Shop around for a deal Hun then when you go in for the upgrade, tell them about the deal, I did that and they matched it as well as give me extra minutes x

I just swapped my contract over. I have Virgin media for tv at home and as an existing customer Iyou can get a reall good value package. I pay £22 per month and that give me unlimited texts and data, and far more phone minutes than I'm going to be needing. Only if you're a Virgin customer already though.

It is always worth ringing your provider and having a chat. A friend of mine did that recently and got a far better deal than she was offered in the shop, tailored exactly to her needs (she needed some phone calls, loads and loads of texts, and some but not a lot of internet time). When you ring up and tell them that you are thinking of moving to another provider, they will be really quick to offer you a deal to keep your custom. Explain exactly what you need.

Most companies do a deal as the cost of mobiles is so lucrative. I've just had the iPhone5 on a 24mth contract. The handset was £209 and I pay £36 a month. This totals £1073 over the life of my contract! With o2 I get unlimited mins and texts and 1 meg data which is plenty enough as when I Use Wifi the allowance doesn't get used- it's only when using 3G you start to chip away at your usage allowance.

I got a Samsung Galaxy S3 for £29 for the phone and £33 a month from TMobile, with unlimited texts and internet, and 2000 hours of calls.

Excellent - have fun learning how to use it

It is taking me a while, because it is SO different from what I am used to with my old phone. But it is fun! I read a different section of the manual every so often, to learn something new.
