Some background. I have been with O2 since it was BT, a long time ago (might give an idea of my age, yes slightly senior). I have always been on PAYg because I didn't feel it was worth it to go on contract in those days as I only ever used it as a "emergency phone" when out and about and £10 would last me a long time! Now my grandson has passed on his iphone4s and I have arranged a new SIM card. I know how to use it as I have an ipad.
What I want to know in simple terms is, is it worth going on a £9 a month 12 month contract which O2 have just offered me, giving 100mb 100 minutes and unlimited text. (If I ask my grandson he just talks technical, too much for me) and he is on contract which his parents pay for. The only thing I use really is text, the odd phone call and occasional internet, in fact most of the time wifi is off, just on for updates etc. I usually top as O2 keep telling me to get my text 500 free uk text and 500mb web allowance or I will be charged standard rate. I did have a couple of occasions when they contacted me that I had to pay £1 because I had used my allowance - no not why!
Am I being a bit thick about the best way to go, no doubt someone will put me straight. Thank you for any help given and sorry it's so long.
