Best Deal on a Nokia N95?

shockingmoment

I'd like one of these phones. Need about 200mins / 50 txts per month, plus the unlimited browsing option.

Looking for a 12m or 18m deal. Don't mind paying £150 up front for the phone.

Don't really want a Cashback - had these before with E2save - worked well but now don't need the hassle!

Best deal anywhere?

Thanks

SM

today's daily mail nokia n95 +8gb memorycard free £15 month 18 month contract direct from T mobile only.this is the third time I've seen the advert but cant see any charge for the phone at all,seems too good to be true.for that you get 170 minutes or 340 texts.the website says the phone is £160,but says it's free in the mail.08454122443 is the phone number if your interested.

They will have you over with the small print. I saw this advert and rang up about it. It says one or more of these phones is available with this offer. They interpret it as cheap tariff = cheap phone and its not the N95

The cheapest way of getting an n95 for free from t-mobile is the Flext 35 (currently £30 per month). The advert in question I believe has the 6500 Classic on? As thats a phone free with the flext 20 (£15 per month).

Thanks everyone.

Deal works out as:
£34 / month allowance for calls @20p / min or 10p / txt
Flext 20 (18 months) £20.00
£5 OFF line rental -5.00
Free extras FREE 8GB Memory card
Web 'n' walk Internet £7.50
Price / month £22.50 plus phone cost £159.99

Seems ok?

I dunno - if you're likely to go over the flext allowance by £9.16 or so a month (which is 45 mins more than the standard 170mins), then you're better off getting the phone free and paying £30/month for Flext 35. It'll also earn you a way better upgrade deal at the end of the term because upgrade offers are based on spend over the last year.

i.e. based on line rental+cost of phone, Flext20 is £15x18+£160 = £430 vs. Flext35 is £30x18 = £540

(web'n'walk is extra on both)

same applies to the Flexts in between - though with 35 you get free weekends too...

thanks sid.

I'm unlikely to go over the 170mins. What's T mobile coverage like?

T-mobile coverage is not as good as o2 or vodafone. Depends where you live. Personally i'd go with o2, i know alot of people who have had very bad customer service treatment from t-mobile.

I got a N95 when they first came out on o2, been with o2 for years, customer service is standard. I paid £100 upfront for the phone and im on a £40 monthly tarriff giving me 3000mins and 100texts. But i always end up paying £60-130 a month. I cant wait till my contract is up, i cant afford it at all anymore.

Take a look at o2...

Being in London, generally no probs with T-mobile; see what it's like for where you go with their streetcheck service

3000 mins and you still pay extra a month? :eek:
