I am sure the answer is clear, but would like to know what the catch actually is.
Right, my mobile contract is due to come to and end in about 4-6 weeks time. Now I want a new phone, although am not that fussed about which one.
My monthly phone bill has been £30 a month for the last 12-18 months. I never go over my free allowance of minutes or texts (200 mins and 50 texts).
Now an online computer retailer do a load of phone deals where you either get a so-called 'free' lcd, ps3 or wii. I am 100% sceptical as nothing is free, but these deals all have more minutes than what I have already and cost the same money as what I am paying already.
Where is the catch? My thoughts on the catch are
1. Longer contract (although they state 12 months?)
2. When you go over your minutes, they bust with super high phone charges (although I hardly use mine now)
3. Data charges shaft you if you use interweb
Suggestions ... need assistance here! Perhaps I should just be on a cheaper contract? But then that would still save me at best £10 a month, which tbh, if I got a gift and sold it, I would actually make more?
There is a scam, please find it for me ... and any suggestions with regards to my upgrade would be welcomed. I would like to keep my number.
