    I am with T mob too. I get 200 mins/unlimited texts and 1gb data unlimited browsing £5.83 a month. Same tarrif but negotiated an extra 100 mins.
    However I went for the Huawei Ascend P1 lte which I think is very powerful speced for the price. I would check it out

    Great that you good a good deal too. :) I'm happy with the Sony Xperia SP, it looks like a great phone and I don't need the extra 100 minutes, so that's not a problem. I've got 3GB data unlimited browsing, but that doesn't mean a lot to me! lol
    Money, money, money, must be funny, in the rich man's World!

    Hi,

    Could I have your thoughts please?

    I have been on a contract with T-Mobile - my first ever, as I used to have PAYG - and the 24 months is now up. I'd had a good deal via Quidco, for a Samsung Galaxy Ace: £5.90 for the first 12 months, then up to £10.90, 100 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited internet. I've been pleased with T-Mobile so want to stay with them, although my Galaxy Ace is now playing up a bit.

    I contacted them via their Chat facility yesterday and have got what seems like a great deal for an upgrade and I wondered what people on here think. Is it too good to be true?

    It's a Sony Xperia SP, £5.93 for 24 months, with the same package, but including free voicemail this time, free delivery. I will have to pay £39.99 for the phone. I've read reviews on the phone and like it.

    Can anyone see anything I may have missed on this good deal? I found it strange how they can cut my monthly rental in half for the 24 months this time too.

    I'd be very grateful for any feedback, as I want to get back to them today.

    Many thanks. :)


    Yes its fine. They do a very similar for meet and it went through fine

    This all sounds good - but what's the difference btw 1GB data / unlimited browsing? I'm shifting about 750kb at the moment, but, have the unlimited internet as stated above. I don't want to have to pay for it!

    T_mobile have always said I have unlimited browsing (internet) and a data download limit, used to be 500mb nows its 1 gb on top of the unlimited internet.

    The difference between browsing web data and streaming/downloading

    In fact I have been told there is no official download limit, just a fair use policy. I have never seen any data usage figures on my bills or online account

    Thanks Rols - now I know what I need to "negotiate" just like the OP!

    This is all making very interesting reading but I am still no closer to deciding! I like the look of the Huawei P1. I have had a couple of Huawei handsets and they have been great.

    I think my current deal with tmobile has unlimited internet as I browse a lot but like rolstherat my online account has no date usage recorded. I also use a tmobile rapport to tether devices when away from home without any problems.

    This may swing it back in tmobiles favour over Ovivo if I can get a similar good offer to those that have been posted here :)

    I find the P1 great for the low price point you can get it on.
