Is this a decent deal

scottyg · 20-10-2007, 14:45

Ive just signed with vodafone on the following deal I think im pleased

£75 for a Sony Erricsson K850
First 3 months Line Rental £12.50 £25 thereafter
225 mins and 100 texts free monthly.
18 month contract

The phone would be free on the £30 tarriff 500 mins but over the 18 months im told that this way is cheaper as i rarely go over 100 mins a month.

Currently have Orange £20 month 100 mins 150 texts which is pretty poor, and they wont upgrade me until the end of november point blank- now im about to tell them to shove it

Hi Hippy 11

Ive worked (with a calculator

) out that say the deal you quoted was an 18 month it would be 540 over the 18 months.

Im taking into account that I would naturally renew my contract for around the 30 fee anyway, the other deal including the price of the phone with 25 more mins a month over 18 months would be 412.50. I tried to get the phone free but you cant have everything!!

To be honest I dont send anywhere near 500 texts a month,I prefer the mins, so I doubt id have gone for that and the downside is that ive got the same phone for 18 months.

Hope ive got the figures right

Appreciate the reply

Cheers

Scott

The deal I am looking at is for 12 month only , so it would be £360 with a free phone

I just prefer 12 months then get a new contract and new phone and i would never buy a phone on a contract
