How it works
Three things other comparison sites don't do
We read the whole bill
Every deal is shown as a receipt: upfront fee, each monthly payment, and the true total. If the advertised price hides an upfront charge, we flag it.
Ranked by what you really pay
Deals are sorted by true monthly cost — the whole bill spread over the term — so the cheapest-looking deal only wins if it really is cheapest.
Contract or buy outright?
On every phone we price the same handset bought outright plus the cheapest matching SIM plan, and tell you which way works out cheaper.
The headline trap, live
The cheapest-looking deals, and what they really cost
The lowest monthly price for each of these phones comes with a big upfront fee. Spread over the contract, here is the real monthly cost.

Contract or outright?
Right now, the contract wins on 49 of 64 phones
The old rule was "buy the phone outright and add a cheap SIM". On today's prices, retailers are subsidising handsets hard enough that a contract is often cheaper — but not always. We run the numbers on every phone page, like for like on storage and data.
