it's legit, but do you really need that much data?? Alternatives are 300min /600mins unlimited texts 750mb data /250mb . Browsing is unlimited and all 08 numbers are included in there tariffs

Great that its legit, I do use the internet a lot!

I'm not really sure what you mean with this? the 750/250mb thing? I'm kind of a newbie with contracts

He's just saying taht there are alternatives to the one you posted which have

300 mins and 750 Mb data
or
600 mins and 250Mb data

AS for using a lot of data - do you use Wifi? Thats what most people do to cut down on 3G data usage

I took this deal, it's certainly 'legit'!! I've moved from a BB to the S3 and this thing eats data, I'm using about 500MB a week on average (a third of this is the facebook app) and I connect to wifi when I'm home. From what I understand T-Mobile don't limit browsing/email etc only streaming and downloading. I'm certainly glad I've got the 1.5 GB deal, it depends how much you talk on the phone, I only use about 50 mins a month so it suits me.

Great thanks for that, I'm the same, on BB at the moment and BB data is amazing I hardly use anything! So if you say it uses lots of data I think this deal is best, I barely phone people either, use my work phone for that!

the phone uses no data - the apps that are on it may well do but thats another matter entirely.

I use on average 80MB a month but then I dont use facebook, youtube etc. I use it for surfing, emails and the odd app. I have GPS turned off unless I need to know where I am etc.

Interesting how different people use their mobiles.

I have had a mobile phone for many years. Initially I used it to make and receive telephone calls. Then along came texts and now smartphones & apps.

I use my Android mainly on wi-fi for internet connections, but my main use is still making and receiving telephone calls. I use about 500mb of wi-fi data and about 100 mb of 3G per month.

The idea of spending £624 over the 24-month contract to get only 100 minutes per month and then pay whatever the out of bundle rate per minute would worry me. In effect, the handset on this contract is less of a mobile phone than a gaming/information machine

I would rather pay an extra £5 per month or so to get better minutes.

But, as I say, everyone is different.
