Students, do you pay your own phone bill?

What phone is it.

iPhone 6s Plus

That's quite expensive. What phone is it?

Is pity alright?



That's a good deal.

Out of interest, how much is it?

It is rather expensive. I have an iPhone 7.

Yes, a massive £5 a month

I've paid for my own phone since I was 13.

It might look like that, but in the long run I would have probably spent as much money as someone on a conventional 24 month contract.

Think about it; I bought my phone for £480 and I pay £10 a month on the line rental alone. £10 × 24 months = £240. Add £480 that I spent on the phone itself and that would be £720 I have spent on the phone in 2 years.

Whereas on contract, I would probably spend about £30 - £40 ish a months. That would add up to about £700ish too. The monthly payments on contract also covers the cost of the actual phone itself, so that makes sense.

Giffgaff is good in that you can switch up your goodybag deals with whatever suits you. You might need less data or more minutes that usual for one month, so you may opt for a differently priced goodybag, but on contract you have to stick to the same minutes, data etc for 24 months

Parents bought my phone for me (iPhone 7).
But got a sim free deal from the past which has 100 minutes + 2000 voice minutes, Unlimited Data and 5000 text for £12.00 month

I pay £12 a month on giff gaff. I have an iPhone 6s that I bought outright 14 months ago.

I've paid for my own phone since the contract ran out on my iPhone 5, at which point I went to giff gaff on a sim only.

That's quite expensive. What phone is it?

In sixth form? People in sixth form still live with their parents

Yep £48 /month, every month! Don't want my mum paying for things like that, especially as it's so costly!

Lol, mines £50 per month

iPhone?

You know me better than that to ask this question. Of course.
