Hi
I'm on a monthly rolling contract with tesco for £10 a month, i get 250 mins, 3000 texts and 500mb internet use.

I'm happy with this, and i only go over £10 a month when i send texts to germany, and when i used a few when on holiday.

I have a samsung galaxy mini, which i've been happy with but the screen is a bit small, today when shopping in tesco i decided to ask the girl which would be a better phone to buy than the one i've got, as i would like a bigger screen, in the end she said why not go for this,

http://www.tesco.com/direct/samsung-galaxy-8gb-wifi-5-tablet/212-1846.prd?skuId=212-1846&pageLevel=

as i was explaining, that i was looking at buying a i-pad, and the girl said to incorporate, the 2 by getting the tablet, but i did think it was a tad to big for a phone.

Any advice thanks

    I asked could i up-grade my mobile but stay on my package but this wasn't available.
    Then i told her i wanted to pay about £100 for a phone, with a bigger screen, and that's when she said for me to buy the tablet and use it as a phone.
    thanks

    The Nokia Lumia 900 has a nice large screen and there are some good deals around for it.

    I would think you could get some cracking deals on the samsung s2 now that the 3 is out.

    Hi
    thanks i do like the galaxy, but i'm happy to exchange, (as long as it's to complicated to use)

    No way, do not combine your phone and a tab. They have different functionality.

    Can you really see yourself carrying around this "handset" in your "pocket" every day?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, its a great piece of kit, but it has its place....at home!

    Whats your budget, im sure we can recommend some alternative phones for you to take a look at?

    I dont think he is combining two.. rather he is being suggested to keep two separate...... OP, if u wana wait for few days (expected delivery are month end).. you can get google nexus in the same budget.. which would be miles ahead of this

    Hi
    yes that is what the girl at tesco told me i could do, just remove the sim card from my phone now and put it into the tablet and it can be used as a mobile phone and a tab.

    She said it would be bulky for my pocket, but would be ok in my handbag (female..lol)
    i'm not very technical, and just wanted a mobile with a bigger screen than i already had.

    Thanks for the advice because on taking the advice of the girl today i would have bought this and done what she said.

    decissions decissons

    thanks

    Hi, the Tab you linked doen't take a sim card, so cant be used as a phone.

    thanks no i won't be purchasing the tab to use as a phone, but the girls was really trying to get me to.

    I just want a screen that is bigger than the samsung i have now, as i'm struggling with my eyesight and when i make the letters bigger it's a pain.

    will try and have a look at those 2 phones tomorrow.
