  • What they're asking for is a deposit. As in: you'll get the money back once you've shown them that you're a good customer.

    I had the same thing happen to me when I first signed up with T-Mobile. After three months of paying my bill on time and in full (direct debit, so no actual effort involved) they added the deposit as a credit on my account, which then covered the next few bills. The girl in the T-Mobile shop told me that this was standard practise for new customers as they apparently have problems with people signing contracts on expensive new handsets and then leaving the country.
  • is 3 network any good. see they do some cheap deals

    I've been with them for years, and I wouldnt go any where else as they are too cheap. just check that you can get 3 in your area by clicking on the link on there website.



    Pls be nice to all MSer's
    There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps.
    Tomorrow never come's as today is yesterday and tomorrow is today:confused:

    MERRY CHRISTMAS FELLOW MSer's:xmastree:
