Mobile Cost Cutting!

Right guys ive got myself an 02 Contract with a Blackberry. I use it for work and personal. It sets me back about £50 a month. Everything is included.

Its runs out in May and ive been thinking about cost cutting. Are there any deals out there where I could get all our contracts on the same network as there are 5 mobile users in my house? (all family)

I have a 30% off voucher for new O2 contracts so could use that if it works out cheaper?

Also would it be ideal to try and get my home phone and broadband with O2 as well for an even better deal?

Any ideas would be welcome.

    Hey man

    What do you use? Mins/txt/data, and how long would you be happy for your next contract to be? (12/18/24months)

    You sure you'd be able to use the voucher? You are an existing customer afterall, now a new customer.
  • Yes my missus' company has a deal with them 30% off. My contract is up in May so can wait but would like to get everyone on the same network to get it cheaper.

    I use quite a lot 800 mins, 600 texts (got unlimited) and allways on web on phone too. I like an upto date phone but would be happy to buy a new phone off line as and when if it works out cheaper to be on a 24 month contract.

    If the voucher is with O2 open, then they have changed the deal from 30% to £75 cashback if afraid.

    If you're currently paying £50 for that, you could very VERY easily be paying £25 for 900 mins, 500 (or unlimited if you really push) txts, and unlimited (500mb fair use) on a 24 month contract with a Blackberry device. By may you'll be able to get the 9700 for free, or maybe a newer blackberry if there's one out. on a £25 month contract today they'd try to make you pay a lil for the phone unless its not the newest blackberry device.

    To be honest, come back n March/April.. 5 months is a long way in advanced to be looking for deals imo
