Phone contracts

[dynax]

Might have to dig out my old CB radio, i wonder if anyone still uses them, and it's not like privacy is an issue big brother monitors everything we do anyway

FYI Samsung - the largest phone manufacturer - is South Korean, not Chinese.

I’ve got a sim only on Three, unlimited calls,texts and data for £20.

I was a bit apprehensive about swapping to them because I didn’t think their coverage would be as good as O2 but I’ve had this sim a year and a bit now and never had any issues at all.

Phone wise I’ve got an iPhone XR had that a year and a half and no issues either.

My XR has been nothing but a total pain. It drops the internet, it drops the phone signal. Sometimes it fails to turn on. Factory reset didn't help. Had it for 18 months too, but I'm looking forward to December so I can justify getting something else. It's going to be a test, everything I have was Apple - but between that, the iPad filling itself with invisible stuff, and the MacBook Pro's ongoing keyboard issues I'm really tempted to say farewell to the brand.

I’ve got a 2015 MacBook Pro which is still going strong, interesting that the newer ones aren’t as good?.

I swapped over to Macs about 10 years ago now as I had a few issues with pcs that kept going wrong and couldn’t be happier with the OS and longevity of Apples computers, this will probably be my last iPhone though, not that I’ve had any issues with it, it’s just they’re really taking the piss with prices now.

I'm on my 3rd Huawei phone and won't budge from them.

Moved to Virgin recently because they had a great deal at the time.

I always do this:

Check energy suppliers every 2 months

Check for internet suppliers 1 month before existing contract ends

Check for deals on mobile phone every 6 months, some deals include they paying your surcharge for leaving early

Make sure you use more than 1 comparison website and go directly to the company's site to make sure you don't miss out. It's a bit of a faffle but saves you money

I would try 3 they had a 1 month contract that was not bad.

I was in it 6 months and got stunning deal on huwai phone.

Good phone waterproof, 2m and recovered, but did not float second swim 3m into soft mud :/

There annual contract is not bad but 1m give change to decide about reception.

Yep. I was happy to pay the premium for integration and reliability in the past. The fight I went through to get them to change the keyboard was ridiculous - and didn’t solve the issue.

The upside was that I bought a gaming laptop while the MBP was in the shop so now I can pleasure myself while the family watch crap on TV.

*not “pleasuring” as Six would do

3 have always had great deals but as with vodaphone the coverage is pants, I spend a lot of time out in the sticks ee and o2 have the most coverage up here.

I certainly won't be entertaining one of those whywhy phones just as an anti China protest that and lack of app support from now on from android.

[S-Westerly]

Almost certain I'll be returning to O2 and a Sony phone in November when my contract comes due.
