[Gary]

Also this maybe of interest http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/554527/t-mobile-upgrade-offer-300-minutes-

2 year contract, ouch, what ever happened to 12mths 

[Glenn]

Most now seem to be 18 or 24 months sadly Gary

[David]

The contract which has jut ran out was 18 months.....the length of the contract isn't really an issue for me

I know, its a long time Glenn, but saves the operators shelling out for new phones every year I guess

I dont like being in anycontract for over a year if I can help it David, technology changes so fast, and after two years your phone could be half dead, I think the Sim only contracts are a better Idea tbh, and you get a phone elsewhere. The savings can make up for the cost of the phone outlay as well.

[David]

True Gary but the mobile phone to me has become another thing that I have just got used to and I am either to lazy to go into the details with myself and just sign or just think of it as a phone,which to my shame I use very seldom and I am no longer in love with the things they do...I don't think I have used my current phone to its maximum potential.....There are worst contracts I have signed in life......


Like the one in The Registrars office 

If only I could upgrade this

If you use it so rarely get a one month roll over Sim only contract, cheaper bcause you don't get a new phone, if you are happy with yours, and you get more for less cash as they don't provide a handset. You would save money and if you hardly ever use it, why have a 24mth contact with loads of minutes you don't use 

[David]

That is one issue Gary this current phone I hate..touch screen..drives me nuts.go online and its rubbish gets though batteries faster than a digital camera...I really have to get shot of this thing...

I have forgotten what a roll over is 

[Glenn]

http://www.simonlycontracts.co.uk/ has a few

[David]

Looking at these Glenn...there is not a great deal of difference is there ? when you spread the cos over the year ?but no phone

That's a great link, Glenn.  

[Glenn]

  It should be useful for some.

[David]

Meaning !!!? 

[Glenn]

Some could find the link useful. 

[David]

  I am my own worst enemy Glenn... Well apart from the rest of the population

O2 do one that gives for £25 a month that with a phone costs £35 a month, that's a saving of £120 a year if you like your phone, phones operating on 1800mhz like T mobile and Orange use battery faster than O2 or Vodafone that operate on 900mhz. The higher frequency uses more power, signal quality also effects battery, a bad signal will mean it drains faster, so does having 3G set to on if you don't get a 3G signal of if you don't use it, what phone is it you have David?

[Simon]

phones operating on 1900mhz like T mobile and Orange use battery faster than O2 or Vodafone that operate on 900mhz.

Wow, I never knew that.  So, changing to O2 or Voda could increase your battery life? 

[David]

My current phone is the LG Vewty Gary and typical of me I didn't realise that the 3G signal could be turned off

That looks more like a camera than a phone, David!

The camera is brilliant on this phone Simon in fact its the best feature imo.

[Gary]

Yes, also you get better penetration (dont say it   ) through walls with the lower frequency, its like bass and treble Simon, you here Bass through walls but not treble, same with radio waves, 900mhz penetrates deeper than 1800mhz

This current battery is one of these Gary and it still lasts a day if I am lucky...I thought I had cooked the thing but not sure you can leave them on charge too long ?

I cant resist it Gary...Deeper penetration is what is always on the top of peoples lists
