Mobile phone contracts

Hi

I am entitled to a new mobile phone because I have had it more than 12 months, the thing is I don't really need a new mobile phone as the one I've got just now suits me fine.

On the other hand my wife who doesn't use her mobile much has a dated pay as you go phone and could be doing with a new one.

What i was wondering was, could i take the upgrade and give the new handset to my wife and i will just keep using the phone i have just now. This would be much cheaper than buying my wife a new pay as you go phone.

Any ideas??

Marco

    I have moved your question to the "Mobile phones" board where you should get more response.

    not sure what you mean there? but if you're implying which sims will work in which networks phones that info looks incorrect
