£20 a month for 600 anytime minutes, unlimited texts and 'unlimited' internet. That was originally £30 a month with a phone, but on renewal I declined the phone as I've had the same Blackberry (which I bought sim free) for about 2 years now and it's still going strong.

So £20 a month just for the contract now and my Blackberry will last at least another year, maybe two - you don't spend much on these things when you're Scottish you see.

That sounds a good deal chip.

im toying with the idea of an up to the minute phone sim free and a cashback deal on a very basic phone ( 600 mins texts and 1/2 meg ) for a pound a month

this has to work out at less than 15 a month over the 24 , if i was able to sell it at the end ??

I pay £29 a month for 300 minutes, unlimited texts and 1gb of data. That's for an iPhone 3gs. I'm due fir an upgrade in Jan, so if the iPhone 5 is significantly better than the 3gs then I will go with that. I'm not even bothering with the 4.

£6.75 per month for 24 months with Vodafone, 100 mins, 500 texts,100Mb a month with a free HTC Wildfire. Actually £13 quid a month but £150 cashback through quidco.

Was on PAYG for years, don't make lots of calls or send tons of texts, so only went to pay monthly because the quidco deal brought the price down to close to my monthly PAYG costs.

I have 2 here for £10/month on Vodafone with 600 minutes, 1GB internet, unlimited texts, free 0845, 0800, 0870 numbers, free MMS, free video calling and free Vodafone to Vodafone.

The girl tried to add BT Openzone Wifi too but it wouldn't accept a full house no matter what she tried.

24 months. I saw the quidco offer and it works out about the same over the term , I didnt want to wait months to get my quidco money and there is alaways the chance that the payment firm will go **** up as happened a few months ago with quidco.
