Is there a Fixed Price Annual Fee Phone Contract?

Hi Folks

We would like to buy our teenage daughter a mobile phone that has a contract similar to Ufix but where we pay a fixed annual fee. Does anyone know if such a contract exists?

Thank-you

Jill

    no it doesnt
  • Blimey Dan - you were quick off the mark :-). Its a shame that there isn't one, at present she has a pay as you go contract - but spends her money on clothes, so never has any credit!

    Thanks for the reply

  • Does anyone experienced with Tmobile know if they will allow you to just credit the account?

    ie on ufix £15/month can you just stick £180 credit on it to do what beanynut2 is asking, however come the 13th bill (unless u cancel during the 12th month) direct debits will continue, annual contracts ONLY (without rolling contract afterward) doesn't exist im afraid

    You are right. You can do this & you can also get contracts where they tell T-mobile to bill unpfront (see scancom u-fix page - under one of the phone offers T-mobile bill £171 & scancom pay £21.01 of it - note the offers don't seem that up to date). However there are no upfront if you don't renew goes to pay&go (like the old MC60 on mix-it upfront - they were great offers).
    Certain OTT members have caused me to add this disclaimer: all advice given is free of charge & as such should be taken to be IIRC (as I don't spend hours researching all answers :eek: )!
