Just wondering.

I got my contract just as touch screen phones and the original iPhone were coming out, nearly 2 years ago (in Novembver) but decided to get a Sony Ericsson W595 which has served me well but in the last couple of months has seriously got me wanting a new phone desperatly.

Just worked out too that if I pick a 12 month contract and purchase the handset seperately, then I will save over £100 anyway and get what I want out of the deal. Woo.

I have a contract, but I didn't want to take a cell phone.

Talk 500 min, send 100 (or something) text messages and there is some data too..a little over 20?/month.

I pay only 1?/day on Saturdays and Sundays, if I call to other same provider's cell phones.

HTC Hero, Contract, 36 Months (I'm Canadian with Telus).

Exactly the same here.

The de facto standard in Canada is 3 year contracts, and that's what I have. As a result, I got my Hero for $49.

I pay $65/mo for 150 local minutes, 100 long distance minutes (because anything outside your city is considered long distance here), 500MB of data, unlimited text messaging, Caller ID and Voicemail.

That's what I also got, 36 months here stuck with a voice & data plan with Fido. We Canadians apparently like to get buttraped with mobile contracts...

I have 200 daytime min + unlimited nights/we + call/name display + voice mail + 2500 outgoing SMS + 1GB data w/ tethering for $47 + tax. It's good enough for me.

other: I had a 1 year contract but it's been over now for over a year, so it's just monthly.It's exactly the same except I can drop them whenever I want

what contract is that? I'm paying 74 after tax for basically the same except no data limit (I don't think I've ever gone over 1 gig anyways though)

It's a loyalty retention plan, and I get $22/month of credit for the duration of the contract. It's just the blackberry curve that sucks in the plan :rofl: not being 3g makes it hard to even come close to the 1gb, so I have to change that phone when the new blackberrys are released, or if I find an unlocked HTC droid phone that's not freakin CDMA with "Rest of the World" HSDPA frequencies that I can buy...

One year contract with Verizon Wireless

$127.97 For Unlimited Minutes, Texting, and Data

127.97 seems expensive. Many other phone companies in the USA offer unlimited services for everything for 99 a month.

Unless your in another country that uses the $ and also has Verizon wireless

Palm Pre Plus on Verizon Wireless (2-year contract)

500 minutes, Unlimited M2M messaging + 500 text messages, Unlimited Data (previous Alltel subscriber), 3G Mobile Hotspot = $96/month

It's high, but it could be worse. Plus the phone only cost (at the time) $20

I think I got a pretty awesome deal with my phone to be honest. I paid ?540 for my iPhone 3GS 32GB in December 2009. It is Pay As You Go. Which means I don't have a contract and I can sell the phone or buy another one anytime I want. Included in that price is 1 years worth of free 3G use and free WiFi with O2 partners. That is worth ?120 by O2's pricing scheme (?10 a month).

Now obviously I have to pay for my own texts and calls but I'm not a heavy user of those I top up about ?10 a month and that does me fine for Calls and Texts. I mainly use data and when the 12 months of free data ends I can pay ?5 a month for 3G data only or ?10 for the 3G + WiFi Hotspot Access (I'll just go with the 3G). Contracts for an iPhone start at ?45 and you get pretty much the same stuff that I'm paying ?15 for and although I had to pay for the phone it still worked out like ?500 cheaper than any contract and that includes the ?10 I top up and the theoretical ?5 3G I'll pay after the first year of ownership for 3G.

T-Mobile Contract - £15 Month for 650 Minutes, Unlimited Texts and Unlimited Internet (1Gb Month Fair Use)

One of them non commitment 30 day recurring contracts, bought a PAYG Android phone and slipped the sim in it.

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
