Faggot Value is HIGH
i just bought a mobile :(
it's like a little bit of me died.
I'd say it was my self respect but that went aaaaaaaaaaaaages ago.
on a lighter note at least im not faggy enough to buy their "insurance policy" which would cost me ~ £110/year

That's probably the most hilarious thing about mobile phones. The cost of insuring them is about the same as buying a new one. Who on earth insures their phone?

I don't, but it's worth it if you're paying the fee monthly and are likely to lose your phone more often than once a year.

In the old days, a couple of friends made much money of insuring moblies and losing them, beacause the shops had these stupid insurances. Like, "pay £2 a month and no matter why your mobile is destroyed, we give you a new one for free! " insurances that gave you brand new telephones, and you could (if you were smart) fix the old ones easy enough. Take out a part, say your cell does not work, and get a new one and the old one (In some shops you could ask for the old one back), and voila! Two cells. Sell, repeat, profit!
It's not possible anymore. I think they figured it out.

I don't pay for itemised billing because its not necessary. They should have asked you if you wanted it.

Re: Faggot Value is HIGH
I've lost my phone once. When I was mugged. People who lose their phones more than once a year deserve to pay £110 a year.

I'm pretty sure my phone cost more than £110 though. Although I lose stuff all the time anyway.

Why would you buy a phone which costs £110? Especially if you include free credit etc.

Re: Faggot Value is HIGH
What do you use it for though? Obviously buying a phone which costs 500 euro as opposed to a 100 euro is bad business sense if the extra features you're paying for you don't use.

Well I use the camera phone stuff a reasonable amount, the bluetooth stuff quite a bit, and I find the internet connectivity stuff useful (the Transport For London site via WAP is a god-send when I'm trying to get places). Undoubtedly I'm not using it to it's full potential but that doesn't really bother me.

Is it £1.50 for the entire year?
If so i dont mind that at all.
And yes i did go for Vodaphone* (please dont tell me i did something INCREDIBLY stupid ... id heard vodaphone/orange were the best ones to go for)
*
12 month contract 200 anytime xnet (no texts) £30/month
First 9 months 1/2 price
First 3 months double time (i think)
It was by far the best deal

Re: Faggot Value is HIGH
I'm with O2 online, and while their customer support is shit (and in India) their deals are indeed good.
The insurance isn't bad either, it's £5/month for Gold cover which covers you for all sorts of things including loss, damage, theft of phone or accessories, unattended theft of phone or accessories (so you're even covered if you leave it in a bar and someone nicks it), cover for up to £1000 of unauthorized calls, etc etc.
And there's no minimum lockin time for the insurance so I just add it to my contract whenever I need it (eg. going abroad on holiday) then cancel it when I'm done.

Re: Faggot Value is HIGH
with orange i pay not a penny for itemised billing, and **** all that gold customer stuff fs, insurance should only cost £60 a year anyway (£5 a month) so why yours would cost £110 i have no idea :/ unless the shop was trying to rip you off

Re: Faggot Value is HIGH
The £110 insurance policy should be for more than a year. If your paying that much in Dixons/The Link it will be a 4 year plan.
(With respect to contract phones, not PAYG...) When you buy a new phone, the cost of the phone is very heavily subsidised by the tel-co you are buying it for (eg Orange, Voda etc). If you then lose your phone, and want to re-buy it, you can't just walk back in to the shop and get another one for free (as a lot are now), or the low price you probably paid for it. You would get anally raped for the full manufacturer retail price. The Nokia 6230 retails for in excess of £230 without subsidy. (I can't get the exact value any more, perhaps some mobile phone shop work type can).
That said, I would still never insure a phone. I've had many, and never lost or broken one. Cheaper in the long run just to get a new one.

It was £2.07 PER WEEK for the insurance.
That works out at about £110 a year.
Considering that my contract is £18/month (+£1.50 for itemised billing :frown:) i wasnt really interested.

Re: Faggot Value is HIGH
Well I'm happy for you Dace.
It seems you got a very good deal although I'm not quite sure why Vodafone has charged you £1.50 for itemised billing (who has itemised billing with their mobile phone contracts anyway?!?!?). I just did a contract yesterday for someone on Vodafone 200mins and itemised billing was free (he took the Sony Ericsson s700i).
Also, I find insurance policies quite a bit of a rip-off.

Re: Faggot Value is HIGH
Looking at the deal they've given you, you've done alright out of it.
Take it that was from a Phones4u type place because thats not one I can manage, and its £1.50 a month sorry, just go and see the guy and say 'Oi, ****, I didnt want itemised billing, take it off, take it all off'
