Nokia sales reduce as Samsung’s increase

Nokia is now no longer the best selling handset manufacturer. Samsung have continued to grow year on year and have now overtaken Nokia with the Number 1 spot.

The mobile phone industry has notoriously been fluctuanting with sales continually going up and down through the year. Nokia has historically been at the top since the late 1990’s as their classic designs and easy to use interface was well known and loved by millions of people. These days although Nokia is still a very dominant player, they are no longer at the top of the tree. So why would this happen? Well the main reason is the Android system for smartphones.

Handset sales expected to fall due to popularity of sim only deals

The UK is gearing up for a fall in sales of mobile phone handsets. The main reason being that many people are favoring SIM only deals instead in order to save money.

The quantity and range of mobile phone handsets on the market continues to increase year on year, with continuing new and exciting handsets being released every month. This may not be such as good thing in the future as there will be 100,000’s of handsets sat on sat on shelves not being sold.

Official statements from the leading mobile phone manufacturers and network providers have all agreed that people are increasingly favouring sim only contracts in order to reduce their monthly outgoings. It’s an inevitable step considering the ongoing financial crisis, which has caused everyone to save money wherever possible.

Mobile phone providers instructed to provide clearer bills

Great Britain’s mobile phone telecommunications chairman recently declared that he would like mobile phone businesses to produce increased clarity for customers to avoid unexpected bills. The statement covered all mobiles phone contracts, including pay monthly, pay as you go and SIM only deals.

The reason for the announcement was because year on year mobile phone clients across the county receive large bills for their mobile phone usage that include unexpected inclusions of additional minutes, text and data that the user may have incurred over their inclusive package.

As more and more people becoming wise to these unexpected bills, mobile phone companies are seeing an increase in sim only contracts, as these particular contracts minimize the bills issued each month.
