The findings seems pretty obvious really, those mobile users that have decided to stay on Prepay are generally low spenders, or those looking to have better control over their budget - so why would they try to save money by sticking to Prepay then fork out hundreds of pounds on a high end handset.
In February this year two thirds of all Prepay mobiles cost under £50, a year ago this total was under half the phones sold. So despite the fact that more mobiles are being sold the actual revenue for selling them has fallen by 14% in a year.
Retailers and networks alike have been competing to offer low cost Prepay mobiles, Orange have had a half price sale on for a few months now, supermarket chains such as ASDA, Tesco and even Argos have all recently reduced their Prepay mobiles.
If you are looking for a new Prepay mobile phone it is worth shopping around as some of the online retailers are offering basic but functional mobiles on Prepay for as low as £5.00. And if you are looking for something a bit more flashy as a mobile have a look in the clearance section - these phones are often as good as new but could be at a significant discount.
