Batter down mobile costs
Wed 8th October 2008
Anyone whose contract mobile deal's ending soon is holstering a serious Money Saving weapon as Jim Little, from Ayrshire, found to his benefit earlier this year.
That weapon is loyalty because mobile operators are desperate to keep you. You can save huge amounts by bullying your provider to give you an amazing deal simply by calling it up when your contract's shortly due to expire and threatening to leave.
Jim saved £200 a year combined on his and his wife’s mobile bills by doing just that. He was inspired after watching the last series of It Pays to Watch where Martin explained how to hammer down your mobile costs.
