Harumph. Welcome to the row I had with 3 a few years ago. The new handset I wanted was FREE on every cheaper contract on all other network providers, however in order to upgrade to it on 3 they wanted my new contract to contain x number of video calling minutes for £per month, or I'd have to pay so much per month towards the handset. I never used video calling so why should I be forced to take video calling, or pay for a handset that was essentially "free" on other providers?



I know they're not "free", you do pay for the phone over the length of contract, but it was the principle.



I'm just into month 13 of my second 18 month contract with O2 as a result!

As long as there is cake for breakfast there is no decision problem.



Problem is, there is no cake amongst the mobile phones on a £12 a month plan.

For £12 a month, you'll be lucky to get dry shredded wheat.

200 mins of calls per month

200 texts /month

2gb of data /month



Thats about a years worth for me
