    And please tell me that nobody actually pays £499 for a new phone.......however many gadgety things it has :eek: _pale_

    I have never paid a penny for a phone - always get a free one as part of a deal or upgrade

    28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%

    I'm the same Luc. I am just such a low user it isn't worth me upgrading, but my phone has a colour camera, video capture (ok, only 8 seconds, but still), mp3 player and radio and I've had it 4 years now and it was a free upgrade when I was on a contract and I was only paying £12 a month then! I switched to PAYG and they let me keep my number as I was such a low user so I've kept the same phone since.

    Oh I meant to comment on the N97/N95 - I had an N95 as i had had a good report from a client who uses it as a diary etc...but i didn't like it - I was surprised as I love nokia's.

    OH just got an iphone on PAYG - £20 per month 600 mins 1000 txts and interweb. Okay the phone was £310 (i think) but its £35 per month on contract so I save £50 overall - although I also got £'s by going through quidco too...

    the phone is great and I wish I had got one instead of the ipod touch

    I dont have a landline so my phone is essential and it must work in Europe and the US (quadband) for work trips so that always means I'm on an expensive phone and tariff but I dont mind as I dont have a lot of other bills so it evens out...

    I've never paid for mine either - you pay for it over the life of the contract ;)
