It's the best they've offered me:

12 Month Contract
£35/month
750 Minutes Anytime / 100 Texts
NO ROLLOVER (Companies don't do it anymore?)

N95 for £85

That is the best I've gotten from them out of 4/5 times of calling...

Currently on 500 Minutes Anytime / 100 Texts for £25/month

What does everyone think?

    If you need more texts/minutes than that you would be better going onto an 18 month tariff. You would then get long weekends for life rather than the first 6 months you will get with a 12 month contract. hth

    I know you said you don't want an 18 month contract, but if your willing to buy the phone offline, you could go with three. The Direct talker 1000 tariff (750mins/150 txts plus extras) is normally £35 but you can get it half price on certain tariffs for the full 18 months, plus there's Quidco and £30 recommend a friend.

    if you look at the £17.50 reduction(not including the quidco and raf discount) just over 12 months thats £210 and £315 over 18 months, the proceeds from selling the crappy handset you get on the deal can be used towards the N95
    SLC: £13000+

    Quidco
    : £
    131.24 (paid) + £0 (validated) = £131.24
    Valued Opinions
    : £75 (paid) + £52.30 (received) + £4.50 (pending) = £131.80
    StudentPanel: £25
