    that a 2 year contract?

    Sorry yes, 2 years. I'm happy with that, it is a business tool primarily, I'm not worried about changing phones left, right & centre.
    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)

    That's a good deal ... I just don't need that many talk minutes (esp as I can't get good reception in my office - from any provider - so wouldn't be able to use the mobile for calls when I'm in the office anyway)

    I had also set my budget at £20 per month (which my deal meets, I reclaim the VAT).

    i'm currrently with Orange, been with them a fair few years. My contract is up in 2 weeks. been offered...

    300mins (i dont go over this)
    unlimited texts
    'unlimited' internet (apparently ive beed on an unlimited blackberry internet allowance, even though ive never had a blackberry but i dont get charged for data)
    £22.50/month + vat (18 months)
    FREE samsung galaxy S2

    Good Deal?
    would prefer the htc desire s2 because the samsung looks too big for my pocket but htc is £50. any advice?

    I am due an upgrade from vodaphone - mobiles.co.uk who i bought my last contract from are trying to sell me a new deal - an S2, 24 months, 600 mins (i need this many), unlimited texts and 500 internet for £27.75 a month using cashback. i dont mind doing the cashback but this still seems quite high compared to some others, is it cheaper to go straight to vodaphone i wonder? who were you with custardy to get the 18 month deal?
    thanks for any advice!

    Slightly off topic, but how can companies like phones 4 u offer Vodafone contracts cheaper than Vodafone themselves.....I was looking at a new phone and it's £41pm directly through Vodafone but phones 4 u are offering the exact same phone/package for £31pm? Is it just a case of Vodafone trying to rip people off?

    many factors come into it
    P4U buy in sim free phones and offer a contract withi it
    the netowrks offer sim locked with their own guff on them
    however,none of the resellers could beat Oranges upgrade offer for my OH
    so its not always cheaper
