Looking for SIM only offer

Hi,

I am looking for a SIM-only offer on either O2 or T-mobile (my boyfriend is on t-mobile right now) and I want only a 12-month contract and with free peak minutes. And I am looking for free-line rental ones.

Has anyone seen any deals lately? My contract is due to finish soon and I am fed up of Vodafone, so want to move to O2 (as they seem to be doing good deals) or T-mobile.

Am I asking for too much?

I am thinking of keeping my existing phone or buy one from O2 student page for £30. Or is this not a good idea?

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Please help. Thanks in advance.
The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket. :rolleyes:

    o2 and vodafone both do 30 day sim only contracts, with double minutes and about a thousand text messages a month thrown in, both for the life of the contract. They are listed on the relevant mobile phone operators' websites. Never seem similar from orange, t-mobile or 3
  • T-mobile do a 30 rolling sim-only contract which is £7.50 per month. For this you get 50 anytime X-net minutes. After these it's 10p/per/min to call local/national/t-mobile no's and 30p/per/min to call other networks. It's an online based priceplan and as such calls to 150 from your h/set are 50p/per/min up to max. £5 per call, and voicemail retrieval is charged at 10p/per/min (once inclusive minutes are used up)

    This is fantastic. I really like this phone. Pretty basic, but quite good. I got my father one of these when the O2 £9.99 deal was going on and wished I got myself one too. Will look into this...

    With regards to Boots, I checked their site and looks like its still there. But isnt money in your pocket better than boots points? Or am i missing something? I am not an expert "Boots" shopper :(

    boots value work out better on some of the contracts ( - edit insert the thread link http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=90054 ) , and its only 1 claim rather than 4, plus feel boots are potentially a more trusted outlet ?? ( on second thoughts - I remember them mucking up my xmas hamper orders big time last year )

    remember cashback rely on you meeting claim conditions, and deal paying up
