    You're doing really well, my basic bill is 30 euro but it's usually 35-40. Saying that though, I usually use near enough 1gb of data every month.

    My bill is €40 a month, I rarely if ever go over it, love having a bill phone, it means I never have to top up!

    Same here. It's a great deal although I'd love more data. Streaming audio eats into that 1GB very quickly.

    15 yoyos a month for 1.5gb of Data .. I have about 45 euros call credit on the phone. (I never call anybody)

    I then use the call credit for parking.

    All I use the data for is listening to Pandora and Last.fm in the car and whatsapp sometimes

    €20. Ever since I switched to Three, it's been near impossible to need to buy any more of that.

    If I top up £15 I get free texts and internet for a month. Then that £15 lasts me into the next month, using that to pay for texts/calls. Works pretty well for me.

    Recently switched from bill pay of €45pm to "3" for the €20pm any network texts and unlimited data.

    Reception is a bit patchy but it's worth it for saving the extra money. I have a work phone also, so If i get stuck with no reception I can use that if anything urgent crops up, so dead handy

    Was on bill pay for ten years. Moved to PAYG two months ago on Three.

    Couldn't be happier with it. I use quite a lot of data - 3GB (streaming music mainly) in the last week. Free texts and free any net calls at weekends for 20e.

    Data allowance on other networks are rubbish and way behind what they should be for what they're charging.

    Former iPhone user. Went and got a Nexus 4. I can now do crazy things like move files around for 300e less. It's actually like I'm allowed to do what I want with it. Even easily change the notification tone ;)

    About thirty or forty a month. I get any network texts, meteor calls and 1gb of data, but always end up having to use my phone for work related calls (we don't have a work phone), so end up spending about thirty euro or more on those calls.

    Why would you do that?
