An Introduction to M1 

We spend hundreds of dollars every year on our mobile phone plans. However, are we subscribing to the best plan in the market? When our contracts are up, how often are we attracted by huge discounts on the latest phones, instead of looking for a subscription to suit our needs? 

Avoid this dilemma at M1, which offers incredible deals that sidestep these questions entirely.
