Continually switch mobile provider

greencode

I'd like to start switching my mobile phone provider to continually get the best deal each year/18 months. There are so many cashback offers to be had on dialaphone, e2save etc that I thought it was silly not to.

What I'm wondering though is whether mobile phone companies let you do this? For example, I'm currently with Vodafone - can I then switch to Vodafone again if I find a better deal (with free phone) on another site? Or can I switch from Vodafone to o2 then back again to Vodafone the following year?

I hope this makes sense - basically like switching credit card companies to get the best deal but with a phone

As long as you meet their requirements (credit check etc) there is no problem.

Another example: If I were to take a 12 month deal with Dialaphone and then at the end of that 12 month contract I find another deal on Dialaphone could I then take up that new deal once the original 12 month contract comes to an end?

Yes (same proviso re credit checks etc)

The only thing you can't do is keep the same number unless you change providers ie you cant take out another O2 contract and keep the number but you can if you go from o2 to say Orange.

Arh, yes good point. So you would have to continually switch providers - which I don't see being a problem as they all have great offers on all of the time.

Don't forget also to use cashback sites like Quidco. if, for example, you apply online via the Quidco website to Vodafone for a contract or sim they will pay you £90 or more(although sometimes there can be delays). And you must go to Vodafone online VIA THE QUIDCO WEBSITE. Though of course in this instance you could not get cashback
