Hi

This will be the first contract phone I have had and really need O2 as the coverage where I live is pretty dire with the other networks.

P4U has it at

£25pm - 24 months, 300mins, unlmtd texts but no internet which I intend to go to O2 for a bolt on. (+£5pm)

total £720
or

£30pm - 18 months, 300mins, standard texts, no internet + bolt on £5

total £630

I've looked at other sites but dont like the reviews for customer care etc.

Do you reckon this is the best deal I'm likely to get

Is it worth adding the £6.99 insurance on top of the deal

My main question is:

Do most of you take out the insurance or will it be covered on my household insurance

danlojo

40 views and no one can tell me if they take out the insurance?

I am waiting for a decent bargain on the normal Desire. I will probably take an insurance because it seems that the device gets corrupt easily. Therefore it might be worthwhile taking out an insurance.

Hope this helps.

To redress the balance a little, I ordered an HTC Legend from Vodaphone and after over a week of waiting and several calls chasing the phone up I eventually cancelled and bought a Desire on Orange unlocked to all networks from CPW. The customer (dis)service I got was enough to convince me to steer well clear, the funds they invest in Formula One would be put to better use with their own customer service.

I'm looking for an HTC Wildfire (not on contract). I already have a Virgin SIM that I'd like to use with it, so it must be unlocked. The cheapest I've seen from a reputable retailer is Amazon for £205, it was this price before Christmas and I was hoping to get one cheaper in the sales, does anyone know where I could get one cheaper? Thanks.

Think "Three" do a Widlfire for £190 on pay-as you go.

Don't know if it will be sim free or not.

System

£179.99 + £10 top up from Argos on 3/Orange

I think it will be unlocked? They don't seem to have it available on the Orange website yet, so I don't think it will be

Tesco have it for 159.97 - don't know if Tesco phones are locked.

I'm after my next mobile, and have decided on the HTC Desire HD

the best deal I have found for it is from buymibilephones.net

I have seeen threads on here saying bad things about buymobilephones.net. these seem to be about cashback and gifts.

I never bother with cashback or gift type deals.

I just go for the phone and contract deal.

should I buy the mobile from them?

the deals I'm interested in:

T-Mobile
18 month contract
Unlimited Internet Booster (3gb fup)
600 mins voice
500 texts
£30.00/mth
£19.99 for phone

T-Mobile
18 month contract
Unlimited Internet Booster (3gb fup)
300 mins voice
300 texts
£25.00/mth
£99.99 for phone


If you reckon I should not buy it from them, then where else would be a good deal for the HTC Desire HD?

preferences:
18 month contract.
T-Mobile
loads of data
little voice minutes
little texts
ideally in the £20-30 per month range.

I'm willing to pay upto £100 for the mobile, if that makes it chjeaper over the life of the contract.
