Stay away from o2’s cheapest online tariffs - they’re really poor value.

Take for example o2’s Sony Ericsson K850i phone that they’re pushing so heavily at the moment - their cheapest 12 month tariff, the Online 25 is £25 a month with a phone cost of £129.99, total cost for the term £429.99. Step up one to their Online 30 tariff, £30 a month with a phone cost of £59.99 has a total cost of £419.99, a tenner cheaper than Online 25 with 150 minutes and 200 texts a month extra - bargain!

Moral of the story - use the MobilePhoneChecker for your mobile phone choice so that you don’t have to go through the pain of picking a rubbish deal!
