Newbie Contract Question

Hello all,

I am currently on Tesco Mobile PAYG and use around 100 texts and 50 mins a month. I have been looking to go on contract but they seem way too much allowance for me.

The answer to this is likely to be No but i wanted to check first. If i went into CPW, would they be able to reduce prices / do a tailor made contract?

Thanks for you help

Karl

    no the networks do set contracts they may be able to do something on price using cashback
    best bet is have a look at u-fix by t-mobile its a mix between paug and contract
    so you have an allowance but if you need more at any time u can use prepay instead of getting a bill
    good for low users

    Thanks for your help, i might have a look on the cheap sites (dialaphone etc) to see what deals are about.

    Might be me being ignorant but i don't see the advantage of u-fix. The £20 a month you get 75mins and 50 texts. On the O2 contract you get 100 mins and 500 texts - surely its worth getting a higher allowance and not using it ?

    some people prefer it as an in-between of paug and contract because you can not run over on the bill and end up with big bills
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D
