Built-in Speakerphones

Most smart phones and modern mobile phones will have the option to set calls to speakerphone once you receive them.

It depends on the type of phone you have, but the recipients voice will be output through the phone’s speakers.

This is often not the best choice if you are driving, as it can be difficult to find somewhere to prop your phone unless you have a cradle for it.

Plus, you may have to speak loudly in order to be heard.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth headsets come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and will usually be part of a set which includes an earpiece.

The earpiece is meant to stay on your ear while you are traveling, and calls can be accepted either by pressing a button on your mobile itself, or by a dashboard-mounted button.

The more expensive the Bluetooth hands-free kit, the better the quality of the sound.

It’s always worth shopping around to get a good idea of what you actually need.

Choosing tariffs

If you have to use your phone a great deal, be it inside of the car or elsewhere, you might be surprised to find that you can get some good prices for phone usage.

Increasingly these days, you will find that you can get better deals when you look somewhere other than the usual big mobile providers.

Supermarkets offer very competitive deals these days. The likes of Mobile by Sainsbury’s and Asda Mobile offer bundles suited for frequent users and allow you to keep on top of your spending whilst collecting reward points.
