It is very hard to get a telephone deal unless you have proof of residence: through a utility bill and a bank account. They want reliable people so most companies go out of their way to make it difficult for you to do business with them. Some are more flexible but usually, it is easier to get a pre-pay (top up type of cards) plan first and then move onto a monthly deal.
There is a huge battle to gain new customers so usually you can be choosey and look for what suits you better and negotiate for discounts or extras. In the shops you can get to talk with the sales staff and tell them to give you their best. Compare and decide.
There are sites that represent all mobile networks and usually they are the best agents to get better deals. Companies like the Carphonewharehouse or Dial-a-phone are the most famous ones. You need to make sure they have branches on the street in case you have trouble, so that you can go and make claims.. dealing online can be hard work and companies tend to be evasive.
