    It's good if it suits you, the deal will suit some and not others.
  • For my usage I think it's very good!

    A basic phone on a 2 year contract. Is it really worth paying £180 for - and the fact you may not use up the minutes each monthL

    I get 500Mb too, some months I use it all up, others I lose it as I've data left over. 5000 texts and 200m of calls. This costs me £3.95 per month, with a 12 month minimum.

    My commitment is capped at £48pa. Why pay more?

    Since when??? It's 7 days if ordered over the internet and provided you don't use the phone.

    i was having problems trying to place the order on the net and ended up phoning Tesco mobile, i was told it was 14 days...maybe it is not the same for phone orders.

    Yes it is 14 days with Tesco although it's not "working days"

    MJ is referring to the minimum 7 working days as per the DSR's but some companies such as Tesco O2 etc extend the period.
    It's not just about the money

    Since we don't know your actual usage requirements, how can we tell you if it's a 'good deal'? There's no point paying for minutes, data and text that you're not going to use. Iif you are a lower user, you might be better off on a SIM only or PAYG deal.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
