Out of interest, how much do people usually spend in a month on their phones? Either on Pay As You Go or Pay Monthly?

For £20 a month I get 100 mins and 550 texts through Retentions at Orange. I had to haggle quite a bit, but eventually got something suitable. Its just about right for my needs, with a few mins and texts spare each month. Monthly contract

Do you check regularly how many minutes and texts you have left then?

My Orange bill is usually less than £2.
My T-Mobile bill is usually about £32.

I tend not to check that regularly - only if i know i've been on the phone more than usual which is very rare

i spend £10 per month on o2 pay and go. i get 50 mins for topping up £10 and at the moment seem to get 20 texts as a treat. from the £10 is deducted £7.50 for my data bolt on.

don't seem to spend much of the remaining £2.50 or £3.50 (since they seem to give me an extra £1 when i top up).

I spend about £1 on my Orange phone every month, my bill with O2 is £40 per month, T-Mobile £15 and Vodafone £25. Not forgetting the PAYG but I only top them up as and when, just got a Blyk one which I will be trying to use shortly. I am about to embark on a contract with 3 when I can find one for what I need but it has to be the £20 mark.

Well I get £34 a month from T-mobile, but I'm struggling to spend it - so I guess its about £15. And that's me sending random texts!
When I was on PAYG it used to be about a £5.

£20 a month with O2. 200 mins and 400 texts. That took quite a bit of haggling with retentions though.

a total of about 80 pounds per month inc the line rentals...I cover all of my families mobile bills....

mine 2 x tmobile lines (one flext 35 tarrif - £26.25 p/m + one off peak 3000 taffi - £12p/month)

little bro - one tmobile off peak 750 + 100 texts line - £10.00 p/month

mum - 3 line - 300 mins + 1000 texts - £15 p/month

Ive been quite pleased with the tmobile stuff as i managed to negotiate mum and my lines down each year plus get a lovely phone every 12 months...managed to not do this with my flext line this year, but did get 12month extention and a lovely viewty which i just sold for £275 and replaced with an iphone unlocked! so not bad!

I claim all but my Orange and O2 one back, as part of my role I have to use competitor products.

Not all are handsets too, I have some SIM Onlys.

even though i get unlimited everything for £25 my bills are still coming in at over £75 per month "5 contracts"

i pay for my mums contract, my contract, and i have 2 other contracts that i dont use i only get phones on them for free .

With the 0845 number calling and premium text messages every so often the bill adds up.

I used to spend £150 a month....

Cool, that's great, thanks for giving me an idea of what is available....

Now I'm wondering if any of you would be kind enough to do me just a little favour?
I'm a student and am trying to carry out some market research. I would really appreciate it if you could follow the link below and answer a few questions for me, it shouldn't take any more than a couple of minutes.
Thank you!

(p.s. I'm sorry if I've annoyed anyone by doing this, I'm just trying to be resourceful and get as much genuine research as possible.)

I find it quite annoying that you felt the need to ask for this in more than one thread.

My average bill was £100-£200 a month

Since getting an iPhone, about £40-£50 which i think is reasonable.
