Just ordered a 16gb 3GS on 12 month contract from tesco :j.

Really straight forward and should be here on Monday. I asked about insurance and they don't do it, you need to get that covered separately. Think i'll get it under the house insurance

Depends how much phone/text you use but total cost of your package = £1080

Tesco 12 month contract £20 month (gives you £60 of flexible credit split between talk/text)+ unlimited internet access. Cost of phone £322 total cost £562

Hey,

I've just been offered:
Free iphone 16GB reboxed
£35/18months but with unlimited texts

Just can't get them to budge on the rebox as they have none in stock. Any ideas? All with O2

I'm thinking of going with the 16Gb 3Gs paying the £320 up front and then £20 per month.

It says the cost is £20 per month, but are there any extra costs?

Do you have to pay VAT on this at 17.5% which makes it £23.50?

If I enter a competition like Gadget Show (which I do), costing £1.50, is this included in my bill or is it an extra on top?

The one time I went on contract though Phones4U it should have been £20 per month but my bill usually ended up about £35 due to VAT & extras (though they had to repay a lot when I found they had secretly signed me up for the internet at £5 per month without telling me - and the phone wasn't internet capable anyway!).

Going with PAYG is only £60 more in total (only £18 if you have to pay VAT on the contract), and I wouldn't usually use more than the 300 mins or 600 texts in either case.
Can anyone enlighten me?

The £20 top up includes VAT

If you phone/text a premium rate number then that will be outwith your allowance

Make sure you opt out of the Gadget Show reply texts as they cost as well

2.2 Flexible credit can not be used to make calls made in the UK to:
(a) non-geographic numbers and free phone numbers starting (starting 08, &, 05);
(b) non-standard or "special" 07 numbers (all those 07 numbers that are not specifically included in your Flexible credit, i.e. are not used to provide mobile services, including 07 numbers allocated to network operators in Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man), 076 numbers and 070 numbers;
(c) any number ranges which Tesco Mobile reasonably believes are being used for call forwarding services, onward calling services or numbers that pay a revenue share. Examples of such number ranges include 07744 or 07755, 078225, 079879, 078730, 078931, 079118, 079112, 078930, 078921, 077000, 079245, 079246, but are subject to change; or
(d) premium rate and directory enquiries numbers where special charges apply.
