Your Mobile Phone Monthly Bill?

[Berniecuddles2]

How much do you pay for monthly for your mobile phone.
I have a samsung galaxy s5 I use giffgaff £7.50 a month
750mb data...500 minutes..unlimited texts.
Was at bluewater yesterday looking in phone shops some of the new phones were nearly £50 a month to run seems astronomical to me!

[albaqwerty]

we're both on PAYGO, Mr Alba is orange (don't ask!!) for a tenner he gets free texts, dunno how many, think it's 300.
Am on Virgin, a £10 top up gives me unlimited land-line and 120 minutes but have to pay for texts.
Seldom text tho, itsy-bitsy keys and big fat fingers are a problem!

£50 - jeez, some shops see folk coming don't they? :-D

I used to be with Giffgaff but the speed I was getting on 4G was shocking. I pay £10 a month for 2.5 GB data and 200 minutes with unlimited texts. Every three months my data allowance increases by .5GB

I have always bought my phones outright.

Afternoon Albs xx
The phones@£50 were brand new ones samsung galaxy 8 or I phone ....I saved up and bought mine saved me a couple of hundred quid in the long run

[Berniecuddles2]

Hi hc4361 much better if you can afford to buy one it will save you about £200 mine did compared to if I went on a monthly contract

[Baldric]

Bought a decent Sim-free smartphone outright a while back, have got a Sim Only 18 month contract, £10 a month with Tesco (O2) atm, gives me all I need with good coverage.

[hc4361]

Zackly so, Bernie - and I can chop and change providers at any time to make sure I get the best deals.

'ello cuddlyone :-D xx

Mr Alba's phone was a gift to me, but made sense for him to have it, size of buttons and the flip-flap cover helps protect the thing when he's up scaffolding etc.
My phone was very expensive, £15.99 which included a tenner of credit.
Ok, so we can't internet etc, but I did once use phone on FB and blooming heck, nah, not for me :-D

[Barmaid]

I use Sky. I get unlimited calls and texts and can roll over unused data to next month. At a tenner, I think it's great (considering on my old contract it was about 35 quid a month).

[Gromit]

I pay £27 and for that I get unlimited data.

Which means I do not have to pay for a landline (£19) or for Broadband. I am lucky because my 4G signal is significantly faster than the fibre broadband I had previously.

[woofgang]

I bought my iphone from apple and my O2 payg is a tenner a month for more minutes, texts and internet than I can use. I am limited on which services I can choose from as many of them have a dire signal in the New Forest.

[Mexican18]

Both my wife and I are on the same deal as Baldric with our own phones.Plus Tesco points! Great deal.

[queenofmean]

Current personal use phone £17.00 tariff data, unlimited minutes and texts. £30 a month for the handset

£9.34 for my business phone

[hc4361]

Gromit, do you live alone?

[Guilbert53]

>>HC4361 - I pay £10 a month for 2.5 GB data and 200 minutes with unlimited texts

That is a pretty amazing deal, who is that with?

[hc4361]

EE, Guilbert. It's very fast, too.

[Islay]

I pay £45 a month, unlimited calls, data and texts and a iPhone 7 on a 12 months contract.

[Buenchico]

One or two £10 or £20 top-ups per year, on my PAYG phone, are sufficient for me. (I hardly ever use it. When I do I can usually charge the company that I work for anyway).

[sunny-dave]

Mobile phone contracts should be thought of as being two charges - one buying the handset and one for the usage (I think Tesco may even detail this breakdown for some contracts).

My unlimited data/calls/text cost the same £27 as Gromit pays (I also have no landline but get very fast 4G data). I also pay about £22 a month towards the handset - a significant discount over 24 months on the cash price at the start of the contract.

After the 24 months I'll bin this contract and just pay the £27 or so for the usage package.
