36 month contract? Thats taking the biscuit. too long for a contact. Im better of the contract im paying which is £5 a month.

Do you think Orange will offer this as a SIM only deal with minimal contract length like the O2 Simplicity deals?

I wouldn't mind paying £5 per month but I'm quite happy with my phone (it's under a year old and better than the one offered) and I don't want to be tied in for 36 months. I'd probably sign my kids up to it too but not for 3 years (they have new-ish phones too).

36 months contract is way too long, 12 months is worse enough.

For that sort of inclusive mins, one better hope not to ever lose their phones as big bills will most likely to follow. Most networks, if not all do not have a live capping monthly spend option, meaning it could well be over your chosen capped price before this function kicks in.

That is actually one good feature of T-Mobile you can fix a limit on your account. So for example if you sign up to a £20 a month tariff and dont want to spend anymore than say £21, you can setup a limit of £21. than all you can produce is a £21 a month bill. One reason why ppl in the past sign up for their children T-Mobile contracts.

So you're saying T-mobile have a live capping system? As I understand it most networks doesn't have a live system.

iceburn

yes T-mobile have it, from my knowledge of all the networks when I used them T-Mobile is indeed the only one with that feature. Something I wish Orange had when I gave my phone as a "favour" to a friend mother who made over £3000 bill. That was a huge kick when the bill arrived!!! But saying that I found this link (I never been on Vodafone)

which state one can set a limit on Vodafone call vodabudget, if one already had it (cant add it to new customers.) But it say why they withdraw the service which might explain why other networks dont offer it as well.
