The last time I renewed my Vodafone UK contract I was negotiating for the best deal (already had a decent enough phone, only needed a couple of hundred minutes of cross-network minutes & SMSes). I got down to 14ukp per month with a new phone (SE W890i - nice non-smart phone).

If I'd kept my existing phone, it'd've dropped to 12ukp per month. However, over the lifetime of an 18 month contract, I took the new phone (and sold my old one on eBay for fifty quid)
