TBH its no different from data not coming 'as standard' with some smartphone contracts out there at the moment!

That is bad, but at least it is known up front. Whoever thinks they may be stung for calling voicemail when they take an expensive contract out? If you get 600 minutes for example, you'd assume calling voicemail would be altogether free or come out of those minutes, but to charge on top takes the biscuit!

My sister's just suggested Tesco - look at their costs for contract phones -

Hopefully I can post a link -

Voicemail again!!! I just think all the extra charges in there just going to keep mounting up......... Think I may have to bite the bullet and go for that TalkMobile deal..........

He he, not quite yet though, after my tea later I will decide.

I'd avoid Tesco, as I have heard their data charges are expensive if you go over their 500MB limit. TalkMobile gives you twice the data limit, is £3-a-month cheaper and gives £45.45 Topcashback. It seems like the best deal for you, but maybe first call Orange to see if they will match or beat it when you get your PAC code?

Think I've found my deal!!!

I'll maybe add on that £2 add on for damned voicemail though, just to cover everything! Annoyed that I have to though grrrr!!

Do I get the phone first or my PAC thingy? - orange can't possibly better that!!!!

Thanks for your help - much appreciated!

You are on PAYG and don't have to give any notice to Orange. They have to issue the PAC within 1 hour after you request it and it will last for 30 days.

Can't seem to find that £2.odd bolt on from T-Mobile's website anywhere! Is it a specific thing for voicemail? and I suppose I can add it on from T Mobile after I'm up and running?!!! Thanks in advance

I'm scared about buying through Topcashback!!! Might check if I can go through Nectar lol!!! I don't want any trouble/hassle lol

Are you serious?
Use IE and clear the cookies.

ok, I'm going to go through Nectar and buy from Carphone Warehouse, the same deal, as Mobile Phones Direct aren't on there! Only one more question - promise! 500mb downloading - what does that mean in terms of stuff can I download - it would just be songs I suppose and maybe the odd you tube video?

Sorry!

I can't believe that you are serious.
Some 750 points instead of £30+? And I don't see the same deal there.

If you have wifi you can download songs for free. 500 will be sufficient for an odd video.

500mb data - enough? 500Mb Data ?
Mobile data usage - is 500MB enough?
What does 500mb of data give me?
What is 500mb data equal to
