Pop into o2 in Accy 7 ask for Wayne. He's a very good friend of mine, & won't rip you off.

:D

Re: Phone Contracts
 

The least expensive tend to be the online tariffs.

Re: Phone Contracts
 

I would make sure that wherever you expect to use teh phone(college, mates, work, pub) has reception. Theres nowt more expensive than a phone that doesn't work where you want it to. Baxenden is rubbish on a lot of networks but will give you full Orange signal anywhere and everywhere.

Re: Phone Contracts
 

all i can advise is that you under no circumstances join up to te 3 network

ecveryone i know in that network gets poor reception and constanly have phonecalls terminated due to bad signal strength

they have what seem very good offers regarding free mins and texts but they are no good to you if you cant use them

my brother has been with o2 for 5 years and no problems and i have been an o2 pay as you go custemer for teh same time and no problems

Re: Phone Contracts
 

Yeah Wayne at O2 will be able to sort you out. The only problem I have with O2 is that if you have a problem the people at the call centre are a bit useless. They dont seem to look at your account or make any notes.

I've been on Vodafone, Virgin and Orange in recent years and only Orange has given a pretty much 100% reception.

Re: Phone Contracts
 

:confused: Weird. I've been with 3 for years now. I've heard they had teething problems when they first started out but I've never had a problem with them. I've always had good reception and have never had a call disconected.

I pay £30 a month and get:

300 talk minutes any network
50 video talk minutes
1000 text messages
50 picture messages
£5 downloads

Re: Phone Contracts
 

Orange - £30 contract and you get free 8mg broadband internet, which saves you around £18/month, making your phone contract only £12/month - never had any real poor reception probs

Re: Phone Contracts
 

I've been on Orange for 10 years now. Never had an issue, good reception whenever I've needed it, As other have said, a £30 contract also gets you up to 8M broadband for nowt possibly offsetting your total comms bill.

Re: Phone Contracts
 

i can find u some good deals on the net as i'm alwasy browsing such sites etc

just depends what u want eg free mins/cheap calls/cheap txts/cheap line rental etc

Re: Phone Contracts
 

Whilst on the subject of mobiles anyone any idea on how to get out of a mobile contract? My son has one with t mobile and it seems so expensive, but he has another 9ish months to run.

Re: Phone Contracts
 

o2 online offer much better deals than their shop, as I found out the hard way!

Im on

£20 contract
200 minutes
400 texts
+ £10 back so I get 500texts really.

... Which means if I only use 400 texts my contract is £10 a month.

I had to whinje and whine for 2years to get this :p

Re: Phone Contracts
 

you cant unless you Pay the remainder of the contract sara, this is what i was told when i asked,roll on April. also he MUST give 1 months notice in writing,or he will be charged an extra month when it ends.:mad:

Re: Phone Contracts
 

agree 3 are CRAP,the sooner my contract ends the better.

Re: Phone Contracts
 

Re: Phone Contracts
 

There was an article on theregister today that Orange and Vodaphone are looking at sharing their 3G masts so it should improve reception for both customers.

Re: Phone Contracts
 

Thanks, thought so, but like a prat that he is at times, as soon as he turned 18 he got one on contract and wouldn't take any advice from anyone. They must have seen him coming.

Re: Phone Contracts
 

sara - as they say there's one born everyday

but just incase they do decide to take pity on him

phone them up say somethign like ur unable to pay

one of my friends works for cpw lemme ask him

Re: Phone Contracts
 

Thanks mani

Re: Phone Contracts
 

tmob will charge discretionary fee for cancelling early if they feel like it... then you say, in that case on my next bill can i pay my line rental for remaining months on it, they'll bill it.

so it seems like u mite aswell speak to tmob see what they saying

they can reduce the money etc but just depends on what u get when u speak to them

it mite end up costing u more than if u just carried on using it as normal

Re: Phone Contracts
 

Thanks mani, it might make him think next time he wants to put something on contract. But somehow i doubt it.

When I was living in the U.k. I had a contract with 02, Everthing was good.

Re: Phone Contracts
 

I took out a contract phone with 3 network last friday, no problems as yet. Got a brand new Sony Ericsson with case, plus a 1gb memory card as a goodwill gesture, 500 anytime minutes to landline and all mobiles for £15 a month. Great deal.

Free phones. Real Deal, a branch of Carphone Warehouse. My mum has just finished her 12 month contract and got all her cash back fine, same with my dad. I've recently signed up for one myself and my mum has started a new contract with them.

(If anyone does decide to get a phone from there please send us a PM first, can get £20 for a refferal :D )
