Yep gotta watch that. My phone had a weather application which got updated every morning automatically. On my Tariff it's 30p for data per day so charges were racking up till I sussed out how to turn the auto update off.

With the more techy smart phones they assume your on a package which includes data and stuff like that.

I've got the iPhone, bit chunky and overpriced but I won it

Rang o2's cancelation service today and they told me that the current contract deal i'm on ends in about 2 months but the date where I can pick a phone to upgrade is in about 1 month. Told the chap on the phone that t-mobile were doing unlimited texts and 600 minutes for £15 a month, its a sim only deal and he knew that. He said the o2 deals change at the end of every month, so knowing that theres no way out of this current contract plus it expires soon, i'll be giving them a call with 30 days notice of cancelling and telling him the most decent deal around and if they can't match it and give me a blackberry or iPhone then it will be cheerio and hello T-Mobile.

Heard from a fair share of websites and friends who have told me about the haggling you can do with o2 so it'll be fun.

I'm sending my phone in tomorrow for repair, I've had enough of it turning itself off/restoring itself to factory settings then back to normal/cutting out in the middle of phonecalls. When it comes back they're going to give me a call back and ask how I'm getting on. Even if it's fine I'm half tempted to say I still want another phone.

My contract is up in a couple of months and all I want is a PHONE!!!

Most of you on here will know I am not all that computer literate so all the gadgetry you get on phones these days is not much use to me, I don't even do much texting!!!

So what is the best deal out there for a new phone (model suggestions appreciated) and a basic contract around 500+ minutes a month with as little text capacity as possible, as I believe it is virtually impossible to get a package without texts. Unless you know different of course?

Try billmonitor.com or http://www.moneysavingexpert.com (click on Utlitities/Phones). Both of these should find you the best deal for mobile phones.

TVoR, look at 02 Simplicity, it's sim only but you can either do a 12 month contract or a 30 day rolling which is rare nowadays, meaning of course you can cancel at any time with 30 days notice. They're cheap as chips too, I mean you don't get a handset but you can pick decent enough ones up for what you want for £80 or so.

I'm sure T-Mob do a similiar plan to 02's Simplicity also.
