Independent mobile comparison
Our method

How MobileSearch compares deals

We organise deal information into a consistent format so the price and important plan features are easier to scan.

Independent comparison

MobileSearch is an independent comparison website. We intend to use official feeds supplied through affiliate networks, retailers and mobile providers. Not every provider or deal available in the UK will necessarily be included.

How total contract cost works

We add the upfront payment to the monthly payment multiplied by the stated minimum contract length. Any guaranteed cashback represented in the source data can then be deducted and shown separately. We keep monetary values as whole pence in our system to avoid unsafe floating-point calculations.

Upfront payment£29
36 payments of £49£1,764
Total contract cost£1,793

Ranking and sorting

Our default ranking is designed around relevance, complete information and consumer value. It is not secretly ordered by commission. You can also sort by lowest total cost, lowest monthly cost, lowest upfront cost and most data.

Commercial relationships

MobileSearch may receive commission when someone follows certain links and takes out a product. This does not change the advertised price paid by the customer. If sponsored or promoted placements are introduced, they will be clearly labelled and visually distinct.

Information can change

Mobile prices, stock, promotions, allowances, roaming policies and contract terms can change. Feed updates may not be instantaneous. Always confirm the final price and terms on the provider's website before taking out a contract.
