Mike C Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 80+% of ppl who have mobile phones 2day (me included) wouldn't have 'em if it weren't for the "revolution" that PayG started There's no way I would EVER have even considered getting a mobile phone if it weren't for PayG u still go to the shop to get milk etc don't ya? hardly an inconvenience To me a contract is complicated and a recipe for disaster in the wrong hands, sooooo much simpler and more convenient to get credit whenever u want it and forget bout it when u don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85rob Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 oi i got a pay as you go leccy meter and pay as you go mobile some times it takes ages for the credit to transfere over to the fone, bloody useless i think a contract is on the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me a contract is complicated and a recipe for disaster in the wrong hands, sooooo much simpler and more convenient to get credit whenever u want it and forget bout it when u don't only a disaster for people with no self control. How could someone NOT control their phone usage? you use it when you need to speak to someone.....is it not that simple? how can PAYG be more convenient Mike? you have to go and top up, I do nothing, my bank pays the bill oh, and to boot, I get a new phone every year for nowt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk6 Si Ross Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 where'd ya put the 50p's in these Nokias anyway???!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I think it makes sense to not be "bound" in any way like u are with a contract. what i meant was it's hardly an inconveience to go to a shop to get credit, u can even ring em up or do it on the internet if u got a credit card or summat (i ain't, but i ain't that lazy anyway! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAYG is just a major worry to me.... with a contract, you can talk (if you need to) for ages without worrying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
