Tomm Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 insurance, £4.99 a month..worth it..?? ← No. Blatently not. The shops goes for the hard sell cos they get shit loads of commission for it. But really £5/month = £60 over a year. And the most it could cost if you lose your phone is about £200 to buy a new one. So £60 to protect something worth £200 is a complete rip off. Think of it in terms of car insurance, you'd never get away with charging 1/3 of the possible payout on an insurance premium. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or crash your shitty fiesta into a Ferrari showroom or something, which would also cost a fair bit. £60 to lose a phone is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royaltrials Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) You should get one of those free O2 sims. You get 300 free texts a month, with a £10 monthly minimum top up. Once you use up these 300 free text messages they cost 10p each. This also means you have £10 credit floating about for calls during the month. Also calls to other O2 mobiles are pretty affordable, especially in the evenings. Someone is usually giving them away on here. If you want to get a new SIM-free handset then this shop has the largest and cheapest selection. Live Telecoms Nokia 3220 - £120 Nokia 6230 - £165 Nokia 6170 - £170 Edited June 1, 2005 by Royaltrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, Joe if you want an O2 sim, catch me on MSN :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are quad band. Only makes a difference if you are going abroad (out of europe), as all networks in Britain use the same band. If you get an O2 contract, the phone is unlocked :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
