Ever wonder if they actually make money?
Today I rang up to get my PAC code so I can move onto T-Mobile Flext tariffs, my O2 contract ends on 31st August. The plan was to lower tariff, port my number & then pay off the line rental
They offered me £10 line rental for 150 mins & 200 texts PLUS a free phone. Mentioned ones like the W810 etc
So thats £10 x 12 = £120
£120 for a phone & years worth of service? Plus they said I can upgrade after 9 months so possibly only £90
How on earth do they make money 
I need to use it more than that though so I looked at other tariffs & there were lots of stupid ones available to me all with a phone & early upgrade after 9 months. She even mentioned the N80 to me which is apparently going to be a fairly expensive phone! That was on a £15 12 month tariff!
I've already got my Flext contract & I genuinely wanted to cancel it when I rang up but I don't know if I've changed my mind now 
My Flext one works out at £17.50 a month & this would be £15 a month. My current O2 line rental is £45 
Don't know what to do
