I'm coming to the end of my contract on Orange (SPV C550, paying 35/mo), and I think I'm going to switch over to the M3100/Vario II.

I need to know what kind of deal I should be negotiating for when I'm talking to Orange/T-Mobile. (Of course with Orange I'll be talking to customer retention)

I think I'd use unlimited data, so I'll be going for that and minutes wise I need 300-400/mo + a few texts.

Thanks for any advice and info.

Flext + Web 'n Walk Plus/Max is probably the way to go then. Flext 25 will net you approximately 450mins, 900 texts or a combination of the two.

Web 'n Walk 'Plus' gives you 3GB of data a month, no VoIP and the 'Max' package gets you 10GB including VoIP (Skype, etc.).

I'm on Flext35 (900 mins/1800 texts) and Web 'n Walk Plus. It's great, but a bit more than your £35/mo at £47.50/mo.

Based on your numbers, Flext25 + Web 'n Walk would be £37.50/mo and give enough for your needs.

M1TNT, cheers for the info. Sorry don't know all the package names - does what you got include unlimited 3G data? Do you pay for the insurance or was it thrown in as part of the deal? And that's 20 for the M3100 right? Sounds good as my upgrade price for the phone is 49.99

Cheers
