    Aye but half price line rental doesnt make up for the tarrifs not being good mate - thats the problem.

    T-Mobile tarrifs are crap - especially for txt'in - works outv expensive :down:

    If you send loads of txt's u wanna go with either O2 or Orange - both give u 500/month free for starters.....

    i went with three for a while a few months ago to try it out - cos their deals were amazing.

    i was getting 700 txts and 70mins anytime any network for £30 or £35 a month.

    sounded too good to be true - and it was I thought - their network seemed v poor :down:

    kept getting dropped calls, most of the time txt's wud take ages to send and arrive to me...wasnt impressed at all.

    maybe its better now tho!

    £20 a month does me my new phone, 500 texts and 300 off peak minutes to any network on o2. Can't complain there, for using my fone on peak time i've only managed to knock up £2 extra a month.

    its the same with everywhere though init at the minute...ring a helpline and u get india...wouldnt be a problem if they knew what they were talkin bout but half the time its like speakin to a robot reading from a script...

    "your fone does not support multi media messages"

    thats all i got over and over again...when its blatently obvious it does! idiots....

    ...aside from that though its fine! :)

    Ive got a white Sony T630. Got it on contract with 02. Took the sim out and replaced it with my Oranga PAYG which gives me 5 texts a day free. Have had £50 cashback off phone already and will be getting another £50 next month. Spend about £15 a month on it.

    Will sell the phone for £150 when contract finishes.
