Most consumers could save money by switching to another mobile phone operator. BillMonitor, a new service approved by Ofcom, found that 82% of consumers don’t use the minutes they’re paying for on their plans.

Indeed, it’s estimated that on average mobile users could save £197 a year if they switched to a more suitable plan. That would add up to a total saving of about £4 billion for all UK mobile phone users!

The problem is there are around 120,000 different tariff variations being offered. BillMonitor's price comparison website however will help you find the best plan by searching across the five network operators - 3, O2, Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone.

Simply enter your phone bill details at www/billmonitor.com and it will provide you with an individual proposal that’s right for you.

Research undertaken by Ofcom found that 57% of mobile users were more likely to shop around if they can calculate who is the cheapest operator based on their personal usage.

BillMonitor is a free service that will help consumers get the best plan, lowering the cost of their monthly bills based on up to date and accurate data.
