Im lookig to get a contract phone but dont want to pay more than £15 a month cause im pretty broke at the moment.
Im thinking of going with three is this a good idea? Deal is something like 500 mins any network anytime, plus a phone.
Are there any other deals i could get which will be as good?
I also want a decent phone and threes are crap unless you pay extra is there a way i cud persuade them to give me a w850i or k800i?

I don't think anyone else does contracts at this low rate, do they?
Posted by Stinger151
well i will pay a bit more,

Don't think there are any really decent £15 deals out three-the only One's worth considering start at £20....ie. t-mobile flext20 with free weekend calls but that's about it and even then that isn't anthin special unless you make a lot of weekend calls + k800 and w850 ain't free!

until about 6 months ago O2 used to do £19/12 month contracts online but they have upped their minimum to £20/12 month. granted its not much more but its a pyschological difference as £19 always seemed like a bargain

look at "Three's" £15 per month tariff which offers 75 anytime/any network mins, 600 free texts and if you add a bolt on £2.50 you get 10MB Browse.
Im thinking of going with this myself as 02 have really gone crap considering when it comes to GPRS

the last contract I had for my son was 1000/month and he still sent more than 1500/month
I've now just got him unlimited texts on an Orange contract for when he comes back to UK soon (I don't think anyone else does that) but I'm still not sure its going to be enough!

would of been good if it was 1000 mins of calls any network anytime,
ive got that on 02 kinda, didn't use to make loadsa calls neither but this month ive been on the phone approx 8 hours
500 texts would do me fine but "3" offer 600 of the things for £15
btw anyone know if "3" have caps on there browse allowance?
can you look at any website or is it restricted?
Posted by garlic_bread
i dont know about that but i did get offered unlimited internet for £5 a month a may take this up.

£15 per month for life

I had a life gym membership once, and a life video rental membership too
neither of those places exist any more...
it seems I outlive all these "promotions"
Posted by Miss UK
Masseur I once had a Unlimited Text and wap tariff with 02 for £20 per month also had 100 free calls
Three's plans are really good I can't wait till the end of the year to get one i'll be saving quite abit of cash aswell by the looks of it
I hope they offer that 7390 for free round about then too

unlimited texts on Orange big M are limited to 10,000 a month.... anything more is deemed as being used for commercial use (not allowed on a personal contract)
just thought i'd enlighten you!
Posted by masseur
yeah, thats why I said...
...but I'm still not sure its going to be enough!
my son has the fastest fingers in the west, well... currently in the southern hemisphere, but he doesn't go in for those weedy texting competitions!.
Several times I've caught him texting on two phones at the same time with both hands! (thats my boy!)
Posted by fatreg
I reckon I'd give him a run for his money..
i had nothing better to do with 6 years of my life while working at a phone shop than texting...
a 6310i is the easiest phone to text on by miles..

All I can say is your kid must know alot of people Masseur
Just relised this £15 per contract with 3 is only available till the end of this month "Bummer"

Fatreg, the old old Nokia's are easy to text on fullstop my favourite the 8210

Posted by fatreg

Posted by Miss UK

I wouldn't mind getting another 8210 but for some reason people have gone mad for them on eBay
Posted by fatreg

Yup there going for £20ish..
I only paid £10 for one yonks ago but some mental reason people are paying more now
the worst phone has to be a Motorola to text on I have a black V220
my mums got a silver one dunno how she manages to text on it

I'm always dubious of these for life deals! Had a deal with Skodaphone many years ago and there idea of for life was until imy contract ended and I had to choose to stay with either the fucount and no phone or phone with no discount-gits! Did me a favour in the end as now with T-Mobile and couldn't be happier! :o)

If three discontinue the tariff when your on it do they make you move onto another?
02 have let me stay on my previous tariff for 5yrs till I changed it at Xmas cos I wanted GPRS & MMS so I moved onto there Online leisure 25
and they have just recentley changed that aswell
btw Hope this 3 tariff stays around till Xmas I have actually emailed them with aload of questions so lets see if they reply back
