Independent advice — mobile, SIM & internet

Confused by phone deals? We help you pick right and pay less.

Aura is a friendly, independent advice service. We don't sell phones, SIMs or broadband and we're not tied to any network — so when we tell you what to get, it's only because it's right for you.

Why come to us

Most "advice" comes from someone trying to sell you something.

Shops, networks and comparison sites usually earn more when you spend more or pick a certain deal. We don't. That's the whole point of us.

01

We don't sell anything

No phones, no SIMs, no contracts. We've nothing on the shelf to push, so there's no hidden agenda.

02

Not tied to a network

We can tell you to leave your provider just as easily as to stay. Whatever genuinely suits you wins.

03

Plain English, no jargon

We explain your options in normal language so you can decide with confidence — not pressure.

What we help with

From "which phone?" to "why is my bill so high?"

Mobile

SIM & mobile plans

SIM-only or contract? How much data do you really need? We find the plan that fits how you actually use your phone.

Handsets

Which phone to buy

New, refurbished, buy outright or on contract — honest guidance on the right handset for your budget and needs.

Internet

Home broadband

The right speed for your household and how to stop paying the "loyalty penalty" when your deal ends.

Savings

Bill review

Send us your current bills and we'll show you, line by line, where you're paying for things you don't need.

Switching

Help switching

We walk you through changing provider or plan, keeping your number, and avoiding early-exit traps.

Timing

Upgrades & renewals

When to upgrade, when to wait, and how to haggle at renewal so you're never on an overpriced rolling contract.

What people get out of it

Worth knowing before you ask.

Savings depend on what you're currently on — we'll always be straight with you about whether it's worth it before you spend a penny.

Up to 40%

Off a monthly bill once you're on the right plan instead of a default one.

FAQ

The questions people ask us most.

Can't see yours? Just ask — we'd rather give you a real answer than a sales pitch.

Do you sell phones or SIMs?+

No. We don't sell phones, SIMs, plans or broadband, and we're not tied to any network or shop. We only give advice — that's exactly why we can tell you what's genuinely best for you.

How much could I save?+

It depends entirely on what you're on now. People who've been on the same contract for years, or are paying for data they never use, often save a big chunk each month. We'll always tell you honestly whether it's worth changing before you do anything.

What do you need from me to help?+

Usually just a rough idea of how you use your phone and internet, plus a recent bill if you have one. That's enough for us to spot whether you can do better and what to switch to.

I'm mid-contract — can you still help?+

Yes. We'll check when your contract ends, whether there are any exit fees, and whether it's worth waiting or moving now. Sometimes the smartest move is simply a reminder to switch the day your deal expires.

Will I lose my phone number if I switch?+

No — you can keep your number when you move networks, and we'll walk you through exactly how. Keeping your number is one of the things we make sure goes smoothly.

Do you actually make the switch for me?+

The final sign-up is always yours to do — it's your account and your money. But we guide you through every step so it's simple and you don't get caught out by anything.

What if my current deal is already good?+

Then we'll tell you to stay put. If you're already on the right plan, that's a perfectly good outcome — we're not here to make you switch for the sake of it.
