Ive been on 3 for 12 months on a £25 a month tarriff.The Video Talk 350 it was.

200 mins Talk
100 Texts.
25 Video
25 MMS.

It was supposed to be a Free line rental deal but I got stiffed on the cash back so have ended up paying the full price.

I rang 3 30 days before the end to cancel and that was it.As per usual they rang me the other day and offered me a Free Sony K770i and the £15 talker tarriff which is 250 mins and 50 texts for £15 but they said they would reduce it to £10 and that it would stay that price for as long as I stayed with 3.

I wouldnt have minded a Sony K850i which I know 3 do but I couldnt remember the model number and Im not sure whether they would have given it me for Free.So Ive got a Sony K770i on an 18 month Contract for £10 per month.

I dont use my phone alot as since Jan 22nd then Ive used 37 mins and sent 33 texts so not a big user and some months it will be less than that which is why I was going to go PAYG.

So do you think Im better off being tied to a £10 a per month contract for 18 months rather than going to PAYG where if I used the same amount of minutes one month then it would cost more than £10 per month.

I think Ive only ever used 200 mins 1 or 2 times in the last 12 months but who knows in the future then I might start using a mobile more often.

So is it a good deal?

If you are using so little mins and texts I would get a talkmobile sim.

50 mins + 50 texts for £6 a month, monthly contract, international calls included in your mins and the first two months free.

Cheers for that.A good deal really when you compare it to PAYG.Im starting to think that at £10 per month and Free Sony K770i then its not too bad when compared to the PAYG's out there.

If I dont use the mins then it seems a waste but on the odd month that I do talk alot then it would cost me more than having this 3 deal.So will try and use the mobile more to get my money's worth.You never know I may become more popular in the next 18 months and start using the phone more often:lol:
