O2 are we mugs?
Options
On the O2 site the xperia z on contract is £549 plus £11pm for 24 months for 50 mins, unlimited texts and 100mb data, yet the handset on payg is £499 and a payg sim for £10 gets 75mins 500 texts and 100mb data and the allowance doubles every 3 months, why would anyone want the contract option?

I guess a lot of people can't afford the initial outlay for the handset so opt for contract0

Sure it can, it's an £11/month price plan - there's no fat in it for a handset subsidy.0

That contract will only be useful to texters. 60 minutes of talk time and 100mb of data? It shouts low user.0
