Depends on the operator.
Orange for example allows you to pay £10 per month that gives you 20hrs worth of Orange TV. This is separate to their data tariffs of which I pay £8 per month for 10MB.
Does that help?

Hey guys, I probably have a very good deal, but I just wanted your opinion on this before my 14 days is up.
I got my X1 as an upgrade with O2 in the UK, I paid £100 for the phone itself, then my line rental is £20 / month for 600 mins, 2000 texts and unlimited web, for 18 months. The tariff itself is very good but I am still not sure if the £100 is too much I have paid for the phone itself since I have agreed for a 18 months contract, I was sort of expecting a free phone... but then I had to pay £100 for my old SE W960i which i sadly lost a couple of months ago... And I realized the X1 is quite an expensive handset... what sort of deals do you guys have? Like how much you had to pay for your X1?
Thanks I am indeed having loads of fun with this new toy!
368€ from T-Mobile....
30€ from M1. Contract is on the high side at 60€ monthly (6000 mins, 300 SMS). 20month contract.
I got the handset free, £30 per month - 1000 texts, 600 minutes, unlimited data plan, 18 month contract. Vodafone UK
???
MY FRIEND .. HERE (Bolivia -Latin America) ... FOR A 100 USD PLAN ... YOU HAVE TO PAY 500 USD FOR THE PHONE ... SO .. YOU MADE A GREAT DEAL ... I pay 800 USD in USA for the phone unlock
I'm with O2 UK but through Carphone Warehouse, I told them i was leaving and requested my porting number at which point i was offered the phone for free along with unlimited txt's, calls and web access....all for the grand total of £30pm for 18 months
mhh very good deal !
I signed a 18 month contract with vodafone (uk) in November only a couple of days after the phone had been released.. 900 free minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited web, free phone for 50 pounds a month ..
turns out it is actually way too much .. unlimited texts is pretty cool but I hardly use half the minutes that I ve got .. they told me I ve the option of changing my price plan to something cheaper after 9months so I m probably gonna do that.

At those prices, I'm assuming you got it directly from O2 and not a reseller like CPW.
I got my X1 directly from O2 retentions on an 18 month contract for £24.50/month and a handset price of £97. That includes 600mins, 500txts doubled up to 1000 as it is an online account and unlimited web bolt-on. You've done okay yourself. I'm guessing you've been with O2 a year or two longer than me and built up 40% discount (I only built up 30%) as you seem to have a very similar deal to the one I got last Thursday.
One thing I would recommend though.... make sure you've got insurance for your phone! If your home insurance doesn't cover it, then contact O2 about having your handset covered. I think it is something like £7-£8 a month but covers accidental damage as well as lost or stolen and the excess is £25. I broke the screen on my old XDA Exec a couple of times and got a replacement within 2 working days each time.
I guess my deal is actually very good in the UK market then. Yes I got it directly from O2 retention. This is my 5th or 6th contract with O2 now, so I was told I am getting the absolute max discount I can get. I was trying to knock the price down for the phone to 50, but of course they wouldn't do it, unless I go onto the 45 / month plan which I would end up paying more in 18 months time...
They were gonna give me 21/month with 1000 text, I said no, switching to Orange (I made up a plan that I was being "offered" from Orange), then they said OK, they will match it, this is why I got 20 / month with 2000 texts. Not much different as 2000 texts is way too much... can't even do 500.
I was looking at my old records, I did get 15 off a month before (I have always been on the O2 35), but for some reasons, they didn't give it to me last year, it was because I wanted a 12 months contract, so an extra fiver a month or sth, but worth it, or I would have had to wait for another 6 months for the X1...
Zenith, I got my phone on the same day as you, the first day they said the phone is back in stock, been waiting since Dec last year... now it's out of stock again... lucky us!
27 pounds a month
I got mine at 27 pounds a month with 50 pounds handset price on an 18 month contract last november. Sadly after that I could not get a similar deal for my brother as it got out of stock the very same evening. Just today, I got another 27 pound deal for my brother, thats almosyt 2 months later.
I have been an o2 customer for 12 months and got a 40 percent discount through retention.
Dutch vodafone, 18 euro's a month + internet 9,50 euro.
Phone was free, bought it last week
Free X1i, 1000mins, 100 txts, unlimited data, free weekend calls, £25 per month. O2 UK upgrade.

Hi Guys, my deal was a shop purchase upgrading after two previous 18 month contracts with uk vodafone. Initially they offered the same deal but the handset was £35, but when I kicked up about being a 3-4 year vodafone customer with a £40 bill every month they worked their magic and gave it to me. Im guessing the fact that I've spent between £1500 - £2000 with them previously gave me a good deal

Hey, how long have you been with O2 and how much you pay roughly for your bills? If you don't mind me asking! Seems you have the best deal I have ever heard of. Are they still doing free weekend calls? Coz they won't give it back to me.
LOL ! I got mine for a US Grand (1000$ for those who don't know). Tax in. good deal, my friend xD.

Hi. Sorry for the delay! I've been with O2 since 1999. The deal I got was the same as my previous one.
apparently 02 uk have a new pay as
you go price plan that offers unlimited internet an texts for topping up
15pounds a month went into my local branch an they confirmed yes the internet is unlimited so just wandering if you guys know of any better pay as you go deal cause I am not really worried about calls as texts and internet do me good .
The £15 is an introductory price.
It'll jump to £30 for unlimited after that.
You'd be better off with Virgin - they do unlimited texts and web for £20.
I'm on 02 Simplicy £19.58 a month for free internet, 600 calls, 600 texts, 12 month contract.
I signed up through QuidCo (after hearing about it on here), which then gave me £100 cashback = my phone bill is = £140 a year = £12 a month.
Given that I was on Orange £40 a month, and just three months into an 18-month contract (and then cancelled my contract due to T+C changes), I'm very pleased.
(Then karma came in the shape of someone spilling beer on my phone, meaning whatever battery I try lasts just six hours...)
I think the QuidCo deal has ended but there might be a new one again.
not really

yes thanks I know the price will jump up but if u sign on to the deal before 1 october or something then u will get the 15£ tariff but if u sign after then u start paying 30 so at the moment it does make sense cause I hardly call I just
text and use the internet on my phone

Hmm.
I read it as the first month is £15 but after that it's £30.
I could've mis-read it though.

I was in a very similar position ie Orange contract etc.
I got out of the contract and am now on O2 Simplicity approx £20/month 600 mins 600 txt choice of free bolt on. I chose unlimited internet.
My contract is only a 30 day rolling contract though. I seem to remember that signing up on the web gave 1200 txt though. I don't text too much so am not bothered about this.
I'm very pleased, great value and can cancel with only 30 days notice when a new phone comes out that catches my eye.
Comparing SIMplicity plans to PAYG is perhaps a bit of a waste of time.
The PAYG plans are aimed at people who, for whatever reason, are unsuitable for contracts - be it an inadequate credit score or just a complete lack of seld-control leading to ridiculously high bills.
I am ordering my hd2 form o2 next week and just looked on there site to check its in stock and nosited that they have changed the packages they they will do and also put the phone up by £50
why not do what i did and order it through a 3rd party online. you wont have to pay £50 and your billed direct by o2 anyway.......
or get it on virgin, you get more for your money... they use the t-mobile network.

It's worth paying the extra on O2 though virgin/tmobile network is utterly useless compared to O2...
One bad thing about O2 though... their online stock monitoring means bugger-all... you have to call up to find out if they have stock... I ordered mine online and it took them 1 1/2 weeks to get it to me, despite it stating "in stock" on the website when I ordered and throughout the period I was waiting, when their phone staff were telling me it was out of stock with no projected arrival date...
Just check on the website... seems their plans have gone up in price by roughly 5 quid/month... yikes! I got 600 mins/1000 texts/unlimited data for 35/month with 100 for the phone... they're now claiming unlimited texts, but who uses more than 1000 a month?
Ouch! That is a big price rise! I got mine 600 Mins/100Texts/Unlimited Data for £35 with a free phone (upgrading)!
mms
Hi guys, kinda off topic but was wondering if any of you o2 uk users are able to use mms when flashing with a cooked rom...
I cant recieve them at all with cooked ROM, even after manualy inputting settings.
If you can send and recieve plz could I know what ROM u use

can i ask were did u order your from??
I just got mine for free on wednesday on o2. they price matched t mobile. it took me 2 visits to the shop and a call.....
30 a month 24 month contract 600 mins 500 texts. the day before they wanted 100 for the phone on same terms.
haggle em. its well worth it.
posting this from my hd2 now lol. it rocks!
igot mine on virgin £25 a month 500mins 3000 texts 1gb internet usage phone cost £79 and thats on a 18month contract thats £529 over the 18months the phone its self cost about £500 so its a good deal
What Gav said - I got mine from o2 price matched to T-mobile (i think) meant I got the phone for free on an upgrade - £35 a month for 600 mins, too many texts to use and unlimited interweb access.
yes i heard about this, because the are really low on stock in o2 for that phone, i hv ordered mine online 2 months ago and Im on 24 months, 25 pounds a month, 600 + 200 minutes,unlimited text and unlimited data with free phone, but I was upgrading so maybe it is dif than signing on new contract.

which is probably why the price increase, , ,, also to prime the market for a 'sale - price drop on hd2!' in a few months.

Hi.
get the phone sim-free on either the Orange or Vodafone network from zero cost, go here: mobiles.co.uk
With it being sim-free you can get latest ROM+updates from HTC directly. Besides really good offers on at the moment. Have got 3 HD2's from this company NO PROBLEMS with any of the three handsets.
O2 and Vodafone network are messing about with HD2 because of Apple pressure (iphone). Orange is also best network for HSPDA connection.
well... hearing this, I've got quite good upgrade deal dec. last year. £35 per month plus free web bolt on, 18 mths contract and hd2 for about 30 quid.
Virgin also here
£25 month
18 months
500 min
waay too many texts
and 1 gb internet
+ £79 for the phone
Best deal!
mines 24 months
800 mins
unlimted texts
unlimted virgin to virgin
1g of net
30 quid a month
and fone was free
Just upgraded to HD2 today with o2 and got 1200 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited data (web use) and free o2 to o2 calls for £40 per month on a 24 month contract and the free phone will be delivered Tuesday.
Was going to switch to T-Mobile if they could not give me a good deal as T-Mobile were offering 1200 mins, 500 texts, unlimited data, and an unlimited land-line calls bolt-on, on a 24 month contract with free phone for £35 per month, but unfortunately there coverage is not to good here where I live.
It seems we have all paid way different prices. Mine was £50 for the handset, and then 02 18 mth contract @ £35 a month, for 600mins, 500 text and unlimited data connection.
My turn...(upgrade deal)
O2 small business regular user 24mth contract
300 xnet mins
unltd O2 calls
10 unltd landlines
250 texts
unltd interwebby
free phone upgrade every 12 mths
free HD2
£27.38 mth+vat
This seems very cheap to me albeit with low mins and text (I dont use mins and text that much).
am I missing something here or is this a bargain?
http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/Brands/HTC/b509/n447/p27241.aspx
looks normal.
if you can, go with t-mobile business unlimited.
unlimited calls (LL + mob), texts, internet for £35 / month 24 month contract.
For a lite for user this is a bargain I would have thought, heavy users obviously not.
I called virgin, they have offerred 25/mon 500 mins unlimtd text mins unlimtd web - phone charge £50 - slightly better than the t-mob on mphonedirect
That first link is now £25 a month, 600 minutes etc., phone free...
Whic is good if you like contracts (but since they've all changed to 18/24 months I avoid them...)
Orange UK

I got a similar deal too, with the orange magic number.
Only worry I have is if 500MB of internet usage enough...
Do you know do they charge you if going over the allowance, or you just wont be able to go on internet until your allowance get renew?
that is a really good deal but I got a better one for a light user by calling T-Mobile direct
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5842800&postcount=107
I got t-mobile 18 months £35 with unlimited texts and web and free hd2 through buymobilephones.
£35 cashback but looks to be a pain to get as have to send off bills etc.
only gripe is that 3g coverage on t-mobile is rubbish compared to o2
