    Contracts - how much are you paying?

    I switched my contract not so long ago to an all network anytime free call deal, where the monthly contract is £20....now I just got my latest bill through and I got all my months calls from free, and spent £1.40 on text messages (and only because one of those text messages cost a fortune).
    Now if you ask me that's a cracking deal....How about you guys & gals, what are you paying?

    O2 Online 100: £25 per month for 100 minutes, 500 texts (or 125 MMS) and 1MB of data. Saved £250 off the SIM free price of the phone I wanted.

    Contract is nearly up though, so I'll probably be moving soon. Orange would be my first choice if it wasn't for the horrible way they brand and customise their phones.

    ME : O2 Online 200 £30 per month. Howvever, only paying £20 per month and get 300 mins. Also got a free K750i and BT Headset.

    GF : O2 250 £30 per month. However, only paying £15 per month and got free BT headset and K750i as well.

    But we have upgraded and we also ways get a good deal. People who switch networkd often always end up paying more. It definatly pays to stick to a network sometimes as they will usully give you a cracking deal to stay with them.

    You should have phoned them. O2 Online did not have any K750i's in stock when i wanted one a few weeks ago. So i phoned them, did the deal over the phone with O2 Online then went and collected it from the O2 store.

    BTW, the insurance is a waste of time and money. Beter just covering in on your household insurance.

    £30/month for 500 anynet minutes and 100 texts (TBH though I never go near that). Best bit is the rebate after 6 and 12 months takes it down to £6.99/month. That's on 3 obviously- but I rarely have problems with the service beyond it being slow to connect sometimes and occasional random failures to send texts.

    When the contract is up in November I might try and see if I can get next year for free after rebates.

    Depends. Worked out cheaper to go with carphonewarehouse's insurance plan than upgrade my household insurance as its a fixed plan.

    Woulda been fine if id had a normal phone, but the S700i is (was) expensive.

    Also, if you bank with Barclays you can pay £4 for thier first editions account. You get free legal helpline ete etc, but you also get free mobile insurance.

    O2 Online - £25pm - 300 xnet offpeak mins, 500 texts.

    Usually pay a bit extra (<£2) each month because I make a few daytime calls.
