The cell phone is a staple of our world’s communication system. Almost everyone has a mobile device, and for those that don’t, the chances are they are trying to get one. But what if you are someone that can’t afford to buy one? What if the mobile carriers and data plans that providers offer don’t fit what you’re looking for in terms of budget or inclusion?
If you belong to such a group, then hopefully this article can help you. As despite the costs, mobile providers can be found almost anywhere, and like them, almost any price can be available as well. It all depends on what you’re looking for and how you look for it, and luckily such things we will be going over in this article. So please read on if you wish to know more.
A cheap mobile plan, like any mobile plan, is comprised of different subjects. These subjects are what you should look for when deciding what plan is best for you. They include:
- Price per month– This is the general price of the plan for a mobile device per month. You shouldn’t have to look too hard to find it, as every mobile provider is required to state such in whatever plan they announce and offer to the public. Most if not all providers have several different monthly subscriptions, each one forged and adapted for diverse types of customers. For example, some prices take into consideration those who use their phones primarily for calls, while others have more data included for those who use their phones for internet purposes and the like.
- Binding Period- Most providers have subscriptions and plans with a lock-in or binding period, one which starts when you first buy your phone and take up said subscription. For this you are often offered a partial payment on the phone, one which is included to the monthly cost of your subscription. Some phones also come with a warranty attached, along with a greatly reduced price tag.
- Volume of Data– Whether using your phones for calls or sending messages, most of this requires the transfer of data to do so. The transfer of data not only includes sending messages, but also surfing the internet, checking your social media accounts, sending pictures to friends and family, and even apps that fall into gaming or entertainment. All of this requires the transferring of data, and because of this it’s very important to consider such when choosing your plan.
- Speed and Speed Limitations– As most of us use our phones for the internet, playing music, or streaming shows and movies, data speed can matter a lot when choosing a plan. There are different tiers of speed that vary across mobile providers, but most tend to go with the one that is current, such as 4G or 5G (some plans, though not many, also offer 3G speed for those that don’t use or care much about data speed).
- Price for Mobile Subscription Use Abroad– If you tend to travel out of the country, you should look into plans that include pricing for such. Some mobile providers have certain rules and regulations when using your data when abroad. These can also include agreements with other operators in different countries such as Norway or Sweden. If you’re traveling in the EU especially, there are some providers that operate by the Roam Like Home policy, which basically entails that you don’t have to pay a higher price when turning on data roaming.

- Customer Service– And of course, customer service is also a crucial factor to consider when signing up with a mobile carrier service or provider. With potential problems like phone issues, phone repair, troubleshooting when logging into apps or banks, it’s important to have a cell phone operator on hand and ready to help with issues such as these.
So those are the key factors to take into consideration when choosing the cheapest phone plans. But another question you may be asking yourself is what kind of providers are there?
Different Mobile Providers
There is no shortage of phone providers in the world, and that’s especially the case in Norway. You can find them in ads or online postings, but there are alternatives. There are some sites that help narrow down the cheapest plans, or det billigste to those who speak Norwegian. These plans are broad and varied and come with a variety of categories to consider. For the sake of this article, I won’t name them all, but to help you have an idea here are some of the cheapest mobile providers in Norway.
