    Thanks the T Mobile £6 sound great to me. I don't understand the difference between a rolling contract and PAYG. Do I need to go into the TMobile shop or can I do it online? Can I keep the same number?
    Thanks

    Where do you get these deals? I've just been on the TMobile website. The cheapest rolling programme I can find is £10.21 for 100mb.

    On PAYG you can top up any amount and at any time unlike on a rolling contract where it is done by DD.
    On PAYG you don't have to give a 1 month notice if you want to cancel.

    And I guess he meant Chitter-Chatter, a subdivision of t-mobile.

    However, as I told you earlier, at t-mobile you can get £80.80 cashback through TCB for £10.21 rolling contract that makes it less than £4 p.m. in 1 year span and even cheaper/profitable over a shorter period.

    Thanks again Grumbler. Which booster? How does the internet booster work? Its says "fair usage" on internet. I think that's more than I'll need.
    Thanks again
    I'm just wary about the cash back as I've never used it before.

    * Data fair use policy - on the very same page

    You can see if the cashback is tracked or not.
    If it is not (unlikely) you can just return the sim back to t-mobile within 7 days and cancel the rolling contract before it started.

    In the worst case scenario (tracked, but refused) you just pay 3x£10.21 for 3 months of service, i.e. lose about £13 as compared to Chitter-Chatter.

    Grumbler, yet again many thanks. Can you advise on what the internet and text booster do? I'm not sure which to go for.
    Thanks

    Select the booster from the dropdown menu, then point the mouse to the 'i' icon nearby.

    Just looked on TCB. There are no transactions on my account. Should it not show yet?
    Thanks
