My contract is up for renewal shortly and I'm thinking I may keep my old phone (a Touch HD) for a few more months to save some money but looking at the sim only plans on the O2 website they appear to all lack the ability to add data to them. I think I remember there being a sim only for smartphones deal, if so what does it offer?

At the moment I don't really need that many texts or minutes (200 of each maybe) but also need data, what sort of cost monthly would that be?
 
Thanks! Where did you find that lol:o, I looked last night (admittedly not very hard...) and could only find the standard sim only deals... That 300 minuute one looks just the ticket, thanks. :)
 
if you're happy to be locked in for 12months you save £5/month, that's the one I went for(£15/month 'for smartphones') end of feb when quidco where offering the £50/£100 cashback(I'm still waiting for an earning enquiary as mine didn't track).
 
If you can get decent signal with t-mobile then i'd recommend looking at the virgin media sim only plan.£20 a month and you get 800 mins,unlimited texts and internet with 2gb allowance.

I'm only looking to get it for a couple of months until I decide what phone I want (and have some more money). Never quite understood the 12 month sim only contracts tbh, although I guess they have some use to people (would be cheaper to get a proper contract and sell the phone unused in most cases).

That means changing providors and TBH I don't need any more than a couple of hundred texts and mins so it would be a bit pointless. :)
 
Take a look at giffgaff. My Orange contract for my Touch HD just expired and I've moved over.

It piggy backs on the 02 network and offers various top up deals.

I pay £10pm for 100mins, unlimited texts and unlimited internet and can quit when ever I like.

it takes a couple of days to show up on your account, if it doesn't show up within 30days from when you bought the contract then you need to fill out the earning enquiry like I had to do(this takes upto 90days to resolve).
 
speak to retentions/renewals when your contract is almost up, they seem quite flexible when it comes to moving you to a sim only contract (at least they were a year ago when I did) got a significantly better deal than was available on the site, and seemingly better than what's available now
 
O2 payg gets you 300 text and unlimited internet for £10 a month, then you get £10 of credit for calls. Might be worth a look if you don't make to many calls.
 
tesco(there on o2 network) do a £15 a month sim and its month by month so if you see something else your not locked in to a 12month contract
500mins/unlimited text and data(500mb far use on data)

I will be doing that, just not sure if it's that good idea as I don't want to lose "credit" when I get a new 18 month contract. Ie. will the loyalty bonus be better spent on the new 18month contract and top of the range phone or a few months of simplicity...:p
 
Ok, so I signed up for my sim only contract this morning expecting £25 cashback on my £10 a month 300mins, unlimited text deal.

Quidco site is now showing up to £100 cashback on the £20 a month tariff as a limited offer!! :mad:
