Good Points
The tariff gives you a set amount of calling credit which can be used across calls, text and picture messaging, i.e., you dont have set bundles of just text or just calls - the credit can be used for anything!!

Bad Points
None that I can think of, maybe the credit could be used for data, i.e., accessing the net on your phone!

General Comments
I have been on the flext 35 (18month) contract. It was originally £35 per month which has been reduced to £30 per month and for that I get £180 of credit to use, which I never do as I usually have credit left over, the credit doesn't roll over to the next month, it's usually a case of use it or loose it, but I think that is the case with most telephone companies now-a-days.

I love the fact I am not restricted in the amount of calls or texts I use as the credit is just used as you go. The other benefit from this is even if you did use all your allowance, you would still be able to use your phone and be billed extra for the extra usage. This has only happened to me once as I had really hammered my phone over the Christmas and New Year period, and I think my extra usage had only cost me about £2.38 extra.



There is a flext 35 (12 month contract) but you don't get as much allowance £120 per month to use and the tariff is still £35.



For those of you who feel they may not use all that allowance, or those who feel it isn't enough there are other flext tariffs starting from the flext 20 right up to the flext 75, both on 12 or 18 month contracts however the 12 month contract stops at the flext 50. (got this info from the t-mob web site)



Word of advice if getting a new contract, always get the lowest priced tariff that you think will work for you, becasue one of the things mobile companies will have a policy that they won't let you downgrade your tariff to a lower cost one, but they will let you go up a tariff, this is so they can make back the money they have spent giving you a free phone, so just remember it's easier to go up a tariff but much harder to come down!!
