Best Contract Deal in the UK for the HTC Desire

---

Hi, I'm looking for the best new contract deal for the HTC Desire in the UK.

Unlimited internet is an obvious must-have with a phone like this. Since all networks are roughly the same coverage in my area, I can choose the best value deal. I am personally looking for at least 200 minutes and 200 texts, but of course, I'm happy to have more than I'll use for a better value deal.

I will edit and add to these 3 categories as better contract deals become available.
Or if anyone finds a good deal and posts to this thread, I will add it to this list:

30gbp per month

300 anytime minutes

unlimited texts

unlimited web

3 months free insurance

18 month contract


FREE PHONE


via mobilephonesdirect.co.uk.

At mobiles.co.uk the £30 vodafone tarrif has been reduced to £25.

So:
Free Desire
600 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
Vodafone Passport

for £25

It would then cost an extra £5 ontop for internet. But this is still £5 cheaper than I currently pay for my G1 and it seems one of the few options where the desire is free.

i am definitely going for this one, as o2 probably wont have desire in 2-3weeks when my contract runs out, i ll have to move to vodafone which I dont mind

Has anyone used mobiles.co.uk? I've seen some pretty bad reviews

From what I've read, O2 is the only network that doesn't put a specific MB limit of "fair use" on it's unlimited data plans. Others have 500mb which is tiny. I've tethered my phone to my laptop and had over 15gb in a month before they sent me a polite message saying to go easy on the data.

Carephone warehouse web only deal:


30gbp / month

phone cost: 0
cross network minutes: 900
texts : 500
internet - unlimited

contract length - 2 years

Best Contract deal

What's the exactly link for this deal as the link you've provided seems to be a glorified search website?

Sounds like a T-mobile deal though.

It's here - http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/...09/p31043.aspx - about halfway down the list.
