help with phone contract jargon and stuff..

mrpeterg

need a bit of advice please, ive never had a contract phone before and im not sure what is ment by some of the terms and i haven had a reply frm the email i sent to 3 yet.

Ive been looking at 3's Direct Text 675 package. It says you get 600 texts, does this mean over the course of the 18 month contract or will i get 600 texts every month?

Also do the phones come with warranty and/insurance as standard?

Also, does anyboday have any advice in general?

Thank you

to clarify
It will be 600 texts MONTHLY

your handset will have a 12mth warranty as standard

Insurance is usally at extra cost.

Hi, the package you are looking at will be the following, 75 mins a month to call any U.K mobile or home landline number, 600 texts per month to use to any U.K phone. When buying the phone you will be asked if you want to take out insurance which is with care 3.

excellent, only £15 a month for 600 texts and a free phone. perfect for me.

Dont suppose you know if picture text messages are included in that 600 or if its just standard ones.

Again, thank you so much
