mobile phone..contract or pay as you go or sim free and who are you with

..loooking at a Nokia 5500 sport

I know it's a boring question but i haven't had a mobile phone for 7 years and dp has inherited some money and is going to buy me one (well both of us actually)

Right

Vodafone Pay as you Talk

If you spend £5 during the week on credit, from 7.30 Friday night until Midnight Sunday EVERY call and text is free. To any network

No catches, just spend a fiver get free weekends

As for the handset you can buy it yourself if you want and then ring Vodafone and get a free SIM card 08700776655

that sounds good, just have to think of people to ring at weekends

the cheapest i found the phone was as orange pay as you go on lx direct at 149.00 but unfortunately at the moment you can't unlock it, a sim free one the cheapest i found was 185.00

They are expensive handsets, so contract would be better

You could have

for £25 a month

150 mins to any network
100 texts
and 2 extras

extras could be- Stop the Clock
50% extra mins
more texts
half price line rental for 3 months
or 3G entertainment packs

Sounds confusing, but you can make the price plan fit you

And the handset will be free on this price plan

alternatively what would be a nice phone to have on that first pay as you go plan, thank you for your help lovely welshboris

How much do you want to spend?

it can be over 100.00..I was looking at pay as you go because dp wants to buy it and he doesn't have abank account to do a contract

More freedom with pay as you talk

sony ericsson v600i £72

bluetooth
video calling
mp3 player
good camera

good phone, we dont get many complaints about this one, easy to use

OOh Boris you sound as if you know your stuff! I am on Vodafone pay as you talk and currently have an old Samsung A800 (A80?) clamshell which I like because it is SMALL. What should I buy now to replace that? Don't need a camera or anything fancy.

Sharp GX27 £55 online price

Camera,video and bluetooth

Again, good reliable phone use to use

Do you get your free weekends? If not text "free weekends" to 2345

I shall have a look at the shops..next battle will be to persuade dp to get them online and not in the shops!

Better deals online

Best off going into the shop first of all though to get a feel of the handset

Youd be suprised how many people return phones because they dont like the buttons or screen!

Good choice kama

Any questions, just CAT me

i have a contract with 3 on a motorola razor, and t-mobile payg for all my friends on t-mobile contracts to call me on the lg chocolate phone which i took off dp- its sooo beautiful!!

the chocolate is nice, they do it in white aswell now
