24 months??? What are networks trying to do??? I have seen that orange also have 24 month deals.
I wouldnt recommend that length of a contract to anyone. 18 months maximum and even thats long enough. The only real benefit is the extra minutes and texts the give every month.Had £80,000 in Savings - All GONE!!! BYE BYE:A Single, 27, Aspie, Gooner :A0 -
I'm suprised the lowest tariff is £30! It would have been more interesting to have included a lower tarriff with fewer minutes and texts but still including the long weekends! Personally, I would never go for a 24 month contract but I do know people that just want a cheap deal and are not worried about what mobile they use.0

i was offered this deal yesterday,
they wouldnt offer any discount on the line rental, been with o2 for about 10 years, am gonna go buy a vodafone and spend my £100+ per month with them.
Goodbye o2.0 -
I wouldn't go with O2 anyway, not after my first and last time with them this year, but let's address the 24 months.
Now I may be totally wrong, but many of the people I spoke to and whom I've advised went for a contract just to get the phone they wanted. Sometimes this was cheaper than buying the phone outright, often not but anyway.
Personally I'm a tech junkie and like to be on top of things, the latest phone, etc. Now if I were going for a contract to get a phone I wanted, that phone would be out of date within 12 months, let alone 2 years! Just look at the monopoly the networks are making on that 2 year contract! Say an N95 at £35 a month, you're talking £840 on top of the average £100 you have to pay for the phone, and that's assuming you don't downgrade half way through or are allowed an upgrade half way through, which I'm not sure about.
Devils are there to tempt us, it's up to us to resist.
H.Know me for who I am, not for who I say I am.0
