Do you think this is a good deal or not?

I'm currently on the T-mobile Flext 25 tarriff paying £20 p/m (300 mins or 300 texts or a mixture of both, anytime/network) and my 18 month contract is due up next month (March).

If I dont want an upgrade phone, they said I can stay on the same tarriff for just £10 p/m.

It sounds ok to me, but what do YOU think? Is it a good deal or could I get better? Its about the right amount of minutes for me (though more for less if you can get it is always better, eh?!)

Thanks.

    Have you tried the virgin sim only deals which are pretty good and actually work out free for you.

    Seems pretty standard for them to offer the tenner off instead of a new phone... look at your phone usage closely and change your tarriff on-line to what suits you best. Then when your contract actually does expire call up and ask what deals they'll do... and try to go through to the thinking about leaving number - now that you are no longer bound to them they will offer you a better deal than what you have now if you ask for a PAC... the renewal offer is based on your last year's spend, not what you are on now.

    Free? Interesting.......... How?
    Had a look at their tarriffs, but they seemed pretty poor value. Have I missed something?
  • It's a cashback deal and has been around for about 12 months. There's a separate thread on it on here. Make sure you know what you're doing if you go for it:-

    I'd suggest asking for it as £10 - and getting a free phone too. It won't be a top of the range upgrade phone, but SURELY you can get something... =)
