If so go for the �45/m and drop it after 9 months. If less than �90 then you gamble on only wanting the lower tariff. -- Graeme Wall My genealogy website <www.greywall.demon.co.uk/genealogy/>

Although you do need to keep an eye on your usage. My wife's first monthly bill on her new phone (a few years ago now) covered the weeks when we moved house and had no landline. She'd used up her included minutes and every call after that was 45p/minute. We got stung for close on �200 for one month - ouch. -- Pd

That was my calculation, and what I did at the time. -- flavio matani guitar tuition http://www.flaviomatani.co.uk http://fflavio.com

Okay... :P Seriously though, are you talking about an iPhone contract? If not, why are you paying so much more than the above, for less? |
