I've found a deal on Phones4u which is the HTC One S in grey (free handset) for £15.50 a month with Orange Panther. This includes 50 mins of calls, 250mb of Internet and 3000 texts, which I believe to be the limit anyway for unlimited texts...
So I was just wondering if this is a fairly good deal compared to others, and if there were better ones out at the moment? My current contract/phone is awful so I don't want any mistakes this time. Also, if anyone already has the One S, is it good?
Thanks

Seems to be quite a competitive deal. There is a T-Mobile tariff with 100mins, 3000 texts & 250MB data for £15.50 per month. or tesco deal on o2 with 100 mins, unlimited texts & 100MB data for £18.50 p/m plus free insurance.

Change the sliders to 0 mins:

I originally thought that was a great deal, but I then realised that 250mb data would not be sufficient for me and wouldn't allow me to take advantage of an important feature - internet.

The HTC One S is a brilliant phone though

50 mins.....? forgot the data, you'll go over so much you'll get huge bills, I'm sure there are better one s deals than that

It may be worth going for a contract with 500MB of data. Remember any data that you use while connected to wi-fi will not be included within your data allowance.

I don't think I'll need that much tbh, plus my budget is £15.50. So can I connect to my home wifi for free, yeah?

Well I'm on 50 mins at the moment, and so far this month I've used 2 mins of that...

Yes connect to your home wi-fi (or wi-fi hotspots or bt open zones) for free.

I would go for one of the deals from best-mobile-contracts.co.uk, seems to offer what you need. T-Mobile 100 mins, unlimited texts, 250MB data & free handset. T-Mobile & Orange are the same company so you will get the same coverage.

Try tesco mobile. Some of their deals are up to 5000 texts and they have pretty good phones too. try billmonitor.com it'll tell you how much you need for your money and your best deal.

Hey back again, I was wondering if someone could take a look at it for me, just to double check :P

I'm going for the Orange Panther contract for £15.50 a month, but in the Promotional Offers section, it says "*£120 by redemption". I don't understand. Does this mean that the effective cost of the phone is £15.50 because of the £120 redemption, or that the cost is £15.50 a month, and also there is £120 redemption?
Many thanks, sorry for being a nuisance!
