    Just had a look - its that the free app version? Still seems to get around the 40p pm problem.

    How is t-mobile SIM only working out for you?

    No problems, coverage has been fine and I like the PAYG nature of their european data roaming.

    I have come to the end of a Chitterchatter £6 month offer and I'm here looking for a new deal!

    I signed up for this and this morning I got a letter from T-mobile saying they were taking two "deposits" of £260! Does anyone else know what the hell is going on here? I agreed to pay £11 a month not £260 up front and even if I paid the entire contract up front it should be £132

    Edit: Seems it might have something to do with a crappy credit rating according to this thread

    Im looking at a Tesco Mobile deal.

    7.50 a month, free HTC Desire C Phone, 100 minutes, 5000 texts and 500mb of Data but someone suggested yesterday to look at Oviva

    I would certainly recommend this

    We got this contract last december for our son (aged 13). The phone then was an HTC wildfire S, and he's moaning about it now (can't move apps to SD card on that phone, but it's a perfectly good 'starter phone', or fine for a grown-up who doesn't want umpteen games on the phone) - but the airtime contract has been fine. Support is as good as I've experienced on any mobile network, the limits are good for the price, it includes voicemail AND ( a huge bonus for us) you can cap the contract so you can't accidentally run up a big bill - apparently you can also top-up if you get near the limit half-way thru a month (haven't told my son that), and if 500mb of data isn't enough, they'll upgrade you to 1gb for an extra £2.50 per month.

    The deal in the OP relies on getting cashback, this tesco deal doesn't, AND you can get Tesco reward points on the contract if you like.

    So if it was the T mobile offer or Tesco, I'd get the Tesco deal (and sell the free HTC phone to put towards it)
    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)
