Is that the only deal you can arrange, or is there a few more?

Depends what you want I guess. Throw something at me and I will tell you.

I am currently on the o2 simplicity package £15 a month with no phone, so something with a half decent phone, ranging between £15-£20, over 12 months.

Semi impossible nowdays. Basically to get a plan that cheap you are either a sim-only user or on a 18 month contract. You would normally have to be with a network for a few years to get discounts like that... Or join 3 if you dont care about being able to actually use your phone. Hehe

So, I could get you a Nokia 6500 Classic on an 18 month for £15p/m? You have to consider the fact that this is a low usage plan and over 12 months paying £15 pm your looking at £180. After taking off the cost of the sale + ongoings like billing and customer services you could expect the profit to be about £140 approx. Now add a phone into the equation - Do you know of any decent phones you can get for £140 brand new? And if they did do a phone worth this amount - they make nothing. So... getting a 6500 classic on a £15 p/m tariff over 18 months isnt actually that bad.

Bonovox:

I haven't a clue lol, we just give away the scratch cards and stuff, they've told us absolutely nothing, I didn't even know we had a partnership with them I figured it was a Sony Ericsson promo thing.


Either way, prolly Napster, I dunno to be honest, sorry.

I've also been looking at Dolphin 15 on Orange here. Would there be any problem with using the sim in a sim-free k800 and selling the phone I get with the contract? (Would Orange have the IMEI of the contract phone on their records as my phone by any chance?)

Edit: Thanks for the suggestion JiSm, but I was hoping to spend no more than £15, and as I can get acceptable minutes and texts for this price I see no reason to go over this price (although that does sound one amazing deal, so thanks for offering )

No love for 3 then JiSm?? Been with them 3 years and they are the only network that i get 3g signal at both work and home! Just got a great upgrade deal as well, 12 months on the VTT with free internet, for £18 p/m inc vat. Well chuffed! With a crappy skype handset but im fine sticking with my g900

Worst operator in my opinion are orange. Both myself and the wife have had numerous problems with them in the past!

@FABIAN BARTHEZ lol!

Nah - Orange aren't so bad - they had a few issues recently, but thats been cleared up - even back then all you had to do, was twist their arm and they'd fall!!

Guess its just luck of which operator you through to a lot of the time. I did have problems with the spv handsets on orange though and they were really unhelpful sorting the problem.

P.s Barthez was quality!!!!
