24 month phone contracts

[mrapoc]

Are they "ok"?

I mean, i can see my phone being pretty battered by then even tho i am pretty careful

Was looking here and the decent deals all seem to want to tie you down to a 24 monther

Might just go for a straight forward £30 a month for 18 months

edit:

mind you, 18 month one here, 600 mins Any

Network Anytime + Unlimited Texts

8 months 1/2 price £35 for 10 months..

works out at £490 for the 18 months which is one of the cheapest iv found

I would rather do the £30 a month for 18 months thing.

Im on the 02 30day contract thingy and just buy my phone, much better for me tbh.

I'm on a 24month now, and it's a bit long really. I'd probably keep my phone for the 24months anyway (still got another 7months), but being tied down without the option to upgrade is a bit annoying really.

Though I'm not sure what I'd want to upgrade to right now tbh.

thanks guys

think ill do this option which is £35 a month..i get 8 months for £17.50 (equivalent once claimed)

free insurance too...altho i hope i wont need to use it

its a i8510 unless anyone else knows of a better camera/gps sat nav/phone replacement?

thats a good option the 8 months deal, since the technology in phones is rapidly improving, i bet by next week there will be a new phone with nice new features!!

older tech tho really, both on simbian s60 only the i8510 has the slightly up to date version and a better camera

I'm on an Orange 24 month contract - £20 a month for unlim text and 400 minutes (Dolphin 25) and it keeps running until this October. I've got a HTC Touch Diamond which I paid an extra £60 odd for, and I've had no regrets for going for 24 months over 18 month. It's only 6 months longer and I got an extra 200 minutes a month (basically saving £5)

Mr

exactly, remember you are kinda leasing/renting the phone from them for the contract length, so sometimes it works out cheaper to buy an unlocked handset and go with a 30 day sim offer. Really depends if ur after a flash mobile or want the best possible deal.

Got my n95-8gb a year ago on an 18month from 3. Phone then sim free was nearly £500! my total contract is approx £430 so i kinda made money from this deal!

Calculators are your friend!
