Best mobile deal at the mo?

Looking to get a contract phone after smashin my current PAYG the other day...

£20-25 max contract really...

Would like;

At least 50 mins a month
200+ texts
12 month contract max really

Completely unsure as to what phone to go for, what network to go for... (TBH - never really cared much for a phone before)

Any good deals going through at the minute?

Re: Best mobile deal at the mo?

As an aside, on that phone I just posted above ^^...

It says free line rental for 2 monthes - I assume it's not a cashback offer, etc... I literally only pay for the line rental for the first 2 monthes?

Thing is, I was looking for a free phone, as such..

I don't have the cash to buy an actual phone, I can afford the £20 squid a month though for the contract if inclusive of a phone.

Dialaphone are usually pretty cheap, but you may find you can't transfer your existing number.

Re: Best mobile deal at the mo?

I sometimes wonder if having a set amount of free minutes, say, a month pushes you to use those minutes, whereas normally you would never clock up that amount of talk time. So is it a good deal

I must admit - I always use my 500 mins on my three phone every month.

Re: Best mobile deal at the mo?

I would start by finding out what network other mobiles that you will call are on. They are usually cheaper to call if you are on the same network.

Re: Best mobile deal at the mo?

I'd avoid Dialaphone like the plague, I know what they're like from working for a mobile network as a CSR previously.
I'd look on the Orange website, they do some good phones and their customer service has been superb.

Would you use that many if you didn't have the 500 mins? It may just be me - I have no one to talk to on my mobile other than my mum (always thinks something is wrong when I phone. She's very astute) and my mate (always thinks I want something when I phone. He's very astute). I never said I wasn't sad

Probably not to be honest.

Aside - it's not just me that uses it - when I'm at home we use it as our main phone. No point in using the landline when we've got that.

It does help with the triangle button on three so we can see exactly how many mins are left.

Online 50 from o2 online are pretty good - and some really good free phones to go with them as well. 50 mins talk and 500 texts - here's one for an example
