Hi, well it seems that my trusty Motorola V3i has died So I'm looking for a new phone. I've been considering a contract one this time, as I'm forever topping up my current PAYG one.

I'm just wondering if any of you know any good deals on contract phones out there? I text quite a lot (About 500 free texts is minimum really), but make outgoing calls very rarely, so I don't really care how many free minutes I get. I was looking at the Nokia N95 on Phones4U, but it seems a bit expensive and it has loads of features I'll never use.

The ideal price range per month is £20-£30 (Also, is there any hidden charges I need to worry about?)

I don't care about the quality of the camera either, about 1-2mp is good I have a 7mp digital camera, so the phone's camera won't be used much, just maybe the odd snap to send in a text.

Thanks

Wow that looks pretty awesome, the £15 one is mighty tempting...Is there any hidden charges for that? Or will I just have to pay £15 a month? Thanks, sorry very new to contract phones. Also, is that 600 texts per month, or 600 texts for the lifetime of the contract?

No hidden charges, good deal for your sort of usage.

Thanks guys, I've decided to go for the Nokia 6120 Classic, looks like a pretty good deal at £15 a month. Just a few questions though...

It states I can use Windows Live Messenger...Does it cost at all to use it? i.e. bandwidth charges

Also seems like the 3 site won't let meuse my Solo card, however there is a 3 store where I live, would I be able to get it from there? Thanks

If you have Virgin Media (BB, TV, etc) you can currently get a good deal on phones and sim only deals

300min and 300 texts for £10 / mth (Sim only)
100min and 100 texts for £10 / mth (Free phone)

http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html...ustoffers.html

Seems quite a good deal.

That deal was cancelled a couple of months ago. Have they started it again? When you click through the 300 mins 300 texts link it becomes £10 100 mins 100 texts. Confused

Apparantly (according to VM) it's back for 1 month. I was told that the 300min / texts will also only run for 1 month and revert back to 100 mins / texts. Odd I know, but that's what I was told.

Nah, that's not right. Was a mistake. The 300/300 for £10 is for the life of the contract
