    Personally I think you should wait until you're working before you get a contract phone.

    Just be careful. I remember many many years ago running up phone bills of over £400 a month :eek: I now stick to PAYG and the max. I ever spend is £20 a month. Not that I have any friends now to call/text, perhaps that's why it's so cheap :rotfl:
