Is this contract deal any good? Please help!

Hi Guys.

Im not very clued up on mobile phones and would appreciate some imput to see if this is a good deal or not. I just basically use my phone for calling and texting and maybe accessing the internet to cheat when doing pub quizes.:A ( only joking). Dont need a super hi spec phone or anything.
I use around 300 to 400 mins a mths and send about 400 texts.

Rang up orange as my exsiting contract was up and said I was thinking of leaving as Im trying to save some cash

They have offered me.
£9.79 per month for 18mths inclusive of VAT.
Brand New Free Nokia 6303.
400 anytime any network mins.
Unlimited Texts.
80meg per month of web browsing.
4 magic numbers (unlimited calls to other pre specified orange numbers that dont come off the inclusive minutes).

I've got 24hrs to make my mind up. Can I get cheaper elsewhere ?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Guys.

  • It sounds like not a bad deal to me, although I'd be tempted to just ignore the "24 hours to make your mind up" line - they'll almost certainly offer you the same or an even better deal if you don't take it up. If you decide to go for it, make sure you get the details of the offer in writing or by email.
  • That sounds like a good deal to me,wonder if I could get something similar from CPW/O2?

    Whats that phone like for browsing?

    I'd take it, but I'd see if they could give you a diff Nokia.

    I do it all because I'm scared.
