Just off the phone with O2 trying to sort out a new contract !

after getting put through to the stupid people that try and keep you with o2, we had a discussion about a contract i seen with 3, the contract i seen was........

Contract length 18 months
Inclusive UK voice minutes 300 / 600 mins* (first 6 months*)
Inclusive UK text messages 1000 / 2000 txt msgs* (first 6 months*)
Inclusive UK video minutes 50 mins
Inclusive UK photo or video messages 50 messages

£15 for first 6 months / £30 for 12 months (averge £25 a month)

********WITH A FREE NOKIA N73***********



O2 offered me a good deal

500 any network mins

500 texts a month

£17.50 per month 12 month contract

but i told the girl i wanted the nokia N73 she was going to charge me an extra £100 for the phone.

is there any way round getting the same price plan with the nokia N73 ?

CAN I INCREASE MY PRICE PLAN TO £20 PM SAY AND GET THE PHONE FREE ?

All comments welcomed.

You could always run the Three contract through quidco.com and get £100 cashback

um, unless my math is wrong, assuming 02's minutes/texts is enough for you, then there is little difference costwise.......the first 12 months on 3 will end up costing you approx £270, the 12 months on 02 will cost £210 plus £100 for the phone.....so thats £40 difference at most......except with 3 you are bound to pay another 6 months by contract at £30 which means another £180...whereas on 02 the next 6 months will only cost you £100....so therefore the 3 contract over 18 months means you pay £40 MORE than 02.....however you do get a lot more texts...but do you usually send more than 500 texts a month? (i struggle to send my 50 freebie allocation...lol)

so if you have no problem with 02's service so far, i'd say stick with 02, perhaps work on the 12 month costing i show and phone back and say can they at least meet you halfway and knock another £20 off the handset?....if not, well, its up to you...personally i'd rather be tied in to just 12 months contract knowing if i take it on 6 months longer i've saved money by staying with 02.....

however i'm on T-Mobile which is completely different....lol....i refuse to pay more than £15 a month as i just dont use more than that....heh...and i've always been happy with their service.....
