I just ordered and received the other day a new Nokia E71 on a T-Mobile contract for £36 per month I get:

800 mins
Unlimited Texts
Unlimited Internet web n' walk

on an 18 month contract. I am less than 7 days into it and am wondering whether or not I should keep it or not. I hate commitment i've never been able to stick one I was going to go for one of the 12 month plans but it would have meant me having a worse deal

I have used the phone and think its really great the internets really fast have never lost signal once on it so the networks really good for coverage unlike my previous networks.

I just keep thinking though what if I sent it back bought the phone and somehow paid it up or something and got the T-Mobile Sim only 600mins and unlimited texts for £20 per month and add on £7.50 for internet. Is it worth my while?

I'm so undecisive I definately know that I do want the phone though. Can anyone help?

You've bought something new, you've signed up, you've had a week with it and finished playing with all the pretty shiny buttons and now you're in Stage 2, or the "oh shit, this is going to cost me the best part of £40 a month for more than a year" stage. To misquote that bloke who gave his car away for a burger on The Simpsons, "you have-a the buyer's remorse!"

You're in good company--the only other person I know with that phone is a multi-millionaire.

I think what belleville is saying is, this is a mobile phone forum, we can help with phone related problems. But we can't help with your indecision, that's a psychological issue. You are the only one who can know whether the deal you signed up for is suitable for you.

I can get the same phone on Vodafone for £35 per month only thing is though that you ger 600 mins, unlimited texts and unlimited internet and the voicemail comes out of your allowance not charged at 12p/min.

Would you recommend Vodafone or T-Mobile?

we all get the remorse, thinking god this is going to cost me £600, but if you look at it as you need a phone and the bare minimum you could possibly spend is whatever that is over 18 months, all you've really done is commit to the extra.

Yeah I see what you mean if I was on Sim Only i'd have 600mins unlimited texts and unlimited internet for £27.50 per month anyway so its only really only an extra £8.50 per month for 18 months which is £153 extra so thats for an extra 200 mins and the free phone thats worth £282 on its own
