Until quite recently i've been on PAYG. I topped up £10.00 in March and i didn't use it all up until just before i went on holiday - 19th July. I'm currently on contract, not sure why because i don't really need the minutes.

[Ibrahim70]

I have a £ contract - £30 per month which is 750 free minutes chat time and 175 texts..............which sometimes isnt enough for me, especially the texts!! But Im tied to it so I cant change although I have taken the option of 50 additional texts for £5.

But I have always thought the best deals were with 3.

I aint a Sales Man for them or anything, Im just commenting innit :up:

[Enigma Dreamer]

You guys text a lot. I can't believe when was the last time I texted. BTW, there are websites that offer free sms on the web and I guess you can get more than 10 smses per day in total. I personally use those.

Umm...I thought the general rule with all contracts was that if you wanted to cancel early you had to pay for the rest of the months anyway?

[.: emerald :.]

:salams,

I'm on contract :)

Ur sis in Islam:

No it shouldn't cost you sis unless you cancel it before your contract finishes? coz that would mean the phone is still not urs as you owe them money for the time you contracted with them :nuts: does that make sense?? Cancel as soon as its time for an upgrade or your contract finishing date comes :up: :insha:

[Hiking]

Cancel as soon as its time for an upgrade or your contract finishing date comes :up: :insha:

Don't feel bad about it, they always make you a spankin' good deal, but a few months later all of the phone companies seem to offer better ones. You can't win :S Your better off going on pay as you go and reverse charging everyone else @) (not me :nono:)

30 pounds is nothing comparing to orange when they ripped me off. that was back in 2003 i had this contract. i bought nokia 3100 on a low tarrif and the bill would come to like 80 odd pounds. that gave me bad experience with contracts but this t mobile is good. when they say its 30 pounds. it actually is 30 pounds they dont charge a penny over.
