I didn't get a particular amazing deal looking at some of these..

unlim. texts,
500mb data
£79 for handset.
£27 a month @ o2
I'm planning on returning the handset next week (14 day cooling off period) and ordering through dial a phone instead.
Seems like the Orange Panther is the one for me:
600 mins,
unlim txts,
1gb data,
£59 for the handset and £28.50 a month.
Within the cooling off period I am allowed to use the phone aren't I? I don't want to unwrap the handset and realise I'm unable to return it.

I got:

All for £28-50 per month on orange and a free media link from phones4u the phone cost was £109.99 but after I placed the order I said I was going to cancel it so they refunded the £109.99... I saw some other guy did the same and they refunded his £109.99 as well, its worth the argument with P4U they always seem to refund the phone cost lol

Those with contracts from T-Mobile, did you get your phones from them directly or via another 3rd party on-line supplier (P4U, CPW, etc). In other words do T-Mobile have the phones in stock today?
I know they are crap in updating their website from 'coming soon' to being available. I know Orange have already updated theirs.
EDIT:
Just thought I'd quickly give them a call. They don't actually have them in stock at the time of calling (or possibly not showing on the systems) but they are able to take orders.

Tempted to change my current order to this (I'm on the £29 p/m Ultimate 500 with free headset).
This deal means if unlimited data is a thing of the past in 2 years (or expensive), I'll simply stick on £25 a month which is reasonable.
Seems like I'm going to be waiting ages for Affordable Mobiles to deliver anyway, cancelling and re-ordered will probably make no difference.
Trying to find out when they charge for the handset, if it's right now or on despatch. Dialaphone charged prior to despatch.

Price drop already

Hi all,
I noticed the price of the HTC One X has already dropped quite a lot from launch. Amazon and Expansys now have it for £449.99 that's a £40 saving from launch price of £489.99, unfortunately none of the high-street retailers have followed yet and with the issues I dont want to purchase one online with out seeing it first and with out an easy return route.

amazon returns are fine, i had my first one x from them, it was built badly, they sent me an instant replacement before i'd sent the first one back. the second one was as bad so returned the whole lot and had my money back.
the fact they were faulty is an issue, but the returns process was a breeze

Pre ordered from amazon a week before release for £489 on release day it dropped to £479 then to £469 a week later, now £449
Bit rude really isn't it.
Can confirm Amazon have a great returns policy, prepaid shipping and replacements sent out soon as the RMA is raised, they give you 30 days to return your item or they will charge you for both.

do you need to pay yourself to return the item or do they send some sort of pre-paid envelope?

You print out a return shipping label I believe. So it doesn't cost you anything.

Amazon only does this when you return an item for reasons other than unsatisfactory product quality. For example, if an item is DOA, they eat the return shipping. If you just changed your.mind or no longer want an item, the cost of shipping comes out of your refund.

Well I got mine from three for £449 when it first came out, most ships just inflated the price when it came out.

Only £449?In my country the only way i could get my hands on it was from Orange.The base price(without any contract or points) is 860 Euro.

Don't want to rub it but three UK also offers unlimited mobile broadband for £15 pay as you go (getting about 5mb speeds sometimes) this includes 300 minutes calls + 600 texts, this prices are unlike any other UK resellers or phone company's who always try to lock people in for 24 months contracts for a miserable 500mb or 1gb data plan & then charge a fortune if one goes over the plan.
The only down side is the coverage could be better but then we can't have it all.

You got robbed, rub it in, do me a favour.
I pay Orange 9 quid a month for 300 mins talk, unlimited text and 1gb data.. Yes £9pm

Yeah this is the downside at Orange here,the 2 year contract.And olso the offers are not so great,i mean,for 15 euro per month you only get 1 gb of net traffic witch isn't so great.I had luck that i've ordered the phone online and if you order the phone online you can only make a 1 year contract extension.For me it isn't that much of a deal because i am using Orange for more than 10 years and i won't change my network.

You forgot to say that of you top up once every 3 months its completely free to call or text other Giffgaff users, great for wives, girlfriends or kids. They also do a great referal program that gives £5 in top-up to both the person siging up and the referer. PM me or anyone else on GiffGaff for a link.

How much added cost?

Hello, I currently an on sprint but am wanting to move to t mobile. My family already has a family plan classic plan 1000 minutes plus unlimited msg ($20 add on) plus one of the phones with the $20 2GB data totaling a hundred a month. would it be better to add a lounge to their plan with the s3 or go individual? I never added a line before and the website was confusing me as it said that I have to pay for a plan with data totaling $95 for myself? Am I doing this wrong? I want to add a line plus 5GB data which is $35 and perhaps up the minutes to 2000
My life for Aiur

I just switched to the value plan. Unlimited everything including high speed data up to 5gigs, plus 20 a month for my phone, two lines , and I pay 160 a month. From what I understand you can add lines for 5 bucks a piece on the value plan.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

It might cost you a little more, I used to be on Sprint they good coverage but network is too slow, unless you are in a lte market, that being said you won't get as many minutes or data for the same price I pay like 85$ for one account and 500 minutes, unlimited text and 5Gb cap after that, if you buy the phone outright it would be cheaper tho, like 65 for the same amount of data and minutes, you could also add unlimited wifi minutes to your account, if I were in the market for a phone and good and cheaper data plan I would get the galaxy nexus for 350$ from the play store and tmobile 65$ price, your off contract and you have a worldwide phone as well

I'm on T-Mobile .. single line. Unlimited everything 78$ a month ... its the classic plan ... I think t mobile has the best pricing .. att and Verizon are way too overpriced and sprint internet is bad.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

The minutes of family plans are pooled. So if you choose 2000 minutes, it will be 2000 minutes for everybody. This means you will also have changed their original pricing plan (1000 minutes to 2000 minutes). This makes it a little more confusing. If you keep their original plan and just add yourself as the third family member it should be $5 plus $35 for 5gb of data (....I think).
Btw, Aiur is dead many years ago. Long live Sakura.

This must be a granfathered plan? I signed up for tmo a month ago and the closest classic plan they had to your pricing is the $84.99 classic plan but thats only 500 min, unlimited text, and 5gb data. Ended up buying the phone for retail at coscto and getting the $64.99 value plan which is also 500 min, unlimted text, and 5gb data.

T-mobile rate plan?

Curious what others are paying on T-mobile... I have 4 lines and I'm paying around $240 each month (with tax) And two lines have 2gb of 4g, and the other two only have 200mb of 4g (all unlimited, but throttled after initial 4g speed limit). I'm under contract until June 2013

I have the value family plan and I'm paying 115 (with tax) every month for 4 lines. 1 line has 5gb and the other 2 gb. The other 2 don't have data just talk and text. We have 1000 minutes we share which we have never gone over

Your company should know. You can't just use any. T-Mobile approves them and verifies them and makes sure you work where you say.

My exact setup..! LTE most of the time no more freaking contracts!

56 and some change. Unlimited everything and insurance with no cap on data/LTE. I don't tether too often unless I go on trips with the family, but I never had any problems with paying more.

Current bill averages ~103/month.
Simple Choice Plan: Unlimited Talk + Text = $50
Premium Handset Protection Bundle for Premier Devices = $11.99 (Dunno why I'm still paying for this.)
Unlimited Nationwide 4G = $20
Monthly Equipment Charge = $20
I also have one of those soon-to-be deprecated corporate discounts taking off approximately 10/month.
Coming from Sprint, I have to say I have had a very high quality experience with T-Mobile. I also use the hell out of their international data service in Canada. I could pay off my device and reduce my monthly by 20 bucks, but 0% financing is impossible to beat.

Yep, no point in paying off 0%.
We just moved from VZW. My wife was an employee once upon a time (got swept up when Frontier bought a bunch of the landline business). We still got the discount, but now we pay less than we did on VZW even with the discount. We are not heavy data users, so we just have the new family plans with 1 GB each LTE. I'm using my VZW S4 (everything works...mostly Band 4 LTE around here so I am good to go). She got a new iBend 6 , mostly for the better keyboard case options once the accessories get rolling (she is coming from a Droid 4). We pay $80 for the service.
(About that 1 GB: we have guest wifi at work and I use OpenVPN. There just is not that much time that I am away from wifi, and when I am, I'm busy doing something, not dorking around on my phone. I'm a middle aged dad...no music streaming, watch movies on a real TV with real surround sound, and play games where God intended: on a PC.)
