Anyone work for o2 or a fone shop?

[StevenMc29]

Looking a contract of 200-300minutes, 600+ texts, unlimited internet and a free fone (half decent)

Im on o2 simplicity at the minute with 600mins and unlimited texts but I want to upgrade from my c902 without paying for a handset

Anything out there atm or any good deals if I upgrade from simplicity?

How much you looking to spend a month? 18month contract with o2 is £35 with unlimited web, 600mins, 1000 texts with a few phone to choose from.

 

[StevenMc29]

meant to say looking to spend 20 or 25 or am i dreaming?

T-mobile do one for £27 with 300 texts, 300 mins and unlimited web. (18 months)

or one with 700mins, unlimited texts and web for £30.

The o2 simplicity is so good it actually works out cheaper most of the time. I think I pay £20/month for 600mins, 1200 texts and unlimited web, paid £440 for my 3GS up front.

It actually worked out like £25 cheaper overall than the cheapest 18 month contract and I get more than 2x the amount of texts and minutes, and I can quit at any time and sell my 3GS to upgrade to 4G when it comes out without having to pay off rest of contract.

So I would have a look how much the phone you want is on payg and work it out.

Vodafone 24-month deals will give you 300 min and unlim. text for £25.

Phones should be ok at that level, but the tariff wont include any data, so avoid smart-phones.

Otherwise, '3' tariffs are usually pretty competitive.

Phone wise, go sony, nokia or blackberry, safest bets that dont demand you pay vastly over the odds.

You can't get much better for your money on O2 than Simplicity. However, their contracts aren't the best. Unless you've been with them ages then you can't really negotiate free extras, lower prices, etc.

If you're not fussed about sticking with O2 then look at other networks.

Depending on what phone you want T-Mob also do £20 per month 300 mins unlimited texts and web 24mth contract
