The same applies to the first deal.
24*£20.42=£490
24*£17+£110=£518

So £28 more for 2years of 200 extra mins per month / 4700 extra texts per month and 500mb extra data per month.

bargain.

Hi, just thought I'd let you know about the deal I got from the Three network. The only snag is that its a contract but I just got one last week and after a bit of haggling (on the phone, not in store) I managed to bag a free phone, 500 mins to any network, any time, 5000 txts a month (lol) AND all you can eat internet!
It's a brilliant phone and I got all this for £18 a month! :j
As I said, it is a contract but to me its well worth it, dont think you will get a better deal anywhere on pay as you go!
There are a few options in regards to the texts/mins etc and you do have to push your luck as far as you can but it is definetly worth thinking about!
You know you have got the best deal they can offer when they are going to let you go without getting your business, they are advertising the deal on the radio up here in Scotland so it is no secret!

Hope this helps!

If you need all this.
'3' are known to offer much better (in terms of minutes, texts and Gb) deals than other networks, but surprisingly they still have (AFAIK) less than 10% share of UK market.

However, my points were just that neil40 forgot to mention £110 and that cashback and proceedings from the old phone don't make any difference when comparing the deals from the same retailer.

Totally agree - no need to buy more than you need but op asked for unlimited text

Nevertheless, that is the deal I got! It doesnt worry me who has the largest share of the UK market as the inclusive calls and texts are not limited to a single network! In their own words - "
We have the UK’s biggest 3G network – designed for the mobile internet. So more people in more places have better coverage when using mobile internet with Three. That means you can get the best out of your phone, tablet or dongle.
Independent research by YouGov has found that we’re:

Rated No.1 network for Mobile Broadband - rated best for speed, reliability and quality.

• Rated No.1 network for mobile internet speed and value by smartphone users"

So I think they possibly have slightly more than 10% of the UK market, this is the link I read

http://www.three.co.uk/Support/Coverage
it also explains Skype and has a lot of information on the network, I think 3 are growing in popularity, and I just wanted to point this offer out to alirob 12, it is after all, an option for him to consider!

I did not ask for this ridiculous amount of text messages! So I do not see it as buying more than I need, I see it as not looking a gift horse in the mouth lol!
