    I wonder what these big spenders get for their money - do they use anywhere near their paid for minutes, would they be better off, on pay as you go.

    I pay 7.70 per month for plenty of mins/txts/data and new phone included. So why pay more? I dont get why people have to pay 30+ quid a month for roughly the same just because they have to have an iphone / Galaxy. My smartphone does all the same basic jobs - i.e. does calls, texts, has a camera and can browse the internet.

    Always annoys me that we talk about people having no disposable income when they blow their money unnecessarily (Sky is another good example!)

    I voted the £50+ but actually my airtime bill is £28 a month for unlimited calls, texts and 8gb data. The other £25 is for the phone.

    It's around £45.

    For that I have 2 brand new phones with unlimited mins/texts. One if 4G with a big data allowance and the other is 3g with 1gb. I also have a 600 minutes, 1k texts and 25mg data SIMO.

    The site wouldn't work when I tried to order on there? So I got £40 credit on my account and I asked for my handset costs to be taken off when I upgraded my contracts, which they were :)

    Oh I do have a landline, but I couldn't even tell you what the number is I only have it for broadband, for which I ended up paying around £6 a month after cashback and vouchers are taken I to account - better than the £25 a month that I was previously using!
