    The deal is 500 minutes,unlimited texts,unlimited internet but with a fair usage policy of 500mb. You will stay on this deal untill you decide to change.
    I am on the old £6 a month deal which they no longer do and my service and costs have just stopped the same.
    Not sure how long they will keep the offer open for.

    ah right, so once you've nabbed the deal, that's it - you're on it until you want to change? even if they withdraw that particular tariff, you still get to keep the same deal?

    i've been warned off 30 day contracts for the reason that they can be pulled (with notice) & your tariff disappears. if that's not the case, then this deal would save me £240 over 24 months compared to the O2 plan i was looking at (this sim only/buying own phone vs monthly contract inc. phone).

    You are right once you are on the tariff you will stay on the deal even if they stop that offer.

    spoke to them yesterday. There's no spending cap on this plan so you could go way over without receiving a warning text (data usage).
    They said they are unlikely to pull the plan for those who have signed up but you must do so before end December. However they did try to get me to be interested in the £15pm SIM only which is staying put after jan.
    If you want a spending cap, they suggest other plans which have a £40, 60 pound spending limit.

    On the £10 SIM only offer, your calls to CS and voicemail come out of your 500 minutes.

    They didn't seem to think it was a plan suitable for smartphones

    i wonder why? 500mb fair use is pretty standard on other tariffs/providers, perhaps it's because you won't get a warning on any excess usage?
  • for a heavy web user that's a great offer from T-mobile, unfortunately the orange/t-mob signal at my house is nearly non-exsistant, so not much use to me! great deal if you don't mind a 12 month tie in though :)
