From the link

Quote:
“The most users will pay on the new tariffs is £32 a month, which includes 1100 minutes, 300 3 to 3 minutes, 150 3 to 3 video minutes and a Nokia N95.
”

I make it £27 + £15 = £42 not £32 ???

And it differs from the three customers who are on a similar tariff already

Yes well done.... There's a lesson for us all there. Especially if you had anything to do with N-trance, KLF or run a mobile phone shop.

Maybe it's just a bit early in the morning but I reckon flext will still win because it's FAR more straightforward and easier to understand??

Why is it hard to understand , just like TM you pay a monthly fee and in return get a set amount of x network , 3 to 3 calls and texts included , but more of them


You decide your budget , your calling requirements and the phone you want , just like TM

How do you work out you get more of them? The article says 1 text converts to 1 minute. With flext you get two texts for the cost of a 1 minute call.

Based upon my sums ........A pound cheaper and more mins / texts

T-Mobile £25 flext tariff - 300 x network minutes or 600 texts

Three £21 + £3 video pack = £24 gets you 700 x network minutes or 700 texts ( 1 text = 1 min ) +300 3 to 3 minutes + 30 video texts .

I apologize if I am misreading things ?

Orange's Dolphin 35 or Panther 45 are a much better deal i think.

Unlimited Texts, so do not think about them, then either

500 Mins for £35
or 900 mins for £45.

Unlimited texts on Orange , but lots more minutes on three for similar money

I guess its hard to directly compare , its down to personal requirements
I get 600 mins and 500 texts on my 02 contract

I hate text and may use about 10 per month , but I use most of my minutes , so lots of free minutes appeal to me and free text isn't attractive

I just can't be R'sed to input the text , its quicker and easier to ring someone
