    Hi tinkerbelluk,

    "best" is difficult to define unless you can tell us what your expected usage pattern is.

  • Sorry - About 150 / 200 mins per month - 50 texts max - ideally as cheap as possible.

    Thanks

    A bargain is only a bargain if you would have brought it anyway!

    The best non-Orange tariff would be

    O2 250
    250 minutes + 100 texts
    12 months term
    £30 per month

    and the cheapest deals with these tariffs (via cashback) can currently be found at either E2Save or One Stop Phone Shop (click on retailer name to be taken directly to the relevant product page via a NON-affiliate link).

    Details of offers

    W810i clearance handset
    cashback equivalent to 8 months free line rental
    claimable in 3 equal parts after 4, 8 & 12 months

    Outlays: £360 (12 months line rental at £30)
    Cashback: £240 (3 x £80 claimable from retailer)

    Net 12 month cost after cashback = £120
    Net monthly cost after cashback = £10 per month

    As these are clearance deals (usually customer returns within the first 14 days, checked over and sold with the full 12 month warranty) stock is, by definition, limited. These deals have a habit of disappearing just as quickly as they appear.

    Jay1b's suggestion, apart from trying to circumvent the swear filters on this forum (the site in question was banned for a very good reason), doesn't really meet the OP's needs - the £100 deal only includes 125 minutes per month. The OP wanted 150-200 minutes. I would be willing to wager that the OP will pay a lot more than the £20 difference in cost in out of allowance charges over 12 months if his/her usage pattern is accurately described. For this reason, the O2 250 deal is most definitely the better option here.

    So go for the £120 deal....that had the correct number of minutes.

    So whats wrong with that site then?

    I will stand by the link i first gave you.

    £120... Which will equate to £10 per month. This isnt a reconditioned phone as the ones which Mutton suggested are, for example on stop phone shop doesnt guarantee the memory card will be include, and it doesnt come in the original box etc.

    That is unless :: Website reference removed - FM :: have a bad reputation? That i dont know, i have never used them.
