Thinking Of Buying New Phone

    Hey I am currently on Meteor using a (Partially broken) Samsung Galaxy Ace, but I am thinking of buying either a HTC Windows Phone 8S or a Nokia Lumia 620.
    My main question is should I go bill pay, I currently am PAYG but not sure if I should stick with it or go with a deal. I would like to be you know that iPhone guy that can just use his internet all the time, rather than like myself worrying about my credit dying. I spend the 20 euro a month and get the free texts and calls to meteor and the rest probably goes on the odd call to other networks and internet when WiFi isn't around.

    Just looking for opinions I am useless with phones in all honesty.
    Thanks.

    I bought a 620 two weeks ago and it's a fantastic phone, haven't really been near my iPhone 4 since. And I'm on vodafones €30 a month pay as you go deal which is working out great for internet, texts and calls.

    Have a look at this offer from eMobile;
    Half price online exclusive

    Unlimited calls and texts to any network anytime, unlimited calls to all landlines plus 15GB of data.

    Half price for life on SIM Only, now only €32 a month when you sign up online.

    It's a month to month contract, i.e. 30 days only.

    Excellent value!

    Tesco also have a good deal although it's due to end on 31st March 13.

    That said, it's still showing on their website!

    I have both Windows & Android phones (work & personal) & can highly recommend android.

    However, I think Windows is an easier OS for anyone not that into gadgets!

    HTC & Nokia are both brilliant brands so you won't go wrong with either.

    Best of luck. :)

    Hey, just to let you know that the 8S is only €199.99 with Vodafone at Carphone Warehouse as opposed to €259.99 on meteor. I'm not sure how much it costs to unlock it but I don't think it would be anything more than a tenner online, I'm not too much of an expert when it comes to unlocking but you should still be able to save around 50 quid :) Xperia J is €159.99 too.
