Best Mobile Deal at the Minute??

[merlecollins]

I've a feeling Mark(United) may help on this one

Like Neale I'm due an upgrade soon as I'm coming to the end of my 18month contract with T-Mobile

Anybody getting a particularly good deal at the moment? I've been a bit narked that I get charged for anything over 5 picture texts and all 0800, 0845, etc numbers. I also get charged everytime I phone my voicemail number

So I'm on the look out for a good deal

Most networks charge for 0845 and 0800 numbers. I normally try not to call those numbers from my mobile and if I have to I try to search for a free number using www.saynoto0870.com/

Do you have your last few bills handy? PDF versions you can email?

The best thing to do is have a look at your last 3 - 6 bills and take an average for everything

Text
Minutes
Data
MMS
0845 call costs

Once you have an average you then know what the minimum you need from your next tariff / plan

Some people are value driven and just want the cheapest deal others are handset driven and want the best of the best no matter how much it costs.

Be careful of long contracts like 24 month as you really don't want to commit for that long. Only go 18 Month at the Max.

I would give T mobile a call first and tell them you want to leave (make sure you say you want a PAC code) then let them try to keep you with some deals. You should get what you want out of them as they are desperate to keep customers.

Give me a shout if you don't get what you want out of them and I will check with a few mates as to what deals are going on.

Hope this all makes sense

Will I still have bargaining power if I want to reduce my contract to 12months rather than 18?

I NEVER go anywhere near the 700 minutes I'm allowed, its all the blo*dy add ons they stick up me.....

 

[david campbell]

i'm still on the same deal with 3

750 anytime mins
unlimited call to 3
unlimited texts

I got rid of the add ons, so about £20 a month contract

 

[hillhead]

It's worth a try, but 18 Months isnt too bad just don't go above that.

If anyone is with 3 you can upgrade at 15 months

I don't think so, I done a 2 year contract to get mine down
