Title: Phone's/ deals?
Post by: omegod on 22 March 2013, 14:48:57
Just realised me and SWMBO were due upgrades 3 months ago. I have no desire for a crapple phone in my life but would like something decent and she likes the galaxy ace for some reason, currently paying £25 a month for each of our phones and only need about 300 mins, 150 texts and 250 data each.

Just wondering if anyone can reccomend a decent handset or maybe come across a ridiculously good deal lately, google gave me a headache within 2 minutes!

I and others I know have ended up with EE 4g smart phones (take your pick) on 4g network for £31 a month unlimited minutes and texts and 1gb data.

I tend to think along the lines that if a deal looks ridiculously good, then there is always a catch.

But at £25 pm. and if you're able to commit to a 24 month contract, there should be companies waiting to snatch your hands off. Last time I renewed in Spring 2011 O2 gave me a remarkable deal, free iPhone and HTC Desires.  :y

My contract is up soon, so I'm starting to think about this myself.  ::)

WHY?  Save money don't use one, I don't, they really aren't that important.  :y

To be honest I have a mobile somewhere, only ever take it out when traveling, for emergency use only. I really don't see the point unless it is for business. There is nothing worse than being in a pub, restaurant, or other public place when these bloody things ring at mega decibels and some moron shouts to the caller, about compete irrelevant crap.  >:( >:(

Should be banned ::)

If your not bothered about an upgrade ask your Provider for some Airtime discount and some freebies for another 12 month sign up. I was doing this a few years now with Vodafone Business and got maxed out on discount of 67% of there Tariffs.

Im currently 600 Mobile mins, Unlimited Landline mins, Unlimited Text, 1g Data, Some free WiFi, Free Nav and Data for £12pm on a 12 Month Contract.

I would also wait towards the end of this year before signing any 18 / 24 month deal with anyone as Vodafone and O2 will be launching there rival 4G service and things should start getting a bit more competitive.

My contract is due soon too and once I've sussed out how and where to unlock the iPhone, I'll probably go down the Giff Gaff route  :y
