I took advantage of the Carphone Warehouse brain-dead deal last year
(Nokia 3310 and one year line rental on T-Mobile 750 for £9.99). I've
been using it as a substitute for my BT landline at evenings and
weekends (also changed my BT line to the 'Standard Line' package).
Pretty good deal all round.........but what now?

I could go for the Forward Cellular deal (http://www.fwdcellular.com/)
for another T-Mobile Sim at £9.99 (no free phone this time though :-(
)

Alternatively, if I ring T-Mobile and ask for an 'upgrade or else'
(the 'else' being to tell them to change the Sim card to PAYG) am I
likely to be told where to stuff it? Or get a cheap valueless brick?
I rarely pay no more than a few pence over the minimum line rental per
month.

Anyone else know a better way of getting all weekend and evening calls
for less that £9.99/year?

Steve Terry reminds me of a well-known line here in USA about cheap friends:
"Friends like you come a dime a dozen".

I have a feeling that T-Mobile a) hated the contract and probably you in the
first place (don't take it persoanally i'm included as well) and b) would
feel something along the lines of 'finally' and 'good ridance' if you
threaten to leave unless they give you a say 3410 for 9.99 and free 12
months rental.

The fwd cellular deal seems the best and what I will go for, you can get a
3510i for £59 or sim for 9.99 with them so its not bad in any way, we were
just very very lucky with the cpw deal (not to mention the fact they pay
their affiliates £10 comission so some people could get it free, well infact
make 1p on the deal).

i got the 3510i for 59.99 from Forward Cellular, paid 12 months up front and
received 12 months cashback. sold the handset for £80 on eBay and now have
750 mins & 50 texts a month plus i'm £20 up.

seems better than paying £9.99 for the sim only.

reception is cack in my house though but so is orange and o2 :(
