Help Me Choose a Phone Contract

Hi folks,

So my contract renewal is coming up in august, and it's time for a change. My last 3 phones were iPhones, however I'm selling my iPhone 4 as it's in fairly good nick so should be good for about £100

plus I find it laggy these days, and I will also not buy another iPhone as the IOS is getting too much like a dictatorship for my liking. In my opinion of course

The other reason is I pay £45 a month for unlimited web, texts and some mad amount of minutes, when my usage is bollocks all. I hate talking on the phone so never use many minutes, and I don't text a massive amount. I do MMS a bit (nothing ropey

) so would need a plan that includes that. As for Internet, I browse at work in my spare time, but the rest of the time I'm on wifi at home.

So really, I'm after a call plan that gives me a few minutes & texts, plus mms and data. As for the handset, I'm after something free that I can use for browsing the web, Facebook and watching YouTube. As for budget, £25 and under a month would be lovely

I'm really out of touch with phones these days so I'm really hoping one of you can help me out here, I'm not sure what phones are good anymore

Cheers,
Josh

i have just gone for this deal. but when i was on the phone to the operator i said i wanted unlimited data, so i got that for the same price, plus with the unlimited data tariff, i found out that they have to offer unlimited mins too.

so for £27 a month, i have unlimited mins and texts any network, plus unlimited data and a free tab 2 wifi.

Sounds pretty sweet, would probably sell the tab on though lol. What's the S3 like? My only experience of the Galaxy was the original one, I wasn't sure about it back then.

Do you have any preference on network? Or phone for that matter? Screen size? Do you mind a massive screen?

What postcode area are you in?

No preferences other than I don't want something that feels cheap and nasty! As for usage, just browsing the web & viewing Facebook etc. I use my phone for taking photos too come to think of it!

Postcode area? It's worth finding out what network is best in your stomping ground! I've made that mistake a few times before..

As well as currently.

It's annoying when all your mates have full bars, and you have none! Just cos of the network you chose without investigating.

I have a Galaxy S3, its an awesome phone and I love it.

Because the S4 is now available, some places are doing the S3 on contract for around £20 a month.
