Mobile Phone Contract Wanted

GSXRCarlos

Hi All,

I've just bought a property and i'm in the process of doing it up, so won't be occupying it for a few months.

I'm currently on o2's pay as you go sim (£10 a month, and 300 free texts - old genie sim card) which has worked well for me, but i'm now starting to spend more money on credit and wondered about taking on a phone contract.

Ideally i want to maintain my 300 texts, but also want free phone calls and a shiney new phone (i really like the Sony Ericcson C905 - as it will double as a decent camera - my current camera is on it's way out)

CarPhoneWarhouse & O2 have a £25 a month contract for 24 months, free C905, offering 400 any time any network minutes and 500 anytime and network texts, this seems to be the best deal on 02

Does anyone have any reccomendations, or offer advice on things i need to look out for? I'm not definitely going to stay with o2, but orange don't do the C905, and i'll be setting up a home phone and broadband when i move in.

So want to explore all my options

Thanks for your reply, is that a sim only contract?

How much did she have to pay for her phone?

that sounds an even better deal than what my daughter gets.....

can you send me some details as she is a student and it would make more sense to have that one.....

I phoned them up, on the num on the website, they asked me my usage & then offered me the above deal only prob I can see is its a 12 month contract

I ended up going for a w995 (£50 up front) and a 24 month contract @ £25 per month.

This gives me 600 minutes and unlimited texts so i'm pretty happy with it.

I compared it with all the 'Phone only' options, and 'sim only' contracts and i think it's the best deal for me, so thanks for all you input
