Whose best for me?

Barry_Baloney

Hi,

I'm looking for a better phone deal, currently with Carphone Warehouse/O2 I use about 250 minutes a month and 700 or so texts. This is about £70 a month. Looking to reduce it, whose good? I'm self-employed so don't want 3 as can't afford to unnecessarily miss calls. Don't really care about what sort of phone I have, or even need a new one really. I need to take my number with me. Being uncontactable between suppliers would be a negative but maybe worth it for a short while if I'm saving enough.

I heard t-mboile have some good new packages, that right?

Can any kind soul offer any pointers?

Cheers

Barry

Flex £35 on T-mobile should be right for your usage. You get £180 worth of credit and its 20p per min for calls/mms and 10p per min for voicemail/sms. You can use it however you want so more text one month and less calls and vice versa the next. For you best example would be £180 could be used as 400 mins anytime any network (£80) and 1000 text (£100).

I would agree that flext35 would be best for your, but just to add, you can take your number with you no problem. You need to contact O2 CPW, they will give you an address that you need to write to with your details and the fact that you want your PAC (a code that allows you to take your number to another network) and they will then txt that to you (always send this letter special delivery). Then once you have your PAC you can take your new contract, contact TMOB with the PAC, and they'll give you a date for your number to change over.

This is ace stuff and I have just done as you both recommended.
Thank much.
When my new phone arrives is there anything to stop me selling it on e-bay as my old one still works fine?
I seem to remember in the past that on getting new phones you have to actually use them to make the contract valid or something?
