how much is that a month? and are those 300 mins any network any time? would be pretty pointless if it wasnt because i dont know anyone on virgin lol

its just been this montth ive topped up so much, i think over a ton. but i changed my bolt on so next month (3rd) i will get 1000 texts. the old bolton only gave me 300 max. i probs wont bother with a contract phone and just top up 30 a month on and off as 1000 texts will do

I'm with T-mobile flex 35 and pay £37 a month which gives you £180 of credit to use every month. the £7 is for the web and walk though, as it's the N95 and web rocks on it.

Was about to say my missus is on flext ^^
She pays £30 a month for £180 of credit which i think is an excellent deal.
Im on Dolphin 35 with Orange which i cant grudge at, i dont really use it all though. Ive got about 1000+ minutes rolled over atm =/

i've just found out orange have changed the dolphin packages, the text are no longer unlimited if you take out the contract now. I think you get about 1800 free message before you have to start paying for them.
Not that im complaining as i get the unlimited text and i send about 3000+ a month

I had two contract phones a while back
Had the Orange 3000 texts for £25 a month
and Orange Dolphin, 500 mins and unlimited texts from carphone warehouse with 6 months half price line rental, normally £35.
Both are pretty good but the first one charges you for calls. Although the second ones minutes run over, so this month I've got 700+ mins :y:

The dolphin contract changes alot, when i signed up it had a promo on and i got 650 instead of 550 minutes. But it changes alot.
Not unlimited texts? You sure you looked at the 18 month contract not the 12?

im with vodafone, its £30 quid a month, im sure i get 750texts and so many mins. they all roll over too, sometimes the bill is a bit more as i use it when the company phone dosnt work abroad.
i mainly use texts too, mite have to start sending random texts to make up for all the built up ones i have, not used me phone for over a week now, getting withdrawl symptons lol

Yer its advertised as unlimited texts still although in the small print of the contract on the new dolphin deals it says you get an unlimited subject to the average amount of text sent by orange customers.
When i rang orange they said the new deal roughly allows you 4000 free texts but as most people dont text that much they would never find out its false advertising

anyone work in a call centre here?
one of my pals works for orange and the other for t mobile, they get cheap as fook upgrades for the latest phones and get some stupid contracts that cost next to nothing a month for a load of texts and mins.
perks of the job i supose.
lol i clocked up a £400 phone bill on my work phone once, it was brushed under the carpet and nothing was said, glad it wasnt my own phone, had some extorsonate bills when i have been working away :( thats one of the reasons i went to vodafone, orange didnt do any kind of discount for when using the phone abroad.
vodafone do, so its all good ;)
