Hiya, I need a new phone, can afford £25/pcm. However I have no idea what I should get! A good deal is important. I don't want some rubbish 100 min one as I phone a lot.

    I have but only the newer models are showing up for me, and they're deals like 100 mins unlimited texts and 250 mbs net for this price. I would rather get an older phone but more minutes and internet allowance lol. :)

    Such a wide choice, you'd need to give us what you want from a phone.

    I take it you want a smartphone as you mention data
    iOS, Android, Windows?
    Length of contract?
    Have you considered buying a phone outright and getting a SIM only contract?
    How many minutes, messages and data do you actually want?

    How about an iPhone 4S (750 mins 5000 texts 1GB data) £24.50/month (24 month contract)

    If not an iPhone, as examples, for...
    £7.50 a month you can get a phone and 250 mins, 5000 texts, 500MB data
    £10 a month you can get a phone and 500 mins, 5000 texts, 500MB data
    £12.50 a month you can get a phone and 750 mins, 5000 texts, 1GB data
    £18.50 a month you can get a phone and 2000 mins, 5000 texts, 2GB data
    Each on 24 month contracts

    I have a Samsung S4 Mini on Virgin Media for £20 pm. Includes 1000 minutes, 500mb and unlimited texts.

    If you're a Virgin Media customer already, you save £10 pm.
    Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked
    50p saver #40 £20 banked
    Virtual sealed pot #178 £80.25
