Dialaphone/e2save questions

Hi there.

Sorry for the long thread and nooby questions, its just that I've read ALOT of reviews

I'm planning to carry out my first mobile contract and while in the hunt I stumbled across a Samsung Galaxy SIII £26 a month from both DAP and E2S.

Note: The £26 pm line rental excludes cashbacks and redemptions. Both deals do include some sort redemption, with DAP averging the costs to £22.75 pm and E2S £23.83; however I will not engage in these complications because a) it will cost me £1.50 per recorded letter sent b) its already a bargain at £26 (24 months). I am planning to spend £26 pm for 24 months without redemption.

I am also aware of both of the companies attempts to opt you into an insurance program that is said to be free for the first month and charges applying there after. Which brings me to my first question:

The moment I am up and running, can I opt out (instead of taking the risk of waiting 30 days etc)?

--

On Dialaphone's website, on top of the monthly £26 I noticed an 'Itemised Billing' charge of £1.50. I guess this for paper bills delivered to your home or something. Is this something I'm tied into and how would I go about cancelling if I can?

--

Data plans.
Say I'm allowed 750MB a month. Will I be warned when near exceeding the limit? If so, by text? Online? Through the network or the website?

Please if you have had absolutely any experience with these companies please reply :D

Again sorry for the long thread and many questions, I don't want to enter a contract I am not 100% familiar with. Also if you would like links feel free to ask

    Very good reasons indeed.
    Especially the first one - as both dap and e2s accept claims by emails. Why bother spending 15 minutes on making £50-£75?

    Of course, you can.

    No

    This depends on the network, but I think is easy to do with any.

    Pretty unlikely.
    Through the network or the website?
    You can usually check by calling your provider, sending a text message or logging into your online account.

    P.S. You are far too impatient, not to say impolite.

    I come from a gaming forum where reply times are equal to the light of speed in comparison to MSE.

    Sorry if I can across as rude and thanks for your answers!
