Hi,

I am a student and currently on a t-mobile sim only 30 day plan with is £20

I was looking for a offer with a phone, and I came up with this (yes, i know its refurbished, and I dont mind since i get a years warranty)

Three Netwrok (I don't mind the network as I have been with them before with excellent service)
I get a free refurbished HTC Desire with 12 month warranty,
500 mins,
5000 texts
5000 3-3 mins (my whole family is on 3)
free skype, msn etc


All for £25 a month

Now £25 is a stretching it a bit, so I wondered if anyone knows if i could get it cheaper if I got a familymember to open a seocnd line on their contract?

Thanks In Advance!

  • If you are dead set on a Desire then that is probably the best deal you are going to get. Don't forget, however, that that contract is going to be for 24 months. Do you really want to be tied to a contract for that long? Also, the Desire HD is coming along soon (October?), so better deals may be available then.

  • I saw a "managers special" a few weeks ago where they were offering a refub Desire for £20 on a 24 month contract. If you are happy with Three, then go in store and negotiate rather than taking the price off the net.

    Additionally, look at the Wildfire. It's not up to the Desire's standard, but it's probably still far better than what you have now!
    In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.

    This is a good, although not great deal. I take it you have a data allowance as well??
