I am upgrading this weekend but still not sure what handset to go for.
I currently pay £15 per month for 600 texts and 75mins.
My maximum budget is £20 a month + a free handset, which I know could get me the Nokia 6600 Slide but that's just with 300 mix and match texts/mins.
Another option is the INQ1 - you get 75mins, unlimited texts and unlimited internet for £15, but the phone just looks a little cheap. Anyone got one who would recommend it?
Really not sure what to go for. I have called them 4 times and even threatened to cancel but they won't budge.
I want to avoid Sony Ericssons as their signal is terrible in my area.
Any ideas?

........and you know this because .........
If the signal is bad , blame the 3 network and maybe dump Three
As I have said on the other threads , let the contract end , request your pac and get offered a decent deal .
In the meantime buy a cheap PAYG phone that matches your sim
My wife has had 2 ericssons, both terrible at holding signal in the house, whilst my nokia holds it fine.
I have heard about what they offer when you actually cancel, great £10 deals but crap handsets!
3 are good with price. I'm not one of these people that spends £35 a month on a phone.
Neither am I , I pay £10 pm for 02 simplicity 200 mins , 400 texts on my own phone , 30 days contract
I think everying that Three offer someone else offers a similar or better tariff these days .
Good reception can be geographical and therefore certain networks preform better than others
02 is pants on the east coast around YO25 are , but Three and Vodafone are great
When the wifes contract was up on 02 she looked at Three and Vodafone , Vodafone offered the best phone package a SE C905 , 600 mins , unlimted texts , unlimited internet for an avaerage of £26.66 per month after discounts whilst the same phone on Three was £35 pm without free internet , whilst my son got a free SE W890i with 750 mins , unlimited texts for £25 pm
Its nothing personal I think the deal offered depends on who and when you speak to @ Three
Take the contract to the end in the 17th month request your pac and if need be look at the alternatives
looks a good deal , have you been in store and actually tried one out
My wife was dead set on an Blackberry Storm untill I went instore with her and it wasn't as good as she thought it would be
I look instore , get the prices , feel the handest then go home search the www for reviews and prices and usually buy online .
£9 sounds a decent deal too ( but its SE)

It's ok, 100 mins or texts though. It's good for skint folk.
Sorry didn't realise you were loaded
I'm not but that isn't what I'm after. Need more texts!
The LG 990 Viewty Refurbished looks good at £18 mix and match 500.
The INQ1 at £15 with unlimited texts and internet.
It's the internet and texts thats doing it for me with this but it's a '3' made handset.
or finally
Nokia 6600 mix and match 300 at £20
So which would you say is the best?
Surely what YOU think is best is what matters.
I agree, isn't this the fourth or fifth now?!
i would get one mate!
The final choice is really either the Sony W890i or the Nokia 6500 Slide, both are £48 on the £15 texter plan which I am sure I can talk them round to giving me the handset free.
Which phone would you advise?
It has but also a lot of people say it's software is a little buggy and that the handset crashes alot.
Oh, where did you read that?
Type in INQ reviews in google. Theres loads.
Sounds a bad idea to me .....Nokia 6500
Why?! Whats wrong with the 6500?!
I only want to pay £15 texter plan and £5 internet max so I am limited in my options mate. If you think of something better let me know.
Apart from it been the most buggy phone , its fantastic , you go for it.
I then look forward to your new threads asking for help on returning it .
