    explain what you mean ur waffling on
    If people cant help people on these threads, then they should rather not say anything then say something which isnt any use to the person who needs help
  • If you mean:

    "Would I get a discount if I entered into contract for two phones from the same provider at the same time, rather than two contracts?" the answer, in my experience, is no.

    You may be in a position where you can get "business rates", e.g. if you have a registered trading company. Some networks offer discounts for that, and other features such as free or very cheap calls between the two phones.

    I've tried on a number of occasions to say "I want a deal on behalf of myself and my wife", but found that the networks weren't geared up for that kind of scenario. Or that the "deals" weren't that great - check out Orange's family deal here.

    If you mean "should I try to arrange a deal on the same network as my son?", then you might find a tariff where same-network minutes are cheaper than cross-network (e.g. your Orange to son's Vodafone), but whether this is of benefit to you would depend on who you make the most calls to.

    Hope that helps, if only a little.
