    -£25/month
    -Free phone
    -Unlimited texts
    -300 mins
    -500MB data
    -Orange
    -£20 Quidco cashback

    From carphonewarehouse. I can't post links, but it's the first one on the list for the HTC Desire. Great deal imo :)
  • The deal I have gone for, and I am hoping I don't regret! Is with 3. Its a refurbished HTC hero, and I am hoping it is OK. I have never done a refurb one but it was a much better deal. THe guy said they are all new, but have been opened and still have the 12 month garantee so can't really go wrong with it I don't think?!

    Its £24 a month, free phone, 900mins or text or any combo of the 2, which suits me perfectly as I won't go over this. 5000 3 to 3 calls (not much good!) and a 1GB of internet.

    Hope the phone is good. :undecided

    yeh i got it through buymobilephones.net but i sent the desire back as it was faulty and got the galaxy s, you can change the landline for unlimited texts, however any deal through a reseller comes with one booster the unlimited net so you have to phone t mobile and tell them you have an android phone and they will give you another booster free in your case unlimited texts

  • If you order from mobilephonesdirect, you get a free 16gb memory card now rather than a car charger.

    The twitter team seem useless on this one. Phone up and state your phone type, quote the website and page.

    In my case call went something like "I saw that Android phones have internet included so can you check that and change my flexible booster then?" He asked me the phone type, and what booster I wanted and it was done. Took less than 5mins. :T

    I never saw much of a speed boost thou on speed testing it but others have!

    Having tried phoning, and been assured by the drone that I was already on 3GB (the opposite to what the twitter team told me!), I gave emailing a try.

    Within about 6 hrs, I got the following response:
    ...I've checked your account personally and I'd like to tell you that I've added web n walk booster to your account for which gives you unlimited internet subject to 3GB fair use policy...

    Now, a speed test is showing around 1.5Gb, rather than 350Mb, which is much better. Result!

    Except... looking at "My price plan" on My T-mobile, nothing has changed - I still have Internet Booster and Capped Data Rate as Additional services. No mention of any other booster. Is there anything particular that I should be seeing - or any other way of confirming the package I'm on - in fact even that I've really got the 3GB limit as stated?

    confused :think:

    I rang TMobile last night but got through to call centre sounded very far away the fella on the phone did not have a clue what I was talking about when I informed him about my 1 gig allowance and wanting 3 so rang them back today and got my booster changed to 60 minutes international calls and got my 3 gig.I also asked him about 1 gig allowance being throttled but he said they was all the same speed anyway very happy with the package.
