> Is this T650i contract worth the money?
Bookmark topic
The contract i'm looking at is for either a green or blue ericsson T650i, it's an 18 month contract, it is usually £35 a month but they have reduced it to £25 for the full length of the contract. You get 500 minutes and 600 texts a month. Is it worth it? (It's my first cotract and i'm not familiar with them)

I'm paying the full £35 for that contract.
£25 is a decent price actually, and the phone is awesome =)
I think there is more deals now though isnt there?

Don't know, was just looking for a decent price on ebay for the phone and i saw the deal at the bottom of the screen. £25 doesn't seem a great deal to pay but was just really wondering whether theres any hidden fees or any way they can catch you out and get you to pay more.

I would say a lot depends really on if you are going to use all those minutes and texts or not. But to be honest for a £35pm tariff on a 18 month contract you can get virtually any phone for free you may be better off getting a more expensive device and selling it and then buying your T650 Sim free and using the extra to help pay for the line rental IMO.
I really hate the way the Networks are really trying to push us users all into 18 month £35pm contracts and 24 months if they can get away with it. What really bothers me is the difference in handset values you can get for free on these tariffs, some people are really being stitched up IMO.

I know what you mean. My contract is £20 a month (18 months). My first bill was £20.56 and this months was only £14 something.

These 500 minutes per month, are they anytime and to any network or standard landline?
That's where I've always been caught out in the past, I don't think I've ever had a bill for the simple monthly tariff from any operator and I've used just about all of them in the UK! There always seems to be call charges regardless of how many minutes I have left.
That aside though, this sounds like a very good deal. It's all well and good saying that you should get a better handset and then sell it etc. but it is just extra hassle and could be risky if you're unfortunate enough to get ripped off.
I'd be tempted anyway. Just check the small print about the inclusive minutes

The minutes are anytime to any network, as are the texts
