I need a new mobile phone - which one

[V8landy]

Start new job in a few weeks and current job get a free phone, new job dont, but means no call outs!

 

So I need a new phone. Dont need the lastest thing to show off, just need it to make calls, txts but would like a nice camera, maybe mp3 player, oh and bluetooth, maybe wifi

 

Even with my current free phone, I dont do more than 4 txtx per week, and suspect I phone less than 10 mins per week.

 

I have found this, dose it look OK for £3.33 per month (after cash bacK) I have done cash back in the past and it worked Ok.

I wouldn't bother with a contract if I were you pay as u go !

[shot shot]

as above. I also wouldn't go for a cheapo touch screen phone, they're horrible to use. If you want a touch screen, splash out the cash otherwise you get monkeys. Go for a good old fashioned one with buttons

But that phone alone even at Tescos is £80 That = £4.44 over 18 months, and that is without the cost of txts and phone calls.

 

The above gives me free txts and 100 mins per month

 

My current phone is a Nokia 6300

 

This one has the buttons you talk of, like my 6300 and is about £5 per month with 3000 txts per month (dont think will do that in my life) and 100 mins per month

..and I thought my phone bills were expensive...!

 

Since my first phone, I don't think I've had a monthly bill under £50. That's a good month.

What the h*ll do you do to Spend £50+ per month on a phone?

 

Thats £600 per year, or another way to look at it, just booked 1 weeks all inclusive to Sharm for easter 2011 for only £100 more

 

 

 

I think before I start to buy another phone I will speak to my new Boss/Company and see if I might be getting a phone ot if I can squeeze one out of them.

Well you send 4 texts a week and talk for less than 100 minutes a month on your phone....

 

...That's a day's usage for me. (plus a few more texts)

Go for the Nokia 6303 or the Nokia 6600

HTC Desire

 

BEST PHONE EVER!

 

/end thread!

 

:yes:

Local sale adds in paper -- get good used phone for peanuts - just stick a new sim in it.

Samsung Tocco Lite is a good phone. My daughter has one. Well made . Rather snazzy,made for the teen market possibly but still good. Carfone Whorehouse were doing them for £49 or the LG Cookie. Camera only so so though.

 

I have gone back to my LG Viewty ku990i. Plain and simple with a 5mp camera plus flash. Best mobile I have had.The HTC range are supposed to be good with Android software. I like touch screen despite being a fogey.

I was reluctant to get an iphone but, I have to admit it is the best phone I've ever had.

That dialaphone deal is ok as long as you remember to claim back the refunds for the line rental. You'll pay £20 a month, and then at 6, 12 and 18 months have to submit a form to claim back the line rental charges. Which you'll probably forget to do (i did with mine) and end up paying the full amount.

 

I'd buy a PAYG phone!

[ryantidgwell]

bloody hell wish i could spend £4 a month on my bill ! mine is always between 35 and 50 a month , damn 0845 numbers ! thank god for unlimited texts ! if i was on a standard pay as you go tarriff my bill from texts alone would be over £200 a month

[hiho]

dont get contract unless you get a good deal my last one was £30 a month but when i went over it was easily £75+

xperia x10 = dogs danglies as far as I am concerned - android OS and shedloads of free apps to d/load, its the first phone I've had which is a proper pocket pc rather than a phone trying to do other things! BTW I use it as a pc rather than a phone, hardly any calls and only a few texts but love it anyway
