  • I would say the t-mobile flext tariffs are the best value for money on the market at the moment. And they are ideal if you dont want to be tied down to using the same amount of minutes and texts each month. You also get 25% discount off line rental for life if you purchase direct from T- Mobile.

    dont understand that tmobile deal, ne1 care to explain it to me
  • ok for example, the flext35 tarriff, you pay £26.25 a month and get £180 worth of allowance to use. Texts are charged at 10p, voice calls 20p a minute. You can use your £180 allowance on whatever you prefer. So for £180 you could send 1800 texts, or use 900 cross network voice minutes, or any combination or mixture of voice and texts.

    so u just set yourself a limit say of £20 and they charge you whatever you use
  • mmm, no i dont think so, not too sure what you mean. On the flext35 tariff you pay £26.25, but get £180 of allowance, if you then use more than the £180 this would be billed in addition to the £26.25, at 20p a minute, 10p a text.
  • O2.co.uk have loads of good deals with different tariffs for talkers or texters. Why not check them out. I just took out a new contract with them and got a free personal DVD player free as well. Nice one!

    opt to pay quarterly by direct debit
    best price - only pay for what you need - save loads

    I dont think so, It depends if the phone is used for cross network calls. If so, and charged at 35p a minute, and makes 60 minutes of calls in a month, that £21, plus the cost of her texts, at 10p a throw. Will be much better off on a contract.
