what's the best method for buying a mobile with contract?
I want to try to avoid the rip-off high street shops. I heard from one person who called Vodafone direct and managed to haggle on the phone to get a deal he wanted, with lots of free texts etc, and the phone was posted to him and it worked out much better than shop deals. Has anyone else done this?

Use orange or o2 and get free texts on a pay as you go. There is a bargain. |

Vodafone are not any better than o2 either take ages to get things sorted,so do o2 as they dont know what you mean half the time but they reply quickly lol |

Well I was with O2 for 2 years and then changed cos they p*ssed me off.
I dont use my phone much, rarely talk for more than 3 minutes so stop the clock sounds pointless for me. I'm not a huge mobile fan, what with all the radiation etc, so i try to keep usage down to essential calls. |
