Question Mobile Phones (Monthly) Best Deals ????

I was looking to spend £20 a month (12 opr 18 Months) tops... Anyone seen Great Offers?? I want More Voice Calls X-Net

I dont like the 6 Months Half Price (via Voucher) if possible... I rather pay 1/2 Price & no Voucher to redeem...

Best Offer I have seen is: T-Mobile - FleXt 20 (£20 = 170 Min)..... But I saw 1 High Street store with this & a FREE D800 Mobile (they sell for £280 on eBay)

Any other offers or good Deals anyone spotted???

Phones4u offering the free D800 per chance? A couple of weeks ago they were the only high street retailer selling the D800.

Are you after a new phone as well, or would the phone you get just be to sell?

Do you text as well or just calls? Anytime or off peak calls?

Do you call 08** numbers?

I have a D500.. Sim Free... But if I had the option of a Free Phone I would NOT say No

Peak Time Mostly & X-Net are a Must (my friends are on all different Networks)...

No 08** 09** numbers. Just normal Mobiles, House Phones

Re: Mobile Phones (Monthly) Best Deals ????

On Carphone Warehouse site, looks like D800 is Best Deal... But does the D800 allow you to edit SMS Ringtone to any MP3? or the Slide Open & Close Ringtone?

My D500 wont. It is a real Let Down

I tried looking at Samsung site & no info

Bought my last two direct from Vodafone.

Re: Mobile Phones (Monthly) Best Deals ????

If you don't need texts, then i wouldn't bother with FleXt- isn't much gain unless you mix and match both.

My advice would be to buy from phones4u rather than CPW if you are going high street shopping, the guys there are on higher commission to get deals, so they are much more willing to give you extra bonuses if you haggle

If customer service is of no concern to you, then you might want to consider three- http://www.three.co.uk/priceplans/paymonplans.omp

My advice would be quite the opposite.

P4U are (IMO) the worst bunch of dodgy geezaz around.

Comission based payments is not what you as a customer want. CPW on the other hand pay their staff equal payments regardless of what network you go with.

That way you are more likely to get what is best for you, rather than what pays the salesperson the best commission that day/week/month.

3 are the mobile equivalent of ntl.

If it works-you are good to go, but if it doesn't & you have to ring them......

That's maybe because you don't play with them as well as i do

I go in there knowing exactly which network i want, which tarriff, which phone, and what deals i can get elsewhere. Then play hard ball until they give in (which they will because they want to get their deal) and save yourself lots of money

My last phone was free, plus i got a bluetooth headset, plus they gave me cash for the first 3 months line rental

CPW aren't really flexible on the deals- they get the offers from the networks, and just sell them as they are.

No haggling = no fun if you ask me!!

You could see what phones Virgin offer on their new £20 tariff that gives you 100 minutes and 200 texts:

dodger exactly as what I'm doing there...also got another 3-4 months left on my contract and am going to be happy and exchange my reliable k750 for that beast excellent timing as well as my contract runs out when that phone comes in...and last time I upgraded through CW I got a nokia bt headset and quite a few other nice deals


imho I would go for CW instead of p4u tried them before and they couldnt give me a contract whilst cw did.


ps jedi, quite a few of my colleagues have had issues with the D500 and D600 of Samsung and all got SE's now and havent even looked back at the samsungs
