Trying to get best contract..

Options
Hi there. I'm a student and my parents are getting me a contract. I'm looking to spend around £30 maximum. I'm after the blackberry bold 9700. After doing weeks of research it is the best phone for me. I'm looking for 512MB a month usage for internet as I'm only using it for MSN/BB messenger/Facebook/Emails. So i doubt I'd need 1GB. I want unlimited texts or at least a high amount. And around 300+ Minutes. The big question though IS: If I were go to go onto a different provider from o2 Which my girlfriend and my mum are on, Would another provider offer me two phone numbers I could call and text to for three? That's the ultimate Decider. Thanks - Josh.

    Sorry also I'd want the phone for free. I've seen an orange contract that does this but I'm wondering about the two free numbers.

    P4U have a deal with a free phone for £30 pm and with 8 months 1/2 price line rental over 18 months on o2.
    300 mins and 3000 texts. Should be £23.33 per month taking cashback into account (easy with p4u).

    Also go through a cashback site like Topcashback and get £35 back - this reduces your line rental further by almost £2 per month.

    In theory, yes. They might be reluctant to accept you if you haven't got a credit history though - you might get away with paying them a deposit (which you get back after a certain amount of time).
  • From dialophone with o2 i can get: 10 months for 12.50 then £25 therafter.

    500 minutes a month

    unlimited texts, unilimted wifi, 500MB usage of email and internet.

    I get the phone for free. It's £25 a month but £12.50 for the first 10 months. 24 month term contract, from dialaphone. Overall I think that's the best contract for me?
