MT Week - How to use double porting to get a great mobile phone deal

Whether it’s collecting air miles from a flight or points on your Tesco Club Card, being loyal to a brand can often pay off.

Except, it seems, when it comes to anything related to communications.

Broadband internet is the most obvious example of this.

There are always great deals on the market but as a loyal customer, you’re rarely offered them. Instead, you get endless letters telling you prices are going up.

Unless, that is, you call up and threaten to leave. Then, suddenly, they can’t do enough for you.

The same is true for mobile phone contracts. Only here, it’s much easier to leave once you’re out of contract.

Occasionally though, something called double porting might come in handy if you want to secure the best deal.
