Author I have a phone - but need a contract
Bob MacBob

2007-03-23, 4:33 am

Hi all,

I won a Sony Ericsson K800i in a competition last year and just bought a
PAYG sim for it. But now I want to use all it's functionality and am
considering a contract.

Is it possible to get a contract without a phone and if so, what are any
recommendations?

Cheers,

Bob

SIM only tarrifs are terrible value. Don't do it.

Get a free handset (K750i is a good choice) with free line rental by
cashback via here:

When you get the phone, take out the sim and put it in your k800i. You'll
get a load of minutes and texts free each month.
Sell the new phone on eBay (about £90) or keep it as a spare or stick your
PAYG SIM in it and give it to your wife/kids.

Even if you miss a cashback claim or two (though you shouldn't if you're
careful) this route represents a massive cost saving over a £20 or £25 pm
SIM only deal.

Yes, lots of SIM-only deals available with no contract to sign:

The virgin sim only contracts are worth a look. They are a fiver cheaper
than the standard tariffs with the free phone. You might be better getting a
normal contract and selling the phone, as you could normally sell it for
more than the £60 you are saving in a year by going sim only.

T-Mobile do a SIM only contract for £7.50 / month with only 1 month
notice of cancellation required.

Great deal if you use GPRS / 3G, which is capped to £1 / day.
