While most commercial enterprises in the UK are battling to stay afloat in the midst of the current recessionary climate, the mobile phones market is one that appears to be practically recession-proof. Despite the comparative reduction in the disposable income available to the majority of consumers in Britain, the appetite for the latest upgraded mobile phone models produced by the major manufacturers such as Apple, Nokia, Samsung and Blackberry, remains strong. It is in enabling people to afford these, by offering deals and discounts, that sites such as Dialaphone have become such a success story.

Dialaphone has been in existence for fifteen years, having begun in 1995 as a small company employing a handful of people, and is a member of the 4u group, which means that the company has the clout and reputation within the industry to be able to develop the kind of relationships with the major mobile phone manufacturers that allow them to provide the best deals on the new phones produced by these manufacturers. Currently Dialaphone offers a number of different types of deals on the latest mobile phone models, including Auto Cashback deals, SIM only deals and pay as you go deals, alongside a variety of free gifts – generally gadgets – available exclusively to those purchasing through their phone through Dialaphone.

In terms of tariffs the company again provides deals and offers via most of the major mobile phone networks, including Orange, Vodaphone, O2 and T-Mobile, with the deals that will be best for each consumer depending on what they primarily use their mobile phone for – as this will determine whether the free texting limit is a more important part of the deal than the rate at which phone calls are charged, as these options can vary considerably depending on the particular tariff that the consumer chooses to opt for.
