Is this a good deal ?

Last week I got a new Mobile phone deal, is it a good deal ? If not How can I better it ? I believe I have 14 days to change my mind..
I got a Xda 11s 375 mins and 100 txts for £35 per month.

    1. you don't mention a cost for the xda - was it free?
    2. are the minutes xnet and anytime?
    3. it's pretty subjective - will the free mins and texts cover your monthly usage?

    if the answers to all the questions above are yes then i reckon you did pretty well - that's about average for the tariff i reckon but it's an expensive handset which pushes the balance in your favour.

    one other thing - you don't mention if this was a new deal or an upgrade? if it's a new deal then again - balance tips in your favour - if it's an upgrade then it will depend on how long you've been with whoever it is and how heavy a user you are in order to put the deal into context.

    at the end of the day, are you happy with it?
