Sim Only Or Contract

[johnny37]

saw a similar thread earlier and i still feel baffled by mobile phones .Cant make head nor tail how to use it except for the most simple functions. One main prob is i cant read the screen without my reading glasses which i never keep about my person. If i keep the phone in my pocket the ringing tone stops before i can retrieve it. I find trying to use the internet a real pain (on the phone. Its easier to check my messages on my laptop. Facebook is the same. My tariff is £4 pm for for the priviledge of making maybe one call a month. Would a SIM only deal be more appropriate. Anyone else feel the same?

I'm on a pay as you go arrangement. Handset replacement is a cost but I still reckon it's cheaper in the longer term. £4 a call is rather a lot.

Firstly, do you own the phone outright or is it part of your contract?

If you do own the phone, is it unlocked so that you can use any providers SIM card?

I think you find it hard to find a cheaper plan, to be honest. The cheapest EE pay as you go SIM card is £5 a month and the unused minutes are cancelled after 30 days.

How much do you pay, OG?

[Old_Geezer]

Nothing if I don't wish to. But if I want to get another month's inclusive text bundle, £10 that month. That said I've been on this deal for years now. It suits me but I suspect there are better ones out there.

[Old_Geezer]

The £10 stays until used. It doesn't disappear at the end of the month.

That is unusual. Who is your provider?
