Too Good To Be True ?

From Cardiff, 2 posts

Hi ive been thinking of buying a 3g mobile from this site as the tariff is really good much cheaper than my current deal and it gives me a free phone. The tariff is something like 750 free minutes to any network at any time and 50 ( i think ) texts a month for just £35p/m . Is this to good to be true ? and has anybody got the phones that they offer as i was wondering how you get on with them.

The site is :

Go to www.o2.co.uk

They have a lot of free phones. With a tariff that is £25 a month, you get 750 free minutes and 500 texts a month! check it out, plus you get a any camera phone for free with 125 free mms messages.

yeah the problem is the 750 min on o2 tariff are just to 02 mobiles and landliness and are off peak where the 3 ones offer 750 to any mobile or landline and are peak as well as off peak. But thanks for responding .

DONT DO IT!!!



Signing up to 3 was the worst (and i seriously mean worst) decision i ever made with mobile phones. The service is truly awful, the phones (i have the NEC 610 i think) is buggy heavy and has a battery life between 6 and 15 hours (thats standby time), oh, and the coverage is iffy.



Not only that but 3g is not only a total waste of time, but it is also extremely patchy, and exceedingly slow.



And as far as support goes, dont even go there - ive been waiting over a WEEK just for a new simcard (something Orange do next day)



To put it one way, ive gone back to using my old phone - unfortunately im on contract with them and am stuck with the bill for a while, but a small price to pay to not want to destroy my phone every time it does something like drop a call etc...
