Uswitch services are provided at no cost to you, but we may receive a commission from the companies we refer you to. If a deal is "promoted" on Uswitch's tables, then it has been lent additional visibility as a result of us securing exclusivity on a great deal, or a commercial agreement to showcase what we believe to be market-leading value to consumers. Learn more about how our site works.
Please note: Mobile networks may increase monthly prices in line with the retail or consumer price index each year during the length of your contract. Please refer to individual network's terms and conditions before signing up.
Finding a great mobile phone deal doesn't just mean getting the cheapest call and text bundle. For a lot of us, it's about having the perfect mobile phone handset for our needs.
The perfect handset could have anything from a great camera, bright and detailed screen, a long battery life or 5G. One thing's for sure, we'd all like our mobile phone handsets to be free when we sign up for a mobile phone contract.
The latest mobile phone statistics from our Uswitch study shows that over 50% of people surveyed would consider changing their mobile phone purely based on factors surrounding cost.

Not all mobile handsets will be free, even with a pay monthly contract option. Some of the newest phones on the market may come at a small upfront cost, even with a 24 month contract.
You will find with most mobile networks that the range of free mobile phones available will depend largely on the monthly price you are prepared to pay for your contract.
Here are the mobile networks that let you get a phone & mobile contract for no upfront fee.
O2 offers all the latest phones with a wide range of contract deals.
As with other providers, if you're looking to get your hands on the very latest mobile phone handset, you may have to pay a little more for your monthly contract to get a free phone.
From Apple and Google to Sony and Samsung, you can get loads of the top brand mobile phones for free with Three. With price-plans starting at just £13 per month you can choose a great camera phone, a touchscreen phone or even one of the latest smartphones for free.
Vodafone offers some great free mobile phone deals, with some of the latest touchscreen handsets free if you pay as little as £13 per month for your contract. Ranged Vodafone phones include Apple iPhones, Android mobiles and attractive mid-range models from many top smartphone makers.
EE offers plenty of free mobile phones with their contract deals, with the model of free handset depending on the tariff for which you sign-up. With EE you can get a free mobile phone from as little as £14 a month.
