Well, I went to the Car phone wh*re house & spoke to a chappie. I said I want a PAYG phone, I already have a phone so I just need a card & could I keep my number - here's my PAC-Man?

The bloke that served me had a pin stripe suit & could have been a second hand car sales man. I came out of the shop with an Orange contract & a new phone (in pink, must've thought I was Hovi5).

It's not as bad a deal as it sounds. Honest.

For £30 a month I get 200 free calls (or is that minutes?) to any provider, 75 free texts, 50 minutes (or is that calls) to land lines.

BUT, every 3 months, if I send a piece of paper to the Carphone wh*re house, I get £87 back. For the first 9 months of my 12 month contract - but I don't think I need to do the full 12 months. AND this way I keep my number (MAJOR issues since beginning of Decwith EasyMobile & Fresh mobile).

So for 9 months I pay £1 a month. Then £30, so grand total is about £100, which is about the amount I spent last year. 267 calls from March to beginning Dec & 900 text messages, no prizes for guesing the most dialled/texted numbers belonged to a pretty girl.

And the phone will do as a spare - or one for my bike as the P900i is a bit bulky.

So Result, probably.

But...why do I feel that I'm missing something & that I'm gonna get stung big time???
