holy schmoke! help with these tariffs please...

bosey

I haven't had a contract phone for some time and tbh I could do with some catch-up advice on a new tariff.

:idea: I'm looking for between 600-1000 minutes per month and 50-100 texts (actually my text need is pretty small atm so even a dozen would do!). I've joined quidco and have been looking at the 3 network stuff.

:idea: I hear o2 are tricky on the credit clearance (i've moved house recently and have no bills in my name)

:idea: are e2save anygood these days? have rebate companies been getting lazy with paying?

If anyone has any pointers/recent experience/recommendations i'd appreciate it

I'm with 3 at the moment on the Direct Talker 1000 tariff (750 mins/150 txts) 50 MMS/50 Video call mins and £5 free downloads a month. All for £17.50 p/m (half price 18 months). I got the N80r at the time but their phone choice at the moment is poor! I sold the N80r and now have the Nokia N73.

You can also get £82.50 cashback (previously £100) using Quidco and if you use the recommend a friend, you and ur friend can get £30 each (pm me if you don't know anyone on 3). If you ask a question online you can also get a free bluetooth headset. They are also giving away 512mb cards away at the moment. Works out at around £11.25 p/m

At the moment you can get the LG U880 Pink and LG U300 Orange on 18 months half price, not the best handsets around but sell them and buy the handset you want.

I also have a cashback contract with E2Save and haven't had any problems but as to which contract suits you it depends on how organised you are in claiming cashback cheques
