Cheapest contract needed

Hi guys, i have the tmobile flex 35 contract and know that there are much cheaper deals offering more.

Does anyone know which networks offering best value for money?

I must be able to switch my current number to that network

Thanks

Alexi

    An obvious question: what value? What are your needs and usage?

    I think £40ish contracts or bundles with 'unlimited' minutes offer the best value for money as the cost of one minute is close to zero.
    However, for a person using 10 minutes per month PAYG with 6p/min is much better.
  • Thanks for that i must check that out.

    i also hope to get some more feedback in this post but thanks again

    There is no one cheapest contract. You need to calculate what usage you make of a phone and then calculate using that.

    I get excellent value from my £25 per month One plan as I use a huge amount of data and texts. A friend pays £1 a month for about 10 mins of calls a month. We're both on the right tariffs for our needs, but those tariffs would be totally useless were we to swap.

    The best value contract is based on your usage.

    No point going for one of the cheapest deals if the included minutes/texts barely covers your usage and you get hit with extra charges or going for an expensive deal giving way more minutes/texts/data then you will ever use in a month.
  • i send alot of emails and i make calls to all networks which im speading 35-40 pounds a month on.

    i want something with unlimited call text and net for less than what im paying

    Do you still not understand that £35-£40 is meaningless?

    Unlimited everything for less than £35? I don't think so. And why on earth do you need unlimited net just for sending e-mails, even 'a lot'?
  • Based on your other post stating you want the iPhone 4S or Galaxy S 3 you've narrowed down the options tariff wise by quite a bit. Now the requirement for unlimited calls is doing so further. Your monthly price range is between 33 and 36... So it makes very little difference who you choose. Just check coverage and go with who has the best signal.

    T-Mobile do unlimited everything for £21 on a 12 month sim only, the OP might well be able to get it for less than that as a retention offer.

    Giffgaff (PAYG) give unlimited texts and data, and 250 minutes for £10 per month.

    Do you really need more than 250 minutes per month?
