They are usually, yes, this just makes the 24m less of a better deal than on the higher priced contracts.

I'd guess it's to dissuade people and push them to higher prices or something.

Aren't the monthly tariffs typically the same too?

frick it, i am going to get it i think.

Currently I have almost £70 in my Orange Phone fun, and if i don't use it, it will get zeroed at the end of the year so i might as well put it towards a nice phone eh. Get the iPhone 4, sell my old 2G iPhone for £100 on the bay, already got £70 for my N95, that's 50% of the £500 needed for PAYG.

£250 from my own pocket for a new phone. Not that bad really.

That's the way i am justifying it !

...I don't know how it works on contract but on PAYG £10 top up = £1 fund... that's £700 worth of topping up

I know...erm.

20p a text to Australia....that's where 99.9999% of it went as I seldom make calls on it, and i get 1000 free text every month that i don't use up.

The problem is that if i get on contract, the £35 a month won't go towards the text abroad.

a PAYG Camel plan might be an idea, 15p per text to Australia

When you're spending that much on foreign texting, it could save you a couple of hundred quid.

I'd do that right now lol !

The Camel PAYG plan from Orange is actually brilliant if you call or text abroad a lot - it's cheaper than many PAYG systems are domestically.

You can call Australia for 5p a minute IIRC and text for 15p.

Either that, or pay Skype £3 per month for UNLIMITED landline calls to Australia, AND a UK based landline number which you can dial to.

i.e.

You dial a UK landline number
You input the number/choose from quick saves
It puts you through

I have the full world package for about £6/month and it is brilliant.
