Would it be worth it?

barry711

I need a new phone and for the first time I thought about getting one on bill pay. Now just to point out I hardly EVER make calls or text, only when its vital. I would like a phone to browse the net however. So I was thinking would it worth signing up to a bill pay plan in order to have a nice phone that I just use for the internet. I was just hoping someone could tell me what charges or fees I would have to pay as bill pay customer before. Line rental is one I'd assume?

Cheers guys.

If you want a subsidised phone and want to go bill pay and want a good high end phone, then the below would probably suit you:

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S II
Network: 3
Cost of phone: Free
Contract: 2 Years
Monthly bill: 40.66 EUR
Bundle: 350 flexi units (=1 call minute or 2 text messages) and unlimited mobile data.

Thank you very much Fungus

Three offer the same deal effectively if you go prepay.

Galaxy SII: €500 new unlocked.

Three prepay - Top up by €20 once a month, gives you:
- Unlimited data (15GB)
- Free texts to any network (3000 txts)
- Free three to three calls (3000 mins)
- Free any network calls at the weekend (3000 mins)

€500 handset + €20 x 24 months = Total €980
vs
€40.66 x 24 months = Total €976

Same overall price but you're not locked into a contract with three.

Have you had a look at mini flex max, €25pm, 100 Minutes, 333 texts (if you use an app like jelly sms) and Unlimited internet. A phone like the sony xperia ray is only €19 on that price plan. If you don't call a lot it would probably be the cheapest plan.

I was faced with this last summer.
Found myself in the 6 counties one day and bought an Orange Sanfrancisco in Argos ( £120 ? ) on PAYG
