hey hey

i was just about to buy the Sony W800i phone from O2 for £25 and then £19 a motnh (using the http://shop.o2.co.uk/student link) after checking out a load of cash back and other deals. Basically i wanna send afew txts a day, send 1/2 media messages a day and make a few calls so i think £19 a month is gonna be the best deal... but thought id see what u guys said before hitting order

def like the look of the phone, so is this the lowest monthly tarriff with media messages and txts and stuff? ooh also do 02 let u send massive full res media mesages to emails using the included txt allowance?

cheers,

Davey12

EDIT: phone price dropped to £4.99 GRUMBLE.

    this is EXACTLY what I was looking for too!

    I've been looking at cashback sites for about a week looking for the best phone, then when I found the w800i the best deal.

    This one works out at £253 for the whole year! The best I got before was £278 on virgin, 100 mins and 200 texts
    Thanks!

    Then tick which option you'd like in 'online 50,' texter or talker.

    Then select your phone, the w800i which is listed as 24.99

    Go to first link posted.
    You'll see two boxs amongst the others in the middle, one saying something like "more text here" and another saying "more mins here".
    Go into either of these and you'll find the tariffs. HTH :) and hope I'm right! lol
