  • Here's a tip, order your phone online for store collection using fast track (paying for it online) When you do this you don't have to pay for top-up's.

    They could have insisted you bought a camel if they wanted. You had the option to decline, which I would have probably done if I wasn't sure of the deal.

  • Most shops are not digital and you can pay in advance with Fasttrack, so that you don't need to top up. However my problem with Argos instead is that they don't accept Paypal on new goods; only on their Ebay store.

    Bargain?
    You should be able to get 20 camels for under a tenner.

    OP, if you already have a contract then why are you going for a payg phone, surely it'll be cheaper (or even free) to to get one on upgrade?
