Best contract for £35

[Merlin4458]

Im looking to get a new contract in 6 weeks time.

T-mobile give my flat mate really bad reception here, so that rules them out.
Every other network seems fine here

I would like a new phone with it too obv.
My gf is also going to get the same one.
I heard something about a magic number or something? What does that do, and who does it

Any help would be awesome

Cheers all

Vodafone would get my business, they've been brilliant with my contract

[Merlin4458]

ive noticed that vodaphone basically offer the same deals now to orange and t-mobile. And their signal is the best right?

[arbitor]

yeh voda and o2 signal is best, although some of the orange deals are good.

what i would do is go on voda webby and do the create your own contract its real easy and great value

Why not check out 3. They are doing £15 per month for life.

30£, dolphin 30, with magic number, so can talk to gf unlimated
the n73 a good phone right/

Three Direct Texter, at the moment you can get a credit (after 60 days) of £50, plus go through quidco and get £100 off.

Direct Texter 1400 normally costs £35 but with some phones you can get some months half price.

Includes 1000 texts
300 anyone anytime minutes
50 MMS
50 Video Minutes (to anyone with a video compatible phone)
£5 of downloads to spend on games and media

I am tempted to go for this one as you don't have to send chequeback requests and the price is all automatic and you won't be able to beat it anywhere.

john i got an n73 its real nice just make sure you do a software update when you get it

[Merlin4458]

hate three, hate cashback redeeming things. three wanted to take me to court after i canceled contract because the supplied me with 3 faulty phones. Orange looks be best bet as long as singal is better than the t-mobile and virgin singal i get here

[muddyfox470]

I have just plumped for a three contract 18 month, direct texter 1400 as described above.

18 months £17.50, plus £100 via quidco, and three will give you £50 for signing up before april (offer may last longer) - this will be added to your bill after 60 days, then you can also get a further £30 by putting in a friends mobile number.

not bad for under £10 a month

im selling my phone as im keeping my old one

I was about to leave orange (genuinely) before they offered me dolphin 35 for 25 quid (500 xnet mins plus unlimited txt) plus £5 orange care... and a S/E W850i for £20. Lucky me.

If its on the 3 or O2 networks I've heard they modify the firmware which causes problems, mine is with T-Mobile and had the most up to date vanilla Nokia firmware installed onto it .

[arbitor]

well bascically all i knwo is, before i updated the firmware the phone was like a pc with not enough ram, but after it was great and i love it, you forget its there battery lasts a week or so and it takes great pictures.

And is built very well as its nokia, SE phones are built like crap

[Merlin4458]

im looking at the orange dolphin 35 using the magic number on the gf. Phone wise im thinking w880 or n73. Does quidco work with orange too? Is there anyway of finding out what the orange network is in my local area, cause virgin isnt good, but only in my flat :s

Agreed, I have great pleasure telling my g/f that and she has no idea what I mean, but ah well.
