    I wonder what these big spenders get for their money - do they use anywhere near their paid for minutes, would they be better off, on pay as you go.

    I pay 7.70 per month for plenty of mins/txts/data and new phone included. So why pay more? I dont get why people have to pay 30+ quid a month for roughly the same just because they have to have an iphone / Galaxy. My smartphone does all the same basic jobs - i.e. does calls, texts, has a camera and can browse the internet.

    Always annoys me that we talk about people having no disposable income when they blow their money unnecessarily (Sky is another good example!)

    I voted the £50+ but actually my airtime bill is £28 a month for unlimited calls, texts and 8gb data. The other £25 is for the phone.

    It's around £45.

    For that I have 2 brand new phones with unlimited mins/texts. One if 4G with a big data allowance and the other is 3g with 1gb. I also have a 600 minutes, 1k texts and 25mg data SIMO.

    The site wouldn't work when I tried to order on there? So I got £40 credit on my account and I asked for my handset costs to be taken off when I upgraded my contracts, which they were :)

    Oh I do have a landline, but I couldn't even tell you what the number is I only have it for broadband, for which I ended up paying around £6 a month after cashback and vouchers are taken I to account - better than the £25 a month that I was previously using!

    25.99. HTC one.

    All my calls and text and unlimited internet, or if it is topped I've never reached it and always using it.

    No home phone.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
