Free Gifts with Mobile Phones Is the Rule Now than the Exception

It is a trend that has got so well entrenched in the mobile phone market place in the UK that the network service providers and the dealers in the business of selling mobile phone handsets cannot forgo even if they want to. Not at least in this festive week that leads up to Christmas. Even otherwise, the practice of offering free gifts with new mobile phone handsets being bought is not a new one here. Phone deals that come with free gifts have always been in existence since the last five to eight year sin the market place here.

Free gifts with mobile phones are a marketing strategy that is employed by the network service providers active here – O2, Orange, 3 Mobile, T-Mobile, Vodafone and Virgin Mobile – in order to stay and be successful in an overcrowded industry where every day a new technological advancement renders a only come to the market place a few months back redundant and obsoleted. It is simple question of survival for them. Floating phone deals with free gifts is just one more way, albeit a major one, for them to keep the spoiled customer from going away to one of the rivals. And what better time to indulge in a bit of gifting than the peak festive season.

In the UK, the maximum buying of mobile phone handsets happens during the month of December only. And this year is no exception. This is precisely why the network service providers and the dealers are going overboard in trying to please the spoiled beyond recognition customers.

Free gifts with mobile phones come in the form of 42 inch high definition television set, laptop, notebook, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintedo Dsi, Sony Playstation 3, DVD player, digital camera device, etc. In most cases, the free gifts are given away along with the new mobile phone handset being bought itself. In certain cases, though, the delivery of the free gifts takes another 24 hours or so.
