I got a Blackberry on contract. Unlimited texts and internet, sooo much call time that I'd never be able to use it and a free mini laptop all for £30 a month!!
Thought about the iphone but its massive!!
i was using an Alcatel OT-800 unlocked which cost £50. and T mobile give you 6 months free internet usage with their sim. any calls are pay as you go.
i could get ino SH forums and a lot of other sites with it for 'free'.
just get your friends to join up and email each other rather than text and that's all free.
not a bad way round expensive mobile costs.
I found that you can't access everything, and it looks like its 20 years old on some phones. but you have to keep trying until you see it working. also it will work quite slowly.
the thing to do is buy an unlocked phone. it may well come with a sim and a top up fee. you also have to pay that. so you can easily use that just making a few calls.
but go to tmobile and buy a pay as you go sim. then the offer will come through on that payg sim. you have until august 31 to register. that gets youo 6 months internet usage for free.
don't register your phone or you will get locked and stuck with one service and possibly a tariff.
the only problem of keeping ahead of the deals is in having to regulalry change your number.
You could just get an iPod Touch - it's like an iPhone (without the phone or camera) or like a mini-iPad. It runs 99% of iPhone apps and has a very passable version of the Safari browser. The drawback is that you have to have a wi-fi connection or hotspot.
I'm using mine now. ;-)
Do not bother with anything else other than the I phone.
It is THE phone and is worth every penny of whatever the cost is.
I have just got the new I phone and it is brilliant....plenty of good second hand I phones out there on E Bay.
:D:D:D:D:D:D 
IF you can find it then you may be able to log in. Its worth an extended look as its a bit like a clit, find it once and you know where it is next time :lol:
