find that nothing is left out here – the product pages tend to be very long but they are also easily readable and the content isn’t too heavy that you cannot take it all in.
How easy is it to order a new mobile phone online?
It’s very simple when you go and buy a phone on the Pre Pay Mania website. Do you see where the picture of the phone is on the product page? Next to that there should be a Buy Now button. That takes you straight into your basket and you can then see your various checkout options.
It is very well laid out and you can see at a glance what everything means and what any additional charges are for.
In conclusion
Pre Pay Mania is clearly better for you if you want to get a Pay As You Go phone rather than be tied to a monthly contract. But they do have some monthly contracts here so do be sure to take a look at those too.
