Thread: How much do you spend

How much do you spend each month on your mobile phone?

I have an Orange, Pay as You Go phone. I top up by ten pounds, monthly, or thereabouts. Sometimes less often.

The phone itself is a Motorola something or other.

My bill (contract) is usually around £26. I have 100 free minutes of talk time to any phone and 100 free texts. I usually use just about the bundle amount so get the most out of it.

I'm on O2 pay as you go, spend about £10 a month, and get 60 free minutes and 200 texts free. The phone itself is a nokia.

Are you looking for a better deal, NL?

I am on PAYG, with orange and top up by £10 every 6-7 weeks or so.

I'm on contract, have 300 texts and 300 minutes a month which rolls over if unused so I generally have 600 of each tbh. I am paying £25 a month, which goes down to £20 if I don't have a new phone after 12 months, else I can have a free upgrade and stay at £25.

edited to add I'm with Virgin Mobile.

I'm paying too much!!!

Orange PAYG - £10 top up about every 6 months (how sad and friendless am I?!?!?)

Hubby has a contract - £15 a month, with 500 mins talktime. We never manage to use them all, and personally I think he is daft having it - it's a wast of £15 - BUT he wanted a new phone with a better camera (WHY??) AND it means he phones my during the day for a chat, to use his minutes, which is quite sweet!!

I have a T Mobile PAYG, and top up about £5 a month, sometimes more depending on how much I text.

Much more than all of you! It's our single biggest expenditure. Mind you nearly all of it gets covered by DH's work stuff as he factors in the cost to what he charges. It would be next to impossible for him to do what he does without the mobile though as most of it is tech support over the phone and he gets calls at all times of the day so he needs to always be available.

We don't use the land line at all though having said that, only my mum calls us on it, so we don't have a bill to pay on that.

Actually thinking about it - one month we got a mobile bill for £300. DH was working for a client who needed walking through everything and then kept breaking stuff - and he was basically on the phone all day everyday for a week. The client paid the entire bill as his business would have gone down without DH, he runs an internet store, and he would still have paid more for anyone else who wasn't as good.

All that money on mobiles though...I hate thinking about it!
