Why does Whatphone exist ?
- Our goal is to help you make an informed choice about the best Smartphone plan for you. We want to offer you a free service to help.
Is Whatphone sure the information on the website is accurate ?
- We’re pretty sure about the accuracy of the information on our site. We’ve taken reasonable steps to make sure that the pricing and phone information we have on the site is accurate for the recommendations we make. If it isn’t accurate, people wouldn’t trust us and use the site. That said, we all make mistakes and it’s possible that we’ll type something wrongly or otherwise have incorrect information on the site. As soon as we see it, we’ll fix it but we can’t warrant that the content is 100% accurate.
- We would always recommend that you make sure that you understand the terms and conditions you’re signing up to with your telecommunications provider just so you’re sure.
Can you use the content on the site for yourself ?
- You can use the content on this site for personal consideration but you can’t reproduce the content on the site elsewhere in any form.
- Specifically, we’d like to make it clear that we don’t want you to resell, store, frame or upload, what’s on the site and we certainly don’t want you to take or modify the code for your own use.
Where does the content for the blog come from ?
- Initially we bought some of it but the majority and all the recent content has been written by the staff at Whatphone. It’s all personal opinion unless the source is specifically stated. The intention of having it is to help you make your choice but, again, the choice, ultimately, has to be yours. Please don’t rely on the blog content being 100% correct.
Is Whatphone recommending anything to you ?
- While we tell you the plans we think are the best deals in the market, we don’t know the specifics of your circumstances. The decision ultimately has to rest with you on what the right plan and handset are. We just want to offer you an informed point of view in the hope it’ll help you.
Does Whatphone cover every phone plan in the market ?
- No we don’t. We cover our favorite mobile phone plan companies.
