Like I said, it is pointless comparing this against other flat rate deals until you know the pricing of the BT's flat rate package. As it stands, show me where else an existing broadband customer can get a 50 min / 50 SMS 10MB contract, including a free Wm Qwerty smartphone, for a fiver a month [1]?

I'm all for reasoned discussion, but to knock this down for the sake of it, especially when you don't know the full pricing, is just stupid. I expect better objectivity from so called "pundits".

[1] plus the option to add up to 5 extra handests to the same contract at £5/m + £29.99 one off each.


so how much are s620s going for on ebay
for a £60 outlay(if its a 12month contract) it may be worth a punt

Anywhere between £90 - £100 including postage... some classed as 'refurbished' though, with possible slight marks etc.

Look as if there are some BT branded ones on there also... personally I think I would rather get one directly from BT though... especially if it was only going to cost me an extra £5 per month.

Device(s): Orange SPV E650

Plans
Base - 50 Minutes & 50 Texts - included in contracts
150 - 150 Minutes & 50 Texts - £10 per month
250 - 250 Minutes & 150 Texts - £15 per month
600 - 600 Minutes & 300 Tests - £30 per month
Additional users - £5 per month each
Additionally, you will receive 10 MB's of GPRS data each month. You can upgrade your monthly allowance to the Total Broadband Unlimited Data Bundle ("Fair Usage Policy" - 120MB per month) for a fee of £5 per month. If you exceed your inclusive allowance, you will be charged £1.50 per MB thereafter.

Currently I and my wife have mobiles from Orange as follows:

Phone 1 - 100 minutes, 100 texts & 30MB - £28 per month
Phone 2 - 175 minutes, 75 texts & 0MB - £25 per month
Total - 275 minutes, 175 texts & 30MB - £53 per month

With BT I already have Option 3, so (as I understand it) I could have the following:
Two Phones (£5 each), 600 minutes, 300 texts & 120MB - £45 per month
As extras, which I may or may not use, I would also get 500 BT Openzone minutes, unlimited BT FON minutes and access to my BB Talk number from any wireless network.

Perhaps I have got it wrong but I appear to be getting more than twice as much for £8 less – I can’t wait for my orange contracts to expire! smile.gif

At least that's a bit better but 120Mb is hardly 'Unlimited'.
It certainly makes sense for you compared to your Orange plan but that's more to do with O being so bad!

I agree entirely about Orange and the "unlimited" 120MB. I must admit though that I have never used more than 10MB on my current Orange contract - I anticipate that I will get nearer the 30MB mark over time. The fact that I already have Opt 3 with BT also makes it more attractive.

Are you 100% sure that you would actually get a second phone for your 'Additional User'?
If so that probably makes it (for you anyway) quite a good deal!

There is a one off charge of £29.99 for each phone - see Post 12 above from Metoo - "...option to add up to 5 extra handests to the same contract at £5/m + £29.99 one off each..”

That's still not too bad then isn't it... over a 12 month period each additional user is paying £89.99 for their phone, and is of course getting all the useage benefits etc.
