Hi Guys,

Currently, Im on the online 35 contract from O2. Its a 12 month contract and it will be coming to the end at the end of December. Just after christmas I expect.

From over the last couple of months, Ive been using a lot of mobile internet on my N73. Its costing me about an extra £10 a month on average. So my bill is coming in @ around £45. O2 dont have any good deals on the mobile internet side of things. I am thinking of changing contracts.

Ive had a brief look around and T-Mobile does seem to do some good deals with the Flext 'Web n Walk'. The Flext 35 Web and Walk seems a very good deal. Unlimited browsing then a £120 allowance. Upto 600 mins or 1200 txts. I only send around 400-500 txts a month and only use around 300 mins so the £120 allowance is ideal.

Is anyone had any experience with T-Mobile contracts? Ive only ever used O2 for contracts. Is thier mobile internet a decent service? I would'nt be downloading anything, just browsing and reading emails and forums etc.
 
Web'n'Walk is very decent. Their DNS servers used to be terrible, but I think they've improved these days.

You might also want to check out 3. They do unlimited data for £5 a month. Mix'n'match 900 (900 mins, 900 texts or any combination of the two) is £24 a month so you'd be saving about £8.5 a month.
 
I've just signed up with o2 again and added the data bolt on. It was a choice between them and t-mobile, but all my family/mates and my girlfriend are on o2, so the unlimited free calls is nice.

Gone for the online 25 which gives me 200 xnet anytime minutes, 400 texts AND unlimited free calls to o2 mobiles anytime, for £25 a month. I've then added the £7.50 data bolt on which gives me 200mb browsing a month. That is plenty enough for me and the beauty is I can turn it on and off from month to month.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I will check out 3, they seem to offer the same kind of deal like T-Mobile. Not sure about there service though and possible phones. Will have to see if thats on a 12 month contract.

That O2 deal is ok. I suppose, with everyone I know on O2 practically, it would be a good deal. Thing is though, will have to see how many mb of browsing Im using atm, if 200mb is enough. I'l check out my online bill to see what I can find out.

One thing though with O2, I want the W960i as upgrade / new phone. There are reports that O2 may just wait till the new year to release it on thier network with them getting the iPhone contract.
