Now that you have seen the MVNO providers that you can currently choose from ( as of November2014), if you still need some convincing to move across from a big name network and start savingmoney, read this blog: MVNO Explained: 10 reasons why to use unlocked cellphones on anMVNO.

Talking of unlocked cell phones, one of the beauties of using an MVNO is that you can choose only tobuy the SIM and then use it in your unlocked phone. This means that you're not forced to upgrade to anexpensive phone, and can either use your existing unlocked phone, or buy an unlocked cell phone ofyour choice.

Unlocked cell phones are almost always a lot cheaper than buying them from a big network (or evenan MVNO), so the way to save the most money is to go for a SIM-only MVNO package, and thenpurchase an unlocked cell phone separately.

AMGOO's range of affordable smartphones are a great starting point. They'll work with your MVNO
