HEYA GUYS!

Its me Ginge asking your kind advice again

- Right! I am into uni now wahooo and I have a dilemna my phone is a pile of something not nice, it cuts out when talking to someone the phone scrambles so you cannot activate it at ALL... This is probably due to 1) I did drop down the loo a few times 2) it has dropped on the floor with minor damage a few times and 3) its a nokia..

I top it up atleast twice and im on pay as you go so bout 20 or 30 quid a month on this thing.. I get 300 free texts a month but calls are expensiv etc etc..

What i need help with is your advice on contracts.. I was browsing a catalogue for the car phone warehouse today and seeing i need a new phone a contract could get me a new one (and one a yr) free.. It would also *probably* be cheaper than me spending the usual a month

- Are any of you on contracts?

- Whats ya deal and is it good?

- KNow of anything i might benefit from?

- What should i run a mile from when the spotty same sized kid tries to flog me it behind a counter?

Bare in mind i moving away from home at uni and will wanna ring home and sam (my loverr of 2 1/2 yrs) regularly as i will obviously miss em


Cheers chums and as always

It is mostly drained on sam actually though recently its been getting better now i can drive it takes less time nipping round for a hug! but to nip round the quick two and a half hour journey for a hug whilst at uni is not so convenient....

hence the HELLLLP :)

You dropped it down the loo?

It all depends on what network your mates are on. Go on the same as them.

I'm on the vodafone Online 100 that you can only get online.

Costs £14.99 a month with 100 free minutes each month that carry over, also get something like £5 worth of messages or WAP service a month too but I'm not exactly sure if that was a special deal when I ordered. A good range of phone free when you take it out too.
Check the vodafone site.

I've never payed more than £15 a month with it and got a nice phone free.
Also have had a few of those places phoning up saying I have a free upgrade too get but they can never beat the contract so just hang up.

Don't go on contract thats my advice, unless someone is going to pay it.

When your on contract it's easy to just call someone and think 'oh i'll worry about it later' since you are not lumbered with the cost at that moment in time.

And with being at uni you will need to watch your pennies even more. I don't know about you but i'd hate to gt a bill at the end of each month when it could go on something like food, books or DRINK..i like to know where i am with my phone. Maybe after uni i'll get a contract!

oh and which uni are you going to?
