Are T-Mobile ripping me off?

Connected_2

Hello all.

I have a contract deal with T-Mobile. It's called the Relax 100 plan.

100 Free minutes, to any network.
No free texts or WAP minutes.

Price Plan - £19.95 per month.

Now I'm not someone who uses my phone very much - average of 30 texts and 30 calls per month (30 minutes in total), plus some WAP time - but I'm regularly being charged £30 per month.

Is this too much? And if so, can someone recommend me another tariff?

Thanks in advance.

Are you aware you can register and view all your account details on the t-mobile website?
If you do this you will be able to see itemised bills and see where the charges are coming from.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.

I did register a while ago, but I've forgot the details! :embarasse

It's the price plan which contributes most of the charges. I'm rarely charged on standard calls (Usually less than a £1) Texts are about £3 per month, with WAP being at £2. So it's about £25 before VAT.

£25 before vat makes... (25x1.175=) £29.38 after VAT..... is the £30 before or after VAT?.. if its after, its all good!

It's about £30 after VAT.

I've just had an apathetic attitude towards my phone bill, so I thought I'd raise it just to see if I could be saving some money.

Thanks Skiddy.

you would be better off on t-mobile's flext 20 tariff - £34 of allowance for texts or calls for £20 per month including VAT.

with an 18 month contract.

You'll perhaps be better on the Relax 20 tariff - its 12 months, the same price you're paying (£20 per month inclusive of vat), the same minutes you're getting (100 any network any time), except it comes with 30 texts extra per month. I got mine from e2save with £32 cashback and a free N70
