Contract Mobile Phones

[Charlie]

My current phone is playing up, again, so I'm looking to get a new phone but on a contract this time.

Basically, I'm looking for the cheapest contract possible (so far I've found a £15 / month one with 600 texts and 75 minutes on Three.co.uk) which comes with a free phone too.

Network doesn't really matter as I can just change my number over to that network...

Any ideas? What sort of contracts do you guys have?

Edit - Just remember that my mum's phone doesn't get a very good signal on T-Mobile, so if possible that should be avoided. :heh:

Charlie, Do not go on O2.

Whatever you do, just done, they scammed me over nearly £70 on my conract with shit i never asked for i know alot of people had the same problem to.

Orange student deals.

£19 a month - 50 mins and 500 texts + free phone (I got the awesome K800i). Three are meant to be wank for signal anyway.

well I've been on O2 for a year now with no problems, always get a good signal as well

What deals do Orange have? They don't like my UCAS number....

Print screen, anyone?

here's a site I've checked out before never used them though so can't vouch for reliability

most of the deals involve cashbacks but some are pretty good

do as Blackfox sayeth. I have a similar deal with Orange and I never, ever run out of time or texts. I also have a w810i, although i paid a little extra one off for that. it's bangin.

Try it with/without the gaps or dashes. I know when I tried I put in 05-48489-08 or whatever it goes like, which didnt work, so I tried 054848908 and that did (or vice versa)

The deal on three is pretty good i just picked it up.as long as you live in an area that has good reception on three then your set.

Ive been on an o2 contract for 5 years and never had a problem either.

Go to 02.co.uk They have some awesome deals. Im on a txter one where I get like 1000 txts some 400 minutes I think for £35 a month. Plus you get a free phone.

Well, I've just got back from the Three store. They have a special deal because they made a mistake in an advert, instead of paying £50 for the Motorola V3xx I got it for free on the £15 a month deal I was talking about. :)

Great, shame your stuck on the worse network known to man, with the shittiest customer service throughout the glalxy.

i vote you go orange, and id say stay the fuck away from 3. I had nothing but trouble with them, and they have weak customer service, and the texts trying to sell you videos/ringtones get annoying.

I was actualling going to stick with Orange, but the guy in the Orange store convinced me otherwise. He really didn't have a clue what he was talking about. He wasn't going to let me take my Orange PAYG number to pay monthly because my brother was signing for the contract. I just walked next door into the Three shop and the guy was really cool, showed me how to use the phone and cool things it could do etc. £15 a month really is a bargain.
