My wife is on a £15.50/month contract. I called them Christmas Eve, her contract is up in February. I paid £17 early renewal fee, then £150 for a Nokia Lumia 920 with 300 minutes, unlimited browsing, lots of texts, unlimited landline (or I could have had t-mobile) minutes, plus free charging plate, free headphones: http://shop.wesc.com/product/bass-dj-white all on the same £15.50/mth contract.

I had considered switching to one of the virtual mobile phone companies, like lebara, and going PAYG, but this is much much cheaper.

Very generous - she doesn't go over her allowance, so not much profit from this...

    look like a good deal to me, those lumias are rather expensive sim free. There is an added bonus that it will hold some value when you come to sell it being 4g ready.

    They push people onto £36/mth contracts coming into the store, but that's £864 over 2 years, and yet when I said I wanted it on PAYG they looked at me like I was mad....

    From my research for browsing and minutes the best deal is around £15/month, so you are much better off on PAYG than paying £36/month for a 'free' phone.

    I used to buy £30/month contracts and shift down after 4 months but they kept changing the rules about that and now I find it's best just to pay up some £££ front and go for a cheap contract that you can just set and forget.
  • I cannot say about T-mobile but I can say about Nokia Lumia 920. It is a best phone right now in the market. Amazing features with android. I can recommend you this phone because I am using it.

    I thought it was Windows Phone OS?
