Alright, so I need a phone, not really interested in getting a contract or anything, so just pay as you go will do, have a budget of about £150 at the most really, what tarrif/phone/company should I be looking at?

I have a Sony Ericsson W850i, and its awesome, on Orange ( who ive never had a problem with ) and cost me less than £100 on Ebay ( bought as new )

How much will you be spending in calls and texts?? Get a contract of say £20 p/m imo and you'll get a very good phone along with minutes and texts.

£120 for k800i from carphone warehouse on o2.

3 megapixel camera on it as well so decent for photo's.

Gimpeh, why not a contract? O2 do some awesome sim only deals with rolling contracts so you're only tied in for a month, otherwise the 300 free texts per month deal, again with O2 is great, that's PAYG

I only spend about £10 a month on pay as you go with Orange. I'm on one of the packages where you get free texts depending how much you topped up by the previous month and I have magic numbers set up so there's three other orange phones I can call for 15p for an hour.

I might get a samsung next. Not sure which one though. Maybe the E900 for £80.

Contract is the way to go - plenty about for a decent amount a month, with a reaosnable phone and text and minutes.

Mine from vodafone is an 18 month contract, with 500 texts a month and about 150 anytime any network minutes for £25 per month, but £12.50 for the first six months.

I got it about 7 months ago with a K800i, but you'll be able to get something better now and at the end of the contract just cancel it, sell the phone and do it again.

[retired_rasha]

It depends how much you use your phone as to whether or not contracts are the way to go. As I said, I only spend about £10 a month and I don't think anybody does a contract for that amount, never mind one that would cover all my calls and texts.

cba to start a new thread, so is the Samsung E900 any good?

[retired_jjjvassnc]

Or the U600?
