    Depends on what phone you want?

    The OSF is a good budget Android phone. But look at the costs on that deal.

    Over the 2 years that's £240 (minimum).
    You can get the phone on payg from Orange for £79.
    Get a £5 a month deal (if you can) which is £120 over the 2 years plus the £79; £200, saving £40.
    Not a lot I grant you, but you are then able to change the phone whenever you like. In 18 months the OFS will be a dinosaur (if it even lasts that long).

    BB are nice (not a fan personally, but I had to test a number of them on the network a while back).

    If you want Blackberry messenger and push email you have to have the BIS add on which is £5 month on just about all the networks. This connects you to the BB server where all the emails and messages go through.

    If you don't want those (and to be honest, if you don't you might as well get a different phone) then you don't need BIS.

    Insurance is always charged at £6p/m on anything other than iPhones/tablets. It has to be listed on the bill and you'll see the charge for that on there.
