Worth checking if your phone contract is up 11:32 - Oct 22 with 1493 viewsBrixtonBlue

and you're now paying more than you need to. I realised mine was, after a mate suggested I check. Just rang my provider saying I want a better deal or I'm off, they asked what I'd seen, and then based on that made me an offer.

I was on 1GB a month, unlimited texts (not sure about calls) for £29.90 a month. Now they've doubled my data to 2GB a month, unlimited texts and calls, for £8 a month!

What a difference for just one quick phone call.

One of my sons has a Tesco Mobile contract and they were very upfront about how much of the monthly fee was effectively purchase of the phone and how much was calls etc. They also automatically reduced the contract price once the purchase part of the fee was complete after 18 months.

This is how it should be.

Amazing. Although I have no need for that much data.

I'm sure it has, but I'm also sure there are people who just pay their monthly amount by direct debit and don't even realise they've gone over, so I thought it was worth highlighting.

I'm concerned if people don't do this already...…….

If you aren't paying for a phone as part of the payment and aren't using ridiculous amounts of data, you should get a monthly charge of under £15.

Also don't accept the prices on the website. They have their "standard" prices but if you ring them they can add/reduce things and adjust the price. Also if you are a loyal customer they do give you discounts.

Absolutely. But to your first sentence... when it's something that's just deducted automatically each month, it's easy to forget about and miss when you've gone past the end point (particularly if you're on a contract you started two years ago).

Work seem to have forgotten that they pay mine, so I'm not risking checking anything

I agree. People do forget. I would just hope you would have a rough idea when things have run out etc. I'm guessing the phone companies don't remind anyone...…

Just the same about checking energy bills, insurances, mortgages when they run out etc, though most of those would remind you!

You love to have a little dig whenever you see my name don't you? Even when I'm trying to help people out. Must be a very dull life you lead.

I’ve spent most of my day in a 5 hour risk workshop, so a rather astute observation at the end there as far as today goes!
