Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / February 2008Recommend me a cheap pay monthly tariff with free phone?
Can you help me? I don't want a contract for more than 12 months and looking to pay under £15 per month. Thanks > Can you help me? > I don't want a contract for more than 12 months and looking to pay under > £15 per month. > Thanks 3 have some £12 and £15 pm tariffs, and the 3 network is now what it should have been IMHO 3 are the new Orange i.e. "Innovative" Now if 3 could only be persuaded to offer Line2, and at a reduced rate ;-) The Futures Bright the Futures 3 Steve Terry > > Can you help me? > > I don't want a contract for more than 12 months and looking to pay under [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > The Futures Bright the Futures 3 Just been looking at the Three site.... You'd probably know the answer to this. If you're out of range of a Three cell and roaming on Orange, do you still get data access?

Yes, but at much slower 2G rate of maybe 40kbs which is about 10 times slower, and maybe 50 times slower than a 3 cell with new 3.5G HSDPA added.

Hmmm, so you don't get to roam on the Orange 3G network, then? That doesn't sound a lot better than Web & Walk Plus to me.

T Mobile web and walk is a better deal for those who want big downloads 3's deal is cheaper for moderate data users i.e emails and web browsing Steve Terry > <snip> > > Just been looking at the Three site....

The 2G backup is still provided by O2 AFAIK. SignatureRegards Jon >> > Just been looking at the Three site.... >> > You'd probably know the answer to this.

At home I've got no 3G coverage and no o2 coverage so it used to be a real pain but since they swapped to roaming with Orange I have excellent 2G.

(except for a handful of exceptions which can't get Orange 2G) 3 have just done a deal with T Mobile to roam 3G on each others networks. So has Orange and Vodafone, leaving O2 out in the cold Steve Terry > Orange only provide the 3G backup coverage, not 2G. The 2G backup is > still provided by O2 AFAIK. Orange provide 2G access for Three customers who have no 3G coverage. The Orange 3G cells are barred for Three customers. As you're an Orange employee, have a look at http://tecman/ on the intranet and it'll tell you what you need to know (plus all the new plans for 2008) there....

If you press the "Planet 3" button (ie. Threes mobile homepage) you get a message saying "You are outside the video service area", and get reduced options. however if you point your phones browser to a normal www. website, it works... > Can you help me? > > I don't want a contract for more than 12 months and looking to pay under £15 > per month. Good luck. SignatureRegards Jon >Can you help me? > >I don't want a contract for more than 12 months and looking to pay under £15 >per month. "I want the moon on a stick" Having a rummage around the networks on www.mobileshop.com might be helpful. www.e2save.com or www.carphonewarehouse.com also list similar stuff. Have fun.

Don't know if they're still doing it, but if you already have another service from Virgin Media (landline, broadband or TV) you could add a mobile contract for a tenner a month. It's occasionally 300mins/300texts per month, but often drops back down to 100/100. Don't know the term, but I think it just goes with the timing of your existing VM service contract. Otherwise you could try looking at one of the pseudo-contracts on PAYG. This is where you topup more than XX pounds per month and get cheaper calls/inclusive texts/etc etc. You usually don't get any free mins, but your XX pounds can be used to pay for the calls/texts etc. This might work out better than a XX pound a month contract, especially if you call non-inclusive numbers (0845 etc). I haven't been paying attention to what all the networks offer, but I think Tesco Extra is one. Theo Surely, the only answer is one of the new O2 simplicity tarrffs...eg one month contract, £15, 200min/200 text. Nothing better out there > Surely, the only answer is one of the new O2 simplicity tarrffs...eg one > month contract, £15, 200min/200 text. Nothing better out there Of course there is, 3 will give a choice of phones like a 6120 with mix&match 300 mins/text, and 300 on net mins + free Skype, and free voicemail, for £15 a month Personally I would go for the Nokia 6120 as it is 3 Skype compatible, and has HSDPA data which I would use connected to my laptop Check out any 3 shop or a CPW, I would go for the 3 deal at a CPW as there's chance CPW might supply the phone as GSM stock and unlocked Steve Terry > Of course there is, 3 will give a choice of phones like a 6120 with > mix&match 300 mins/text, and 300 on net mins + free Skype, > and free voicemail, for £15 a month The OP specifically asks for 12 months duration, not 18 >> Of course there is, 3 will give a choice of phones like a 6120 with >> mix&match 300 mins/text, and 300 on net mins + free Skype, >> and free voicemail, for £15 a month > >The OP specifically asks for 12 months duration, not 18 And we all wish him luck.
