    It's a good deal even if you don't need these thousands, but get it in writing before agreeing.
    And it is absolutely unclear what "£10 international calling a month" means.

    At 46p/min to, say, France, this is a pretty worthless 'freebie'. Without it you can use your 2000 landline minutes to call French landlines for free and French mobiles for 2.9p.

    i never call internationally anyway

    is it worth calling them back saying ill keep contract going (which means paying £45 instead of £25 until september and not paying the £104 fee)

    see if they offer anything better

    Just a phone?
    What about some paperwork?
