Am I paying to much for my mobile contract?

[@agricrob]

I have just had my renewal for my mobile contract back. This seems to be more than what I was paying. What are peoples thoughts on new contract prices?

New contract iPhone 7 with 20G £54/month plus up front of £8

Seems a bit much to me.

TIA

Own the iphone, Sim only (but nearly unlimited use) contract, £14/month on three

I haven’t priced an inclusive contract for ages, because I typically buy the handset outright and keep it for a few years (or sell it on flebay) - but that sounds pretty expensive

What’s the term of the contract and the total amount you will pay out vs purchasing a handset and going sim only? There will always be some retained value in the handset.

Also how much data do you use - actually using all of the 20gig ?

£10 a month here , bt SIM only

if you are not too bothered about data such as looking at web sites and emails on your phone you can get a good deal by limiting the amount of data you are going to use, just 5 gig will allow lots of emails if you need them,

Just done a new conteact with vodaphone,sim only 20 gb ,for 20 quid

Vodafone sim only 8gb unlimited texts and calls £14.00.

Have a look on the likes of uswitch for a similar packages. Sounds expensive to me.

SIM only £12pm (plenty of data) plus pick up quality phones £200 - £500. You are paying £648 thats hell of a lot of money plus I assume there is a partners phone and home phone? Crikey you could be spending £1000 for phones excluding BB???

I work on the assumption of 2 yrs life for a phone so mine would be £144 x2yrs + £200 (new samsung a3) = £488 over 2 yrs. Husband has an old 4s which is recycled so he is paying another £12pm. My sim O2 business get through to good UK customer service and good web community.

Think yrs is priced 10yrs ago. Totally unjustifiable. You can save money by not having a brand new phone or last years model

Iphone 6 + unlimited texts + calls + 2GB data £22ish a month

 

[Adam@Rumen]

Do you really need 20G?

Even so, this looks a better deal: https://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/con...zdCZwPS9tb2JpbGVzL2lwaG9uZS03LWRlYWxzLyZwbz0x

EE sim only 20gb data (i need that but suspect most could get away with less) unlimited calls and txt - £15 inc vat - 12 month contract

get your phone separately IMO

We could do a contract with 10G and a new iPhone 7 for £38.50 + vat.

Any questions let me know.

Thanks

just changed mine to sim only
4gb of data unlimited mins and texts £9 a month

 

[Ruth@OrattoLaw]

£54 a month?! That's eye-wateringly expensive! I pay £35 a month for a Galaxy S8 and 64gb of data. It can be worth trying to get your network provider to offer you a more competitive deal, alternatively, as others have said go SIM only and buy your handset outright. My husband uses a Tuff Phone which he bought outright and has a sim only deal with his network which is about £15 a month.

They are half right only phones that saport band 20 .
800Mhz will work on O2 4g network as O2 only have the one band for 4g most other networks have 2 bands
So always check the phone saport band 20 if on O2
