Offer from Orange - anygood?

mattastic

JUst rang up to get my PAC code and they made me the following offer:

24 Months
Wildfire HTC S Black
600 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
500Mb data

£15 per month

How does that sound?

The 500mb seems a bit small, but I would not be using it to surf all day, just to check train times, news, google maps, every now and again...

Any thoughts much appreciated

Ok if you don't mind having the same phone for the next two years, it will be out of date in the next 6 months.

Personally I think 18 month contracts are too long, but you just don't get any good offers on 12 month contracts anymore.

To add to this, if you were to get this deal from Orange direct as a new customer, it would be £35pm 24m contract.

For 24x£12 you can get 200+200+1G at talkmobile and £45 cashback.

500MB data is worthless because their 3G network is so dire you'll lose the will to live waiting for even Google.com to load.

On the face of it it looks good value for what you get. The phone will age but if you only want a phone to talk, text and browse the internet it will be fine. Network coverage must be ok as it shares t-mobile's. Ask yourself do you need all those mins and text? If not then you would be wasting money. You can get cheaper for a bit less included. It's easier to upgrade to a more expensive tariff if you need more than downgrading to a cheaper one.
