Is this worth it.
I am currently with o2 payg, however I'm considering buying a netbook.
If it's worth getting a contract/laptop, any recommendations on the best deal? Or am I better staying on payg and buying my own netbook?

I think it really depends on your circumstances, if you can afford to buy a netbook on its own then I would go along those lines as you will have more choice over phone, tariff and netbook but if you go for a contract and netbook you may find yourself tied into a 18/24 month contract.
A quick look throws buymobilephones.net have some deals on T Mob with a free netbook see if there is anything that suits;)The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:0 -

Do the maths and the answer comes out as "NO" 99% of the time. If you want a contract, go sim-only. If you want a lap top, buy one on interest free credit if you can.0 -
Stay well away from these deals. It's not free and it will cost you more in the long run.
If you do do it DO NOT DO IT THROUGH ORANGE.
Think about it, how can a compoany afford to give you a 'FREE' laptop / notebook?0 -
Thanks one and all. To be honest, you have all confirmed my thoughts, I just wanted other peoples' opinions.:beer:0
