That is all fine, but for light users (I only use my mobile once or twice a week) it is expensive. I only want voice or SMS, and wouldn't dream of buying a phone that's locked to a network. Shop around and you can find a decent basic phone for less than £50. And all those Bundles!. Talk about trying to get you to buy what you don't need. When I add up what I actually use none of these offers ends up cheaper. In fact I could save myself 2/3 of my current costs by moving to Tesco Mobile Lite, which I will be doing as soon as my credit runs out.
