Hi, my son is after a laptop for christmas and I need a new mobile phone contract (talk time and texts) not broadband, any suggestions?

IMHO, no deal where they offer something worth £200+ will actually be worth it. The AOL offer of a free laptop with Broadband was poor. Poor service and the laptops all had issues. The phone contracts you can get with free this and that are all ridiculous tariffs for 18months so you end up paying for the item anyway in the long run. Get a cheap phone deal and a seperate laptop deal. At least that way you can pick the best phone for your needs and a laptop that does what you want it to, not just the only phone that offers a laptop deal, or network that you dont get a good signal with just to get a 'free' laptop thatis probably a really poor quality and spec.:A Luke 6:38 :AThe above post is either from personal experience or is my opinion based on the person God has made me and the way I understand things.
