Rarther not sign up for an 18 month contact just so I can pay more for some mins I'm not even going to use. For life, lol. What so have a poor phone for 18 months and have to deal with poor t-mobile signal just for them to say at the end of the 18 months yes 25% of for life but your going to have to pay £50 for a bottom of the range handset. Thanks but no thanks.

I think you will find most of the handsets are free and they are not bottom of the range handsets... :rolleyes:

Just ordered Silver Vario with co-pilot on web and walk 35! Hardly bottom of the range phone.

Hmmmm, thats great. So that £26.75 X 18 so thats £481.50 for the 18 months. If you think thats good then your on another palnet.

Just because you don't use the minutes they give you, no-one else does?

Well, that sure looks like a better deal than 3 months' half price line rental to me. YMMV.
What so have a poor phone for 18 months
Sure, their phone range is not as wide as other networks, but you'd only have a "poor phone" if you chose a "poor phone". And yes, the general idea of an 18 month contract is that you're committed to 18 months.
and have to deal with poor t-mobile signal
Just depends on where you use mostly your phone, doesn't it? I mean, people actually put up with 3 and their coverage/problems make T-Mobile look positively angelic.

What exactly is stopping you from choosing whichever network is offering the best value in 18 months' time? That's what PAC codes are for.
Wait 18 months though, bet I can find any handset cheaper tbh.
You can't be serious. You conveniently forgot to mention that the alternative is, of course, a 12 month contract. In which case, "Wait 12 months though, bet I can find any handset cheaper tbh." to you too.

You might find that you're the one on another planet. Yes, it is good value to get the Vario, Co-pilot and 18 months of Flext35 + unlimited data from handset for £481.50 (though I'm sure there's a handset cost too. My point still stands) - have you seen the SIM-free prices of the Vario? You seem to be forgetting that the £481.50 (+ price of handset) happens to include up to 900 minutes or 1800 texts per month. Try an equivalent calculation on a different network's tariff.

For the record, I'm not related to T-Mobile in any way (neither as a customer nor employee), but it doesn't take one to see that their deal is roughly equivalent to what 3 did a few years ago, i.e. groundbreaking. I'm not quite sure what your problem is, but no-one is forcing you to buy a T-Mobile contract. :rolleyes:

Heh you think its just going to sit on my desk and im not going to use it? What about the £180 per month credit of which i will quite possibily use all of it.

Seems to me like you really haven't a clue what you are talking about, or have any idea what a mobile phone is for. :rolleyes:
 
Don't know what offer this is but I was about to sign a new contract with o2 and decided to go for an 18 month one to get more minutes for my money. I think I was paying £19/month for 100 anytime mins but I was always going over and ended up paying £30-£40 a month.

So I asked for the 300 minute deal for £30 a month but they said for an extra £5 a month I could have 1000 minutes (some special offer) plus they give me a free phone which I'll sell (since I'll always keep my trusty 8210 :)).

So £35 a month for 1000 minutes. Pretty good I think :D

1000 minutes and 200 texts for the first 6 months.

500 minutes and 100 texts there after.

No, but if I did have them I would use them, but do I need them, probally not. But still nice to have them, but there not free they cost money at the end of the day.

Well, that sure looks like a better deal than 3 months' half price line rental to me. YMMV.

So in real terms (as its very hard to get a good upgrade on a less than £30 pm tariff) thats 9 months half price or 4.5 months free then. Not so great if you have to pay £35 p/m (in effect) for the other 13.5 months.

Sure, their phone range is not as wide as other networks, but you'd only have a "poor phone" if you chose a "poor phone". And yes, the general idea of an 18 month contract is that you're committed to 18 months.

There isnt that many phones for a good price that I would cosider taking, but thats my problem. T-mobile 9/10 take the longest to release new handsets.

Just depends on where you use mostly your phone, doesn't it? I mean, people actually put up with 3 and their coverage/problems make T-Mobile look positively angelic.

This is not realy true either, "3" use O2 as a back up network so there signal should now be as good as O2. "3" phones in the past have had poor signal for a couple of reasons....... the main reason is when they used to not use a backup network there own coverage was v poor, and secondly they supply poor LG and NEC phones that are quite frankly rubbish and wouldn't get much signal on any network.

What exactly is stopping you from choosing whichever network is offering the best value in 18 months' time? That's what PAC codes are for.

Nothing, and thats what 99% of us do, its just people bang on about this "life" thing when realy its not that great after all.

You can't be serious. You conveniently forgot to mention that the alternative is, of course, a 12 month contract. In which case, "Wait 12 months though, bet I can find any handset cheaper tbh." to you too.

Ok, I'm confused by this, all I said is that I could find the handset or simmular for cheaper thats all.

Another planet, almost.... Swansea to be exact! Sim free Vario's/xda mini s/i-mate what ever's are very over priced (although on ebay there are a snip of that price!)and why would you ever buy one when its cheaper to buy the phone with 12 months line rental for free, also I beleve its at an extra cost for "free" data too, is it not (not that its all that great as its only a 2G phone and data is so slow!)? You want me to find you cheaper? How many mins/txts do you use? I will do my best to find better, and thats total cost inc line rental.

P.s. I'm not starting a keyboard war, we just have different views on vaule.
 
I signed upto the flext offer ont he 28th and recieed the email about them checking my credit, im yet to recieve anything else back but recieved a call from an unknown number on my current number (maybe tmobile rining me?). Am i still in my right to get the 25% off or am i screwed?

FYI Although they use 02's network they still use there own switching gear so the end result is you still get lost calls, cut off calls just general bad reception.

Although i will point out i havnt had a phone with three for ages but know of several people that do and they say they are now excellent

I too made an online order for a flext contract and phone on the 28th and was told that they have a 3 day turnaround for web orders. As long as the actual order was placed before may 1st (as is the case for me n you - 28th) then we will deffo get the 25% off deal as long as we pass the credit checks. I was also informed that the MDA Pro which is the handset I opted for is currently out of stock but even so I will still be entitled to the 25% off when it comes back in stock in a couple of weeks and not to worry about it being done after the promotion ends.

Yep, I have heard nothing but good things about them in the last 12 months. Like I say lots of there problems were not only down to poor signal but also poor handsets they supplyed.
 
My uncle's family is using 3 at the moment. I call them every other week or so, and (no exaggeration) there has not been one single call over 10 mins where I was not cut off mid-call. Always happens, always have to dial again. Some longer calls mean getting cut off more than once. They live in Gateshead, Newcastle so it's possible they're on a marginal area, but when I go up there, the phone usually has full strength indication... :confused:

That said, (at least until Flext) they had by far the best prices and many other people seem to be getting on fine with 3. All I can say is that I'll be personally sticking to Vodafone with a vague semblance of consistient, good reception and customer service, even if it means paying more. Lucky I only need 200 or so minutes a month, otherwise I will seriously have to look at going Flext.

Flext is an amazing deal not for people like me (~300 mins per month, which means getting a low Flext tariff which in turn means higher handset costs, so those two balance out over the year usually), but people who use 500+ minutes per month. Many of my friends just can't get enough free minutes, some regularly getting 3 figure phonebills a month. Flext will effectively reduce it to two figures, almost guaranteed (since the Flext 75 gives up to 1950 free minutes per month).
