Ok.
Perhaps I will buy the N900 sim free and take advantage of the free data for 6 months.
I don't think i will have the patience to wait for provider offer with small contracts ...
Since the networks have started ramming 18 and 24 months contracts down our throats, I don't do contracts on principal anymore. Pre-pay (and 1 month SIM only) often has similar deals anyway.
I read up on this giffgaff (what a name) sim earlier.
I like that they are open to suggestions as to what rates data should be charged at at the end of these 6 months.(EU reg's come to mind).
This outfit does seem to be a venture with o2 who currently charge £2.94 per mb so anything below that would be good. Data bundles could be introduced though instead of a per mb charge.
You must be aware though that the 6 months is from today so if you get a giffgaff card in January say then there will only be 5 months remaining..... that is how I read it anyway.
