Orange Dolphin 15 contract

Mikey379

I'll soon be going to Uni in September and i've seen the Dolphin 15 contract on the Orange website with unlimited texts.

Is this a good offer or are there any catches? I see the phones they're offering aren't the best but i'm hoping i can work my charm on them and get a different phone.

Also one little thing that's confusing me is that are Picture messages and WAP browsing considered as extra and charged seperate from the £15? I'm on PAYG at the moment so I wasn't sure so realistically it's going to be more than £15 a month.

And are there any better offers out there and ideally any Student offers? I can find any at all but could it be it's the wrong time of year?

Thanks for your help.

Browsing is likely to be extra - probably charged per mb downloaded.

MMS messages sometimes count as 3 SMS messages in the free allowance. But sometimes the are charged on top, best to check when you call them.

But apart from that it seems like a good deal. I am going to go for it myself but am pestering them into giving me the a blackberry first hehe.

MMs is not included. neither will 3/4 sms count for 1mms. MMS is charged at 25p if under 50kb, 50p if over (as far as i remember)

Text message delivery reports are charged at 1p each. so ensure these are turned off, especially with unlimited SMS useage.

mobile internet - different bundles available.

cheapest is £1 all day browsing (max 25meg)

otherwise will not be charged more than £1 on any day which you use the mobile internet (max 25meg allowance - which is a lot if just using for browsing etc)

X-net mins outside of the 100 incl. is 35p/min. so quite expensive if you envisage using more than the 100.
