Charlie Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 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.
Caris Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 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.
Blackfox Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 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.

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. well I've been on O2 for a year now with no problems, always get a good signal as well
Charlie Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 What deals do Orange have? They don't like my UCAS number.... Print screen, anyone?
gmac Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 here's a site I've checked out before never used them though so can't vouch for reliability http://www.findaphone.co.uk/ most of the deals involve cashbacks but some are pretty good
Dan_Dare Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 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.
Ashley Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 What deals do Orange have? They don't like my UCAS number.... Print screen, anyone? 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)
thirtynine. Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 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.
4q2 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 well I've been on O2 for a year now with no problems, always get a good signal as well Ive been on an o2 contract for 5 years and never had a problem either.
Platty Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 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.
Charlie Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 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.
Jon Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 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.
Bren Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 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.
Charlie Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 Great, shame your stuck on the worse network known to man, with the shittiest customer service throughout the glalxy. 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.
