Mobile Contract and Broadband

[volxstu]

Im on the lookout for a Mobile Phone contract with a Mobile broadband dongle included and poss a free Playstation 3 or something can anybody point me in the right direction.

the PS3 deals are scams, legal scams, but no one reads the fine print so they expect to get a free PS3, common sense tells you that isnt going to happen.

forget freebies and special offers, just decide how many minutes and texts you really need, then find the cheapest deal that will give you what you need. there are dozens of websites that tell you what deals are availalbe.

personally i'd rather lick a razor every day than get a contract phone, you can get plenty of free mins and txts on pay as you go these days.

I can actually say that these are not scams i got an Xbox 360 Last time i got a contract and it arrived within a month of Activating my sim so you do get the freebies. I like to have a contract because i used to end up spending my credit money on anything other than credit so its easy to just have a standing order coming out each month and 35 quid doesnt really break the bank now does it.
The other reason that i want to carry on contract is that there are some deals for unlimited broadband Dongles out there i just cant find one that i want, as i will be streaming video from the computer in my car to the internet so if anybody twoc's it they are on the internet doing so. Just need to make sure that i can switch it off whilst im in the car because there are many things that i do in my car that i dont particularly want to put on the net.

If you already got a mobile Try something like a sim only Monthly Contract
Theres no 12/18 month contract just give 30 days notice. You get alot more text's/Minutes. You can get broadband really cheap these days aswell. As for the free ps3 You will get it after paying your first bill but you end up paying it back any way with the Rip off line rental. Up to you your choice Your money. If you want the Broadband witht Orange or these companys dont forget you need a BT line

Righttt.......

So my 25 quid a month for 125 + unlimited evening and weekends mins, unlimited texts, mms and abit of browsing chucked in is not good value??

Find me a free phone and that sort of tariff on payg. (A good phone, usually that retails on payg for around 250 - 400). I have a Samsung G800, which is probably not available on payg.


And to the guy looking for 'Unlimited' Broadband. All the 3G unlimited deals which are free usually have a 3gig transfer rate a month. Uploading video to the web constantly will blow that out of the water in a day?

Line rental is only a rip off if you let it, my contract came with an Xbox 360 3200 Mins and 200txt's for 35 squids a month and that was 18mnths ago, but you can just phone up the Service provider and say that your tarif is crap you want a better one and they gave me 500 now unlimited txts and 600 mins which does me fine.

Well it was a figure of speach it should work pretty much anywhere.

Yes it is pretty good nowadays . Can use it at Bedale in the middle of no where in north Yorkshire at 512kbit .

i want one of those dongles too

There are stories of people running up '000s in bills thinking that up/down loading is free - you use allowance every time you load a site I believe so be careful!
