I have noticed that when any decent contract offers pop up people seem to jump at the chance and sign up to more than one contract.
How do you guys afford to do this i know you can get alot of cashback on certain tariffs but you have to wait 6 months usually to recieve any of the cashback or half price line rental.
Do some of you just get the phone and then buy the contract out? What is the most amount of contracts people have had at any one time and what is the most you have had to pay in any one month.
Just seems to me that people have contracts running all over the show.

4 for me:
2xOrange
1xT-Mobile
1xO2
I like my toys so look out for best contract deals on them, I'm on £22 an hour and work 50 hour weeks, so money aint really an option. |

Blimey i could not keep up having 4 phones at once let alone 4 numbers (i am guessing you do not use them all)
I do not have one at all at the moment i am waiting for the P990i and will move over then. I just get the feeling that people sign up to loads just to get the free phone but surely that would cost a fortune in line rental?

lol i dont have 4 numbers, I've had the same number for 2 years, i've snapped the sims on the others, i dont any any of the phones no more, I keep hold of them see if I like them if I dont then i flog them, in fact I've actually made money on the deals, getting them with free line rental for x amount of months (cashback scheme) and selling them while they are still in demand, by selling 3 phones and keeping 1 for myself I've made £95 more than what i've paid out over the year  |

I just have a good look around and make sure they work out good value by the end of contract term. I usually have a phone im replacing so I sell to cover the costs
My Dad
x2 T-Mobile
x3 O2
x1 3
He just loves having lots of mins..... They are all cashback.... Most of them are 100% FREE for the YEAR.
So not bad at all
Cheers

1 Orange for my phone and 1 Voda for my blackberry. I can only afford it because I can put the Voda bills down as business expenses so I get (some of!) it back in the form of money off my tax bill.

you can play the networks against each other if you have a hard copy of what they offer you, so you get a better deal year on year |
