About HandsetExpert

What is HandsetExpert?

HandsetExpert is a recommendation platform that specialises in providing advice and finding great deals for mobile phones & tariffs.

We provide useful, unbiased, impartial information that will help you decide what phone, contract or deal to buy, and the best place to get it from.

We look at the best resources from across the web and combine this information into a single rating score and easy to read buyers’ guide for each handset.

We search UK retailers and networks to find the best deals and prices to suit your needs, no matter how you use your phone.

How does HandsetExpert operate?

We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information. Unlike some price comparison companies, we don't hide better deals or offers - if we have the data available to us, we will use it to find the find the best deals and offers for you.

How do we find and order the deals?

Our unique comparison engine is designed to help you find the lowest cost deals and offers from mobile networks and retailers in the UK by providing clear, simple information showing how much you’ll end up paying for your phone and tariff.

When it comes to pricing, we always show you:

• The amount you pay upfront
• The amount you pay each month
• The total cost of ownership for the duration of the contract
  • Total Cost of Ownership = upfront cost + (monthly payment x contract length in months)
• The average monthly cost
  • Average Monthly Cost = Total cost of ownership / contract length in months
