Romey 1878 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 It looks pretty decent that, Mike. Ive got an iPhone 4S on a 24 month contract on O2 and that costs me £41 per month. I get unlimited texts, 1000 minutes to other O2 numbers, 1200 any time any network minutes. I don't get any data as part of that, i pay an extra £5 a month for 500GB of data. So, like I said, it looks a really good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks Mark....thing I like about this is you can cap the contract so he wouldn't be able to run up a daft bill, can just top up PAYG if you run out of credit any month. Don't know if that's a freely available thing. (Daughter who's living with us at the mo pays £35 pm on her contract but her latest bill is more than three times that....insane!)

I know that that cap thing is available on 3 as well but not sure if any other networks do it. When I first went on contract I used to go over on my bill every single month (and by a big amount) but now i pay for more extras I never go over.

Louis Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Mike - you may have tempted me into getting a phone. I saw that the HTC Wildfire S is on a £10 per month contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Mike - you may have tempted me into getting a phone. I saw that the HTC Wildfire S is on a £10 per month contract. Did you get it Louis? Finally got the deal through for Josh's tonight....site was playing up so had multiple failed attempts. Also means I'll get to upgrade....lose my five/six year old LG (that cost less than £20) and take over Josh's old LG Viewty Snap. May not be "smart" but it's a step up for me . Not overly bothered by them personally....though I'd like a tablet at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 iPhone 4 is the phone I have, had it for 2 years and not tired of it. When contract was up I got myself on a tidy £15 contract sim only with 500mb data, unlimited texts and 1000 mins. Highly recommend iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcopaulo Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 girlfriend has been offered a second phone by t-mobile..a nokia lumia 800..20 quid a month..anyone know anythin about them? they look quite good..and i fancy a smartphone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I wanted a Nokia Lumia just because if you buy one from Carphone Warehouse it comes with a free deadmau5 speaker. If I was going to change from my phone (Samsung Galaxy Ace) then the Lumia is probably the one I'd go for - it seems a nice piece of kit. Either that or the WindowsPhone.

MikeO Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Just took the plunge ordered a Samsung Galaxy Y for myself....only £10pm with 400 mins. When so many people (inc. three of four daughters) don't have a land line any more it makes sense....my phone bills are far higher than they need to be!

Dalziel Kane Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Damn cell phones. Never had these when I was a kid, too many of these damn things about, people become too dependant. Seems their end all and be all above all else. I estimate about 75 per cent of the people you see on the street have a damn phone to their ear, and 75 per cent of those would be banal, trivial conversations, with banal, trivial individuals. Just something that irritates that's all. I'm a miserable old fuck in my defense, but it is true, i.e. two many damn phones about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Just get one that works and does the basics reliably, unless you actually want an all singing all dancing piece of electronic junk which will be out of date by Christmas.

Did you ever complete it? aha My mate used to throw his Nokia over his house, all that happened was the back would fall off and the battery fall out. Stick it back together and it was fine. They're unbreakable, should be in the engineering hall of fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
