Is this a decent deal?

Hi,

I dont normally upgrade handsets, and just normally move networks to get the best deal. I rang O2 tonight and asked for my pac number straight out. I got offered this and accepted.

Currently on O2 Online 50 with 50 X/net Anytime and 500 SMS a month for £19

Wife uses upto 100 SMS a month and about 40 minutes. Bills are always £19 except for international calls when on holiday.

My wife is happy with her Samsung D500 so this is a line only rental only deal. They offered us £14 line rental and a £100 credit to be used against line rental.

£14 x 12 -100 is £68. So works out at £5.66 a month.

Should I be happy?

Best regards

Baz

    If that's all you use then it's not a bad deal, they are offering £100 to most people if you dont take a new handset out. If your wife is happy then great. If you really want to push them you can get 500min/500texts for £20p/m and a free phone (3 deal).

    But as i said if that great for you then what does it matter what other people think?

    I think its not a bad deal considering u are a low volume user..... i dont see them going any cheaper, though there is probably a few more minutes in the deall if u need it
