Can't think why, it is crap. :D

How about getting that deal for £5 a month or completely free? There are a load of credible websites that will give you in the region of £500.00 cashback for a 12 month contract.

Would love to know what company offers £500 cash back?

Quidco.com says the biggest ever cash back deal was £100 on a 24 month iPhone contract....

Good website nice to know in the future.....

Couple of points the phone costs £29 to buy sim free

Also it's t mobile worst network ever but might find a good deal on the site

Once again, might be worth your while taking a few seconds longer than you normally do before commenting. All network operators are on that site not just t-mobile and all phones, you just didn't look past the first page or apply any filters or for that matter any common sense.

ive been with orange for five years and when my contract comes close to the end i phone them up and say im considering moving.within half an hour i get a call back to discuss how they can keep me on their network.
i have never had an issue with orange,there customer service are always friendly .
I have no intention of moving to any network and this thread is no more than a sales pitch. many agents have said they can better my deal then hang up when i tell them what i get .
to answer your question i may not use all my mins but i know that i wont run out and get charged for overs

Actuallywe have merged with orange:)

No you haven't merged with orange. T-mobile have merged with orange, Utility Warehouse just happens to be a reseller of the T-mobile network. So it is a bit of a jump to say that Utility Warehouse and Orange are one and the same wouldn't you think?

UW - Merged with Orange Ha Ha.

My Owl 1 Do you not think you should know a bit more about the company that you are representing?

I would love be a fly on the wall when Tom Alexander (boss of Orange UK) gets the entire Orange management team together and saying "guys, I've had an idea" there is this daft little pyramid telecoms company that I think we should jump in to bed with! What do you think?

I wonder if Orange has a mobile network in Siberia? Anyone know if Tom likes snow?

It must be lonely when it never rings though :D

Oh it rings quite a lot,I just am smart enough to use me phone from home to call people for free.

I mean why pay for hot air.?:|

The only time I would use the thing is if the car broke down ( not happened in 10 years ) or any other emergency.

Lets face it only desperate people need a mobile phone or the fashion conscious.;)

Its just a way of avoiding feelings of being cut off for most or maybe a hobby substitute.IMHO

Must admit I'm the same as uncle Albert, almost tempted just to leave the mobile plugged in the glove box.

I don't like it and I don't use it. If someone wants to call me, they'll do it when I want them too, when it is convenient for me. Bloody thing going off in my pocket, when I'm in the middle of talking with someone.

I'm not as arrogant and miserable as I sound, I hope. But mobiles are a very rude intrusion into life.

I use my work mobile for two things, making outgoing calls and using it as a mailbox for incoming calls. If I don't recognise the number I don't answer and let it go to voicemail, when I play messages back I can pick and choose who I want to respond to.

My personal phone is a little different in that I use it to keep in touch with friends and family when I am moving about a lot. Most of the time they both live in silent mode, I hate the sound of mobiles ringing.

Good for you LTT, but I do think you me and Earl, maybe in the minority.

Free Blackberry torch
1,200
Unlimted texts (Although says 3000)
unlimted texts
blackberry bolton

£40p/m

Better off waiting for the new much better Blackberry Torch 2 to come out in a couple of months. Original Blackberry Torch is under powered and sluggish and on the whole a pretty crap phone - and this comes from a Blackberry lover!

Absolutely justifyable:)


Can't they put you on a tracker?

I have just the thing for you... http://www.buddi.co.uk/

Many of the people we care about most can be vulnerable – elderly parents or relatives, individuals with Alzheimer's and dementia, children, teenagers and those with learning difficulties. We all know someone who could benefit from a buddi.

In other words a tracker for old people who go wandering off?

UW can't beat the 99p phones that Carphone Warehouse were selling. £10 voucher so for less than £11 you had a fully working normal mobile with sms text, colour screen, mini-spotlight and full address book.

In fact, i bought two of them for the old folks so they have a phone each..for the drawer on either side of the bed...or the car..but they usually forget to take them out to the car, or forget they're mobile, or can't find the button to switch them on.

They'll remain in the drawer until i replace them in a few years time.
