See i find the opposite, I used to be on vodafone and changed because i was spending so much on topping up but then switched to telecom and realised im texting almost 1000 txts a month (no idea how that is, hubby is horrified) so Im paying for 500 txts at .20c PLUS i make more phonecalls because i can and i dont notice till i get the bill at the end of the month PLUS i realised i spend on average $40 a month ringing hubby from my home phone so Ive switched back to vodafone, getting the best mates thing which means i can ring hubby and txt him as much as i want for $6 a month plus i got that free for 6 months and 2000 txts to vodafone people a month so i should save there aswell cos most of the people i knew who were on telecom have moved or switched aswell so wont be txting telecom as much. I was on telecom for 3 months and in that time averaged $100 at least a month just for my cellphone (dont tell hubby) not including what i was paying to ring hubby from home line so Im thinking if I give myself say $30 a month credit and when that goes to bad, have to wait till the following month I should in theory save myself at least $100 a month!]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 14:34:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=183661&title=want-a-cell-phone#183661 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=183512&title=want-a-cell-phone#183512 Author: jack_&_charli

i've always been with vodafone and so has DH but i would recommend going to telecom......now there's something i thought i would never say!
vodafone gives me great discounts on phones, my last one i got a $500 phone for $100, but they never give you free upgrades like telecom do]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 10:41:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=183512&title=want-a-cell-phone#183512 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=183494&title=want-a-cell-phone#183494 Author: mummy_becks

I'm on Telecom (its on our phone bill) and DH is on prepay. I switched from V Fone to telecom about 2 years ago now and the difference in the bill is amazing. I was paying $80 a month on Vodafone now $30 a month on Telecom (incl $10 txt). That phone is a great phone DH had one till it got pinched at work  ( I won it when I changed to Telecom with the Lions comp).]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 10:20:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=183494&title=want-a-cell-phone#183494 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=183377&title=want-a-cell-phone#183377 Author: MyMinis

I have both
I have Willie on Best Mates on my Vodafone phone which drives him nuts coz I can call him whenever I like while he is at work I have it on prepay and don't use it to make calls at all.
And I have $10 text on my Telecom phone which is on OneBill and I also use it to make phone calls as I get an itemised bill each month for tax purposes.]]> Thu, 19 Jul 2007 20:46:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=183281&title=want-a-cell-phone#183281 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=183024&title=want-a-cell-phone#183024 Author: my2angels

I have just swapped back to vodafone but only cos hubby is on vodafone and we can do the best mates thing otherwise i would have stuck to telecom (bout to sell my phone if you want a cheap one!) If DH is on telecom then i would go with them. you can get free phones if you sign up to a 24 month contract.]]> Thu, 19 Jul 2007 14:27:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=183024&title=want-a-cell-phone#183024 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=182997&title=want-a-cell-phone#182997 Author: Leish

You can get Telecom OneBill - where it's included on the home phone bill but you don't have a "plan" as such, you only pay for what you use. DF is on a plan, and I am on OneBill - so we only pay for whatever calls I make plus the $10 TXT - we have recently done a huge change with our plans and it's saved us over $200 a month by working it this way. I prefer it because it means I am always able to ring someone if I need to without having to worry about making sure there's enough money on my phone. Not sure about the free phones thing though...]]> Thu, 19 Jul 2007 13:43:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=182984&title=want-a-cell-phone#182984 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=182972&title=want-a-cell-phone#182972 Author: busymum

DH has a cellphone with Telecom and it's about time I got one so we can do quick txts to each other instead of having to ring. But I'm not keen to pay a heap LOL. So I've been trying to work out whether it's worth talking to Telecom and Vodafone and seeing if either of them will offer me a free one It would have to be prepay (cause DH's is on our account), any suggestions on who to go with (I'm inclined to go with Telecom simply because DH/home phone is) and how to get a good deal? ]]> Thu, 19 Jul 2007 13:23:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9289&PID=182972&title=want-a-cell-phone#182972
