STOP LOOKING AT NEW PHONES!!
(But have to admit I did have a teency weency peek at new phones when I went to PAYG..but didn't get one!)
Stick with your current phone. It does the job, just remember how much you willl save when you go onto PAYG. I'm still £9.50 in credit from the £10 I started with about 7 weeks ago .
You can do it!Back on the DFW Wagon:
CC - £3,300 on 0% til 04/2020
CC - £4,500 on 0% til 02/2019
Loan - £12,063.84 as at 4/1/180 -

i have never understood the issue of having the latest mobile phone - as with every technology it's more or less out of date (or soon will be) when you buy it- technology developes so quickly these days. if your old one does the job why pay nearly £300 for a new one. if you do buy it make sure you sell the old one! stick the money in a high interest building society account and buy yourself really nice at the end of the year with some (not all) of the interest you earn.please please tell me i dont need this phone and i can go payg with the phone i have now, thanks0 -
After you have finished paying off your credit cards, have another look at new phones. Chances are, the one you want now will be old hat by then (or if it isn't then it'll be cheaper anyway).DFW Nerd 0350

It won't enhance your life. It's a phone!!!!! To the best of my knowledge all mobile phones allow you to make calls......
Get a grip woman!!!!!!!
(oops, or man)A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

What changed in the five minutes before you saw the phone and the five minutes after?

Posting you have been doing so well. Please dont wreck it all now. Wait until you are debtfree and able to save some money. The last thing you need is a new phone. Give yourself and your money a chance. Give spending a rest for a while and watch your finances recover. Youre only young; you can buy plenty of phones when youre rich.The forest would be very silent if no birds sang except for the birds that sang the best0
