Mobile Phone Tariffs
« on: 28 January 2010, 21:37:06 »
As you are aware I got the Vodafone 360 H1 for my son and he is really pleased with it, especially as it said locked to Vodafone, and he put his T-Mobile sim card in and hey presto it worked.
Now, he is nearing the end of his contract with T-Mobile, and is looking for the best options, he don't really need loads minutes but he would like a lot of Internet minutes, just for e-mails and browsing and Facebook, so any ideas on which is the best tariff? Don't need to be T-Mobile as he can leave them without penalty soon
Cheers Folks

I have a Nokia E63 for free on £18 a month contract on 3. get 300 any network minutes, 3000 texts, 1gb internet data and unlimited msn. The internet on this package is what made me go for it and its one of the cheapest contracts available with a free handset. I cant imagine i will ever use up my text or minute allowance but the internet and free msn is used alot. I think it might be cheaper if you were to use the existing phone, or the people in the shop could help you out anyway.

Where I live 3 is not really an option, is in a real poor reception, even 3 tell me that.
Thanks for the speedy reply though

Skype is like using a phone over the internet. Imagine MSN and using a phone to communicate rather than text. Atleast thats how i understand it

If you'd signed the 12 month contract with Voda, you would have had completely free net access for Facebook, as well as getting the handset for free.

Depends what you are doing as to whether 500MB is a lot or little.

For the odd e-mail and a tiny bit of browsing, 500MB just about cuts it.
For me, 500MB would get used in the ACK packets alone when I start a downloadfest.

since you bought the handset outright and out of contract, go SIM only on the contract. T-Mobile don't have to claw back handset cost, so they can discount the tariff instead.

I bought my handset myself, then got O2 to give me 150 txts, 150 mins, unlimited internet for £5 a month.

When I got 2 O2 sims for my current mobiles all O2 had on offer was £15 PAYG, if I buy £15 a month top up I get free phone calls to O2 phones and some other parts of the deal I cant remember,  But currently handy as next month when I top up it's free calls to my ex that recently got in tough to catch up,  ::) :-X
