Huawei P40 Pro Deals

The 2020 range of handsets from the genius of Huawei have been announced as the P40 series. There are five handsets, two with a higher spec than the standard model, and two below. The P40 Pro is one of the two highest specification handsets and features the latest in Huawei technology as well as a beautiful design and finish. It really is a stunning phone to look at, with an infinity style screen stretching out over the sides of the handset. There is a small oval shaped cut-out on the front for the dual selfie camera, and on the rear a very impressive oblong traffic light stack housing for five lenses. 

It is finished in glass front and back with an aluminium frame giving it the premium weight, look and feel we have come to expect. From the moment you take it out of the box you can feel the quality, and the technology inside stacks up nicely to match. If you wish to learn more about what this phone has to offer why not have a look at our comprehensive review before making your mind up. We have reviewed all of the handsets giving you a chance to make an informed decision and compare them side-by-side.

In most cases a pay monthly contract will be cheaper than a pay-as-you-go Sim in the long run. It certainly makes affording one of the expensive flagship handsets possible, and you will have a fixed monthly payment that meets your budget. There are a few things to consider before you choose your contract, not least which provided you are going to look at. Although the coverage we have in the UK is very good from all providers, some are better in certain areas than others. 

It is worth doing a postcode search to check what coverage you will get in the locations you visit most from your home to work et cetera. Once you know which providers to look at you will still find a wide range of choice on offer with everybody having something different to tempt you. 

The next thing you need to do is make sure you understand how a pay monthly contract is put together so that you can find the perfect deal for you. Your talk time and texts are one of the considerations, and you will normally find that an unlimited allowance comes with a reasonable price tag, so is certainly worth doing. It means you are not in any danger of talking too much or sending too many texts and ending up with extra charges.

What you need to consider is your data element, as this tends to come in capped allocations and should you happen to go over, your phone will still work but you will be charged at an expensive rate for any data not included in the contract. 

So, it is important to understand when you are using data so that you can best work out what allowance you might need. You will find some companies offering you the chance to carry forward any unused data into the next month, which could be useful in an emergency. However, most providers simply remove any unused data and start the clock again. Data is how do you connect to the Internet when you are not near a Wi-Fi connection. If your phone is showing for G or 5G on screen you are using data. 

Data is used for pretty much all processes that are not related to talk time and texts. Whether you are streaming movies, sending and receiving emails, or using your apps to play games you are likely to be connecting to the Internet. The amount of data each process uses does vary, so you need to work out what it is you do, and how often you do it.

Once you understand how the contract is put together you are in a stronger position to make sure you are getting the best of what is on offer. You will also find that you are offered many free gifts and extras, to try and tempt you to work with a specific provider. Use these to your advantage and see what is on offer. 

There are things like free gifts, including games consoles, tablets, charges, and headphones as well as access to subscription services like Amazon Prime Video, Apple Music, Spotify, sky sports and more. There is no catch with these gifts, so you may as well find the best for you. When it comes to picking the best contract you also want to be looking at the data to make sure you have what you calculated you need, and again you will find many different deals with the right amount of data from all of the providers. 

Another way providers can change the price you pay is to alter the contract length. Some providers only offer a standard two-year contract, but others are prepared to extend it over three in which case the monthly payments will be lower. Of course, you do need to remember that this means you are tied into the same provider for the whole period, and this means having the same handset. Breaking a mobile contract early is expensive and you will be charged a termination fee so it's best avoided. 

Another way to get your hands on the phone you have dreamed of is to purchase it as a Sim free deal. In this case you pay the retail value of the phone, and do not get a Sim card or any commitment to a contract. You are free to put whatever Sim card you like into the phone but bear in mind pay-as-you-go usually tends to work out more expensive in the end. Again, it is a competitive market so you will find plenty of deals on offer.
