  • Hi Richman

    I would like about 300 xnet and about 150 text. But am on orange off peak 1000 with 150 text at the mo

    Frankie Three has one of the best deals for this although network is patchy check three.co.uk for coverage in your area
    200 mins and 100 txt £25 a month although shop about you will get some mental half price deals on the web.

    sadly your nok6230i is not available on three however his big brother the 6630 is you need to decide whats more important the phone or saving you money?

    the other one I found and bear with me cause this may not straight away sound like a great deal but. Nok6230i free on o2 250 double mins and text for 3 months and three months half price line rental over the year this works out as £420 if you stay on the same tarriff you dont need that many mins so you dont have to after 6 mons drop to o2 200 200 mins 100 txt you can even add a bundle on at 50txt for 3 quid if you really need it.

    Now the best part A FREE NOKIA BLUETOOTH CARKIT WITH INSTALLATION
    only take this deal if you need the car kit as the kit and installation is £250 to go in and buy. so its a savign of £250 for the kit bearing in mind the law is changing on this higher fine and three points on your licence

    Thanks!!

    I've been looking for something suitable for my text-mad daughter who is at uni and would qualify for this deal from vodafone...what to you think? It looks pretty good to me and hard to beat.

    Free samsung z140v phone
    125mins anytime a month
    unlimited texts

    £25/month - 18 month contract. Also could use "Stop the clock" - 7pm to 8am all week and all weekend: talk for up to 60 mins but only get charged for 3 (could come out of 125 mins a month allowance) - she might even call her parents...lol!!


    BRILLIANT DEAL GO FOR IT !!!!

    I can only sell the 100 mins in store I have no way of offering unlimited texts (think I may get one for myself!)

    Please just check sometimes network use a fair usage policy ask them what is fair before you sign up

  • what is the samsung z140v like? Would I be able to give the phone to my daughter for christmas and my son use the sim in his phone? If not was looking at o2 v547 £59.99 with bluetooth on their site (pay as you go). Is that an ok phone for a 14yr old who has a bad habit of dropping her phone!!

    normally shouldnt be a problem BUT vodafone sometimes lock sims to certain phones so no guarantees.
    samsung have done well with this 3g phone very neat unlike some others yeah I would be quite chuffed to get it!

    hi richman,
    i bought contract from e2save 8 months ago for 3.it was £10/month(£30-£20cash back after 6 months).i settled direct debit.i found that e2save was working on behalf of carphonewarehouse.it's just a brief info.
    Now,The main thing is,for 8 months nobody charged single p from my a/c.3 sends me bill regularly which clearly says that 'we'll charge this money on xxx date from ur a/c with d.debit'
    after 6 month e2save sent me cashback as well.so some time i'm worring if they charge full amount in one time.
    wen i check my a/c they haven't set any d.debit.
    so,i'm asking you i have to worry for that or no?can they inform to credit rating agency?
    MSE IS AN ADDICTION
  • OH decided no contract for son. He's not good at contolling his texts and calls but the vodafone unlimited texts is very tempting. The site says subject to their fair use policy but cant find what this policy is.

    think we will just go for the 02 student v547. Do you think its ok phone or are there any probs with it. Our other daughter had the o2x1i last christmas and in 3 weeks screen broke and we couldn't replace it. Couldn't buy new cases and were stuck until a friend's husband got a dummy phone for us and we used the screen from that.

    ....I may be wrong on this but there is no anti virus software as yet you would need to do a software upgrade to fix it thus losing messages ringtones pics etc etc etc

    Uh huh, you are wrong :), you can get anit-vrus for your phone. I think the best available at the moment is "Simworks Anti-Virus" which can be found here:

    There are also others out there on the market too, just Google it :D
