How much do you pay on your phone contract?

[lawrawrrr]

In like march next year I'm looking at getting a new phone and/or contract but I am literally like shocked at how much they cost??

I used to pay £25 for a phone (iPhone 5S), 1GB data and unlimited everything; now I pay £8.99 for 5GB data and unlimited. I really hate the idea of paying SO MUCH extra a month for phone so I'm thinking of saving up to buy a phone outright (second hand) and sim only deal?

Thoughts?

[cammiee.]

I pay nothing, because my dad pays it for me ;) But yeah, mine costs a lot which is pretty stupid considering I only have 2gb of bloody data :(

I pay £10 per month, but it's on GiffGaff so it's not a contract. I bought my phone outright for around £180 (the best budget phone you could buy at the time). They keep changing the goody bags but for the £10 I get 500 minutes, unlimited texts and 3gb of data.

[Neversoft]

Same as Samantha. GiffGaff is the best.

I pay £10 a month - Sim Only contract with O2. I agree, I hate paying extra for a phone on top of a contract, so I buy the phone I want off set and just have a cheap contract.

Win Win really.

Sim only and paygo have quickly become muuuuch better options, I'm contracted for £13/m but could be getting the same things for a fiver with giffgaff tbh, not gonna stay on when the contract ends

£50 a month :'( 5gb date and unlimited everything else. Got the Samsung S7 Edge the day it was released.

£35 5gb and unlimited. Parents have paid for that one but this one (christmas) I've vowed that I will pay for the majority and the rest will be part of Christmas for me - I promised the current phone I have was the last one I get given to me and I'm happy I'm sticking to it!!!

Galaxy S8+ contract with Vodafone £12 with unlimited mins, texts and 30gb data. Should have been £48 a month

Previously I was on GiffGaff, but in May my phone broke and I wanted the new Samsung, ended up getting the cheapest contract at the time, which was £50 Per month on a 24month contract for unlimited texts, calls & internet data.

Bar Staff, But I also cover for the Arcade staff when needed.
£8.20 an hour, with 80p bonus for each hour we do.

Unfortunately, the working season hasn't been good to me this year, I couldn't afford to go on Holiday as we had too many bar staff, we usually lose a few so I'm suprised. :(

Gosh that sounds so much fun than being stuck in an office 5 times a week with just enough money to pay rent and bills! - though how annoying, I used to work in a bar and hours used to always go down when the company overhires :(

[lawrawrrr]

I'd hate working in a bar or retail im so glad I haven't had to do it :(

[mrwoooooooo]

£80 for the phone + £38 a month unlimited text/calls + 15gb 4g

[dbgtz]

you say that to me but not the people paying £50 a month lol what and you say that not even knowing what the phone is

Haha I've been paying around that for almost 6 years now. I've got used to that expense, just comes out every month.

[Sloths]

Don’t have a contract, just pay as you go but I do $19 a month (around £10) for 1GB data, unlimited texts and I think 300 mins (not sure as I don’t really use them). Data is annoyingly expensive and I used to have to get 2GB a month until my work finally got wifi (extra $10 for the extra 1GB on top of my $19)

[Lill-MeeDK]

I pay around £15,5 for unlimited data, call and text. Then i have 6gb data to use outside of Denmark...
I always buy my phone outright, else it will cost like £40 a month with limited data etc.

[Catchy]

£60 a month iphone 7 plus 128gb 20gb data unlimited calls and text

[iBlueBox]

£76 a month before discount, After discount like £50 so its all good.

[PrettyLoven]

I pay $50.00 USD a month.
$55 if late and $58 if I go in store to pay. {$3 service fee -_____-''}
