Im afraid you are wrong. They are allowed to call it "Unlimited", but always add a their 'Fair Usage' policy, restricting your monthly allowance to a certain amount. Always check the smallprint, and read the Terms&Conditions. Also, dont ever fully rely on what a sales rep in a store tells you. They can tell you what they want and you will end up the looser.

btw if you want to buy the phone- dont go with t mobile.. go with o2

700 mins messages and unlimited internet for 20 quid a month-AND ONLY 30 day contract NOT 12 MONTHS- o2 is much better than t mobile around london- but then it does depend on where you live i suppose..

On all sim-free contracts you have the choice between a long and a short term contract for certain available price ranges. For T-Mobile thats 12 months and 30 days (1 month). Since Im after a cheap Simonly contract I prefer going for 12months and getting 800min instead of 600 for a monthly contract option. Texts and Internet are unlimited.

I've just seen a similar deal for O2, but there was no notion whether it includes internet?

I live in London and am still on Vodaphone, will change soon though. The T-Mobile Website shows me outstanding coverage for London? I believe their coverage (same for Vodaphone a few years back) has improved vastly over the last few years, therefore as long as you live in a fairly urban environment you should be fine with most big names. No doubts there.

on the other hand you get the same with vodaphone for 30 a month but 24 month contract-- but if the think about it thats only paying 240 quid for a 440 quid phone..

That's exactly whats not an option for me. Going for a 2 YEAR contract? Jesus, a man needs a new toy from time to time

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADDITION: The cheaper the monthly rate the less impressive your monthly covered allowances will be. You will end up with a kick *** phone but a limited contract which doesnt allow you to fully enjoy your n900. And that for 2 years

Keep that in mind

Ive seen quite a few deals offering the handset for free on 20-35/month but only giving you something like 75min/monthly calls for instance.
