In like march next year I'm looking at getting a new phone and/or contract but I am literally like shocked at how much they cost??
I used to pay £25 for a phone (iPhone 5S), 1GB data and unlimited everything; now I pay £8.99 for 5GB data and unlimited. I really hate the idea of paying SO MUCH extra a month for phone so I'm thinking of saving up to buy a phone outright (second hand) and sim only deal?
Thoughts?
I pay nothing, because my dad pays it for me ;) But yeah, mine costs a lot which is pretty stupid considering I only have 2gb of bloody data :(
I pay £10 per month, but it's on GiffGaff so it's not a contract. I bought my phone outright for around £180 (the best budget phone you could buy at the time). They keep changing the goody bags but for the £10 I get 500 minutes, unlimited texts and 3gb of data.
Same as Samantha. GiffGaff is the best.
I pay £10 a month - Sim Only contract with O2. I agree, I hate paying extra for a phone on top of a contract, so I buy the phone I want off set and just have a cheap contract.
Win Win really.
Sim only and paygo have quickly become muuuuch better options, I'm contracted for £13/m but could be getting the same things for a fiver with giffgaff tbh, not gonna stay on when the contract ends
£50 a month :'( 5gb date and unlimited everything else. Got the Samsung S7 Edge the day it was released.
£35 5gb and unlimited. Parents have paid for that one but this one (christmas) I've vowed that I will pay for the majority and the rest will be part of Christmas for me - I promised the current phone I have was the last one I get given to me and I'm happy I'm sticking to it!!!
Galaxy S8+ contract with Vodafone £12 with unlimited mins, texts and 30gb data. Should have been £48 a month
whaT THE SHIT HOW CAN YOU AFFORD THATQuote:

Unfortunately, the working season hasn't been good to me this year, I couldn't afford to go on Holiday as we had too many bar staff, we usually lose a few so I'm suprised. :(
Gosh that sounds so much fun than being stuck in an office 5 times a week with just enough money to pay rent and bills! - though how annoying, I used to work in a bar and hours used to always go down when the company overhires :(Quote:

Data is annoyingly expensive and I used to have to get 2GB a month until my work finally got wifi (extra $10 for the extra 1GB on top of my $19)
I pay around £15,5 for unlimited data, call and text. Then i have 6gb data to use outside of Denmark...
I always buy my phone outright, else it will cost like £40 a month with limited data etc.
£60 a month iphone 7 plus 128gb 20gb data unlimited calls and text
£76 a month before discount, After discount like £50 so its all good.
I pay $50.00 USD a month.
$55 if late and $58 if I go in store to pay. {$3 service fee -_____-''}
