    Vodafone might let you upgrade the SIM only to a contract with handset included, have you asked?

  • Yes I did ask,
    they want me to pay £20 a month and at the moment I pay £15 a month so over the 24 months it would be £120.
    I figured I would look around and see if I could get a cheaper handset on payg. So far I have been on the argos clearance section and they have phones listed around the £60 mark, also Argos outlet on Ebay has phones around the £70 mark. Just wondered if anyone on here has other ideas of places to check, or came across anything that may be appropriate on their net travels.

    Where ever you go buy it from a store, or someone you trust not a bloke in a pub, once you've paid up it's easy for thre seller to report it stolen, get an insurance replacment and your money. Your left with a mobile thats blacklisted and no cash..

    Until I did it. :o:rotfl:
