Are SIM only mobiles the way to cut your bills?
The recession has made millions of Britons strive for ways to cut their outgoings. This has manifested in many ways, from switching supermarkets to visit those more suited to shoppers on a budget and investing in a bicycle to avoid escalating petrol prices - a move that also helps to reduce our carbon footprint and increase fitness, as well as give our wallets a break - to examining household utility bills to see which ones can be scrimped on.

Checking out your monthly outgoings is a fantastic way to combat the recession. Nobody likes to spend money they needn't be spending and, when it comes to utility bills, it could very easily be the case that you are spending more than you have to. Many people discover that the prices they're paying for gas, electricity and entertainments like television and internet could be far lower if they switched to a cheaper option, or changed providers all together.

The same goes for mobile phones. If your bills is a little steeper than you'd like it to be, you can cut it drastically without putting in too much effort. For example, can you get a similar deal with a different provider? Is it cheaper to go without upgrading for a while? Or are you better off altogether ditching your current contract and opting for a SIM only deal?

SIM only deals are just that - you sign up to a contract and receive your SIM card for insertion into your own phone. As the seller does not have to provide you with a new handset (because even though they are advertised as 'free', you often end up paying for them with your contract fees), you can make the most of immediate savings and cheaper monthly outgoings.

What's more, if you're really hoping to save cash, you can switch to a pay as you go mobile phone and make the most of having strict control over exactly how much you spend. If you only want to spend £10 a month on your mobile phone, you can simply avoid topping up until 30 days have passed. If this is your plan, it could be worth checking out service providers for a great deal on <a onClick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="sim">http://www.tesco.com/mobilenetwork/homepage.aspx?page=3">sim cards</a> that'll provide you with free texts and/or minutes to help you really save.

It's easy to save on your mobile phone bills, as well as your other bills. It just takes a little planning and the time to switch to cheaper options and you could find your personal recession easing off a bit.
