I am currently on Flext 35 (£180 credit) for £35 a month but I only pay £17.50 a month due to the advantage plan discount. I think I will have to pay a good wack towards the phone, although I might ease the blow by going for a 2 year contract like you did.”
My old tariff was 'old' flext and I had £250/month allowance. No data. My partner's phone had £200/month allowance, again no data and also on 'old' flext. I secured the above deals from these old plans. My partner's phone didn't have off-peak calling before but they added it for the new deal.
I think you'll have swallow hard, lose the current deal and thrash out a new one. I think what you'll be offered is the standard deal of 1200 mins, unlim texts and web for £45/ month over two years, or poss unlim text and web with 900 or 600 mins for £40/£35 respectively. These were mentioned to me but only on two year contracts. In both cases the phone was free of charge.
By the way, I rarely go over my mins but did used to have to call 0845 etc sometimes, which cost me. Now of course they come out of my allowances!
I dithered on the iPhone for a while but I'm glad I went for it. It's an amazing piece of kit. Right now I'm on a campsite in the middle of nowhere and I sat and watched England take a hiding this afternoon!
