I do love sim only. O2, 600 minutes, 1200 texts and unlimited web on a
30 day contract with no cross-network restrictions. Even their 12
months sim only contract is excellent value at £20 per month with 800
minutes, 1600 texts and a free bolt on of your choice.
Cheers.
Rob

Precisely, that's why I have Sim only. I get to buy my phone
elsewhere, unlocked and unbranded, and can opt out after 30 days. I
also get unlimited texts and 600 minutes for £20 a month, and this
suits me very well. I would hate to be tied down for 24 months to a
phone contract in that way, but it's personal preference. I do,
however, agree with Neil.

Ibrahim,
Darren wasn't saying don't go on contract, simply have a contract
without the phone, this is often referred to as SIM only.
The networks have to subsidize the cost of the phones when you have
one
from them, so this is taken into consideration.
You can often over the period of the term of the contract get a better
deal by buying a phone of your choice from Nokia or elsewhere, and
then
going on SIM only from any of the providers, verse the equivalent cost
for the same period of getting the phone through the provider.
You can also often get more for your money going SIM only and don't
forget you get the phone you want, not only a choice from what they
offer.

Hi Darin.
I wouldn't be so skeptical about contracts, if you make a lot of calls
or send plenty of texts then contract could save you a fortune. I
just
renewed
my contract with Three, I have 750 minutes, unlimited internet, texts
and three to three calls, free Skype and windows live messenger, free
mobile mail and 150 video calling minutes for £35 per month with an
N86
on a 24 month contract. Horses for courses I guess, but I'm happy.
All the best, Ibrahim.

I won't ever buy a contract phone again. For 1 thing you get a much
better
deal if there's no phone involved. As for talks, well the basic
version
just
doesn't cut it for me. Prem all the way.

Hi List,
Thank you all for the fantastic information. I think it would be best
if he
bought the upgrade himself as he would be in control.
Barbara was persuaded to stay on the list and I hope she still does. I
think
the matter should be completely closed.
Kindest Regards, John

That is why I also don't buy Talks from them, or my phones come to

Which is why I stay in control of how I do things with Talks.
They are fine about giving me the money I have to fork out for the
licence
swap each time I upgrade and that is fine with me.

You have to be aware that although Vodafone know about talks and the
process
for getting it on the phone, they don't always know of all the latest
handsets talks works with.
That was my experience in January this year anyway.

Hi John
Yes, it is common practice for Vodafone to send any phone away to have
Talks
put on it. What happens is that it goes down as a repair, and sent to
their
repair centre, who then load Talks on.
They say it normally takes up to a week to do this.

Hi List,
I will try to get this e mail information correct.lol
A friend of mine has contacted Vodaphone regarding an upgrade to talks
premium. He was informed he would have to send the phone back to
Vodaphone
for them to install talks.
Is this common practice or is there been an alternative arrangement?
I am really asking thus members of the list who are with Vodaphone and
have
got the upgrade through them.
Kindest Regards, John
