depends how you use your phone and if you get a phone in with the deal...

would cost me a fortune as i mostly call cross network and need about 400minutes, but it might suit you down to the ground, have a look at your current bill and see what you need..

VERY expensive call costs to other mobiles, as said depends how you use your phone.

Cross network? Texts? How many minutes a month?

Its my renewal charge.

I send very few texts.
Knowing the high rate to other mobiles i try to keep it to a minimum so thats not too bad.I'm not a high mobile user,get a free update yearly though.

Erm, NO way thats expensive - get online and have a look at o2 or Orange deals. In this day and age I wouldnt pay any upfront charges on top of monthly contract fees.

Are they 'throwing in' a top spec phone or summat to blind you into paying 100+ just to renew with them?

Or is the 119.99 all line rental charges for the year?

""on top of monthly contract fees""

Of course, these don't actually exist. It's just a way of paying monthly for your 'free' phone.

Go Virgin.

15p first 5 mins then 5p after that anytime of the day other networks 35p.
No monthly fee.
