How expensive is your phone contract?/ how much has your highest bill been?

Mine is supposed to be £33.60 but in the year I have had it it hasn't been this once lol I know this months will be astronomical lol. I really never want another contract xD. Also my phone is a S3 and I get 2gb internet, unlimited calls and unlimited texts.

I pay £10 a month for my iPhone, but I bought the phone separately

I think it's £32 for unlimited texts, calls and Internet. Which is fine as I was paying a hell of a lot more on pay as you go.

I bought my phone outright and got a pay&go sim. Due to the nature of the Sim I earn more than I spend, so this sort of decreases my overall price based on a standard 24month contract. Atm it's valued at £13ish compared with 28+ to what I would have paid on a monthly contract. But over time I expect this to decrease even further :smile:

I call a lot tbh. I call my Dad/2 brothers/best friend all like once a week, at an hour or so each. It's actually 2000 mins I have and I do use up most of them :dontknow:

My internet I would say but that will soon be solved but I think this months will be probably about £36 over but I will be sure to post it on here but this month I can say is totally my fault but the others I have no clue my new pack renews 1jan so 2days. Then will receive my bill via text and I know my jaw will probably touch the floor.

Is your phone all you have to access the internet then? I only have 500mg and don't go over, but I might do if I didn't use my laptop most of the time.
EE - £45, Orange Fr - 39,99€ and MTS is pre-paid. None of the plans are within the allocated amount to spend, my last EE bill was £172 :colonhash:
Giffgaff! £10 a month. Not really a contract but just as good :smile:

Yep it is but I am having proper internet installed on the 16th Jan and the £16.49 for truly unlimited with WiFi is way cheaper than the £6 for 250mb although I doubt I will use my whole 2gb.

Oh my good lord :O
When I landed in Turkey recently I recieved a text from Vodafone telling me I'd now spend £155 and they'd text me when I reached £250 :lol: - my bill is supposed to be £38/month...

That bill was just over £300 and this months is £200 (with some of Turkey's bill spilling over too!)

£30 a month for unlimited texts, minutes and data. I am not convinced that I use anywhere near that amount (certainly not the texts or the minutes), but I know if I didn't have unlimited then I'd start monitoring my usage.
