Written on 3/21/2010 02:08:00 PM by poison_ivy

Okay, so I’ve already mentioned that the Nokia X6 is available on contract with the 4 major UK Networks: Orange, O2, 3 and T-Mobile. So, you decided that you want this phone, and you don’t have any loyalty whatsoever with the networks and all you want is to get the best mobile contract deals for the Nokia X6. Well, here’s a comparison of all the Nokia X6 deals from the UK mobile carriers which offer the X6 on contract. I haven’t had a chance to check out other retailers though so if you find a cheaper deal, let me know so I can add it.

Cheapest and shortest contract deals

If you really don’t care about free minutes or text because either you’re just flexible with what is given to you or because you rarely use your monthly contract, then go for the lowest tariff at the shortest contract term. Here’s a table showing the lowest monthly cost, the total cost you have to pay for the phone plus any free text, minutes and any extras the mobile phone networks are willing to throw in.

Network	Contract Terms	Phone Cost	Monthly Tariff	Free Minutes	Free Text	Extras	TOTAL COST
O2	18	£50	£15	50	Unlimited		£320
Orange	12	£49.99	£28	200	300		£385.99
T-Mobile	18	£128	£15	100	100	Free Flexible Booster	£398
Three	18	£199.99	£15	75	Unlimited		£469.99

O2’s 18 month, £15 mobile contract for the Nokia X6 has the cheapest total cost for the duration of the contract and is best for avid texters as they offer unlimited text. 3 also offers unlimited text and may be a good option for those who want unlimited text but more free minutes to other networks. Orange offers the shortest contract with 12 month so if 6 months more is like a lifetime for you then go with Orange, they also offer the most free minutes to other networks. T-mobile offers the best bang for the buck because of the included Flexible Booster plan which allows you to choose unlimited text, unlimited T-Mobile to T-Mobile calls, unlimited Internet or Unlimited landline. You can change your choice every month depending on your needs so you can have unlimited text this month or unlimited internet the next.

Best plans that offer the Nokia X6 for free

If you don’t want to cough up any dough for the phone and you want it for free. Here’s a comparison of the mobile phone deals that offers the Nokia X6 for free at the lowest monthly tariff.

Network	Contract Terms	Phone Cost	Monthly Tariff	Free Minutes	Free Text	Extras	TOTAL COST
O2	18	Free	£20	100	Unlimited		£360
O2	18	Free	£30	300	Unlimited	Choose your Bolt On	£540
T-Mobile	24	Free	£25	300	300	Unlimited Internet with Flexible Booster	£600
Three	24	Free	£25	500	Unlimited	Unlimited Internet	£600
Orange Dolphin	24	Free	£25	600	Unlimited		£600
Orange Raccoon	24	Free	£25	600	500	Unlimited call to UK landline	£600

O2 offers the lowest monthly tariff wherein you can get the Nokia X6 for free. At £20 a month, they also offer the shortest contract term plus unlimited text would certainly make texters happy. For £10 more, not only will you get unlimited text but unlimited internet as well (if you choose it as your bolt on). O2 certainly has the lowest total cost because they can offer the X6 for free on 18 months. If you’re more of a talker, Orange offers the highest free minutes plus unlimited calls to UK landline on their Orange Raccoon. 3’s tariff would appeal to a person who’s a texter, talker and a web surfer too because they offer unlimited text, internet and 500 free minutes. But when you get down to it, again, it’s T-Mobile who offers the best bang for the buck because aside from offering unlimited internet, their plan still includes Flexible booster so you can choose between unlimited text, unlimited landline or other flexible booster offers.

Most Free Minutes for lowest monthly tariff

Network	Contract Terms	Phone Cost	Monthly Tariff	Free Minutes	Free Text	Extras	TOTAL COST
O2	18	Free	£60	Unlimited	Unlimited	Choose your Bolt on	£1080
Orange	24	Free	£35	1200	500	Unlimited Landline	£840
Three	18	Free	£42	1100	1100*	*1100 is allocated as free minutes or text	£756
T-Mobile	24	Free	£35	1200	500	Flexible Booster	£840

 


Three offers the lowest total cost for an allocation of 1100 minutes per month but this is under their mix and match plan which means the 1100 is allocated as either free minutes or text. O2 definitely offers the most minutes being unlimited but this is subject to their fair usage policy which means it has a cap. Orange offers the best deals for talkers because they offer 1200 free minutes plus unlimited anytime calls to UK landlines under their Raccoon plan. T-Mobile also offers 1200 free minutes at the same monthly tariff and you can also get unlimited landline because of their Flexible booster which you can change per month to either unlimited text or unlimited internet, or other flexible booster offers.

Lowest monthly tariff with unlimited text offers

Network	Contract Terms	Phone Cost	Monthly Tariff	Free Minutes	Free Text	Extras	TOTAL COST
O2	24	£50	£10	50	Unlimited		£290
T-Mobile	24	£128	£10	100	100	Unlimited Text with Free Flexible Booster	£368
Three	18	£199.99	£15	75	Unlimited		£469.99
Orange	24	£49.99	£20	400	Unlimited		£480

 


For those who don’t care about using their Nokia X6 to make calls and just want to text away on their X6, O2 definitely offers the best deal plus the lowest total cost. In fact, the total cost for O2 on their £10 tariff for 24 months is lower than the Nokia X6’s unlocked price by £9, definitely the best value for texters. T-Mobile offers the most Flexibility with their Flexible Booster and 3 offers the shortest contract term for texters. Orange offers the most minutes with unlimited text plans.

Conclusion

So there it is: the best deals for the Nokia X6 on the four mobile carriers. Oh, the Orange prices I’ve quoted are their online price which means it’s £5 less than when you go to the Orange shop. Whether you’re a texter, talkers or a web surfer or a combination of the three, I’m sure you can find the right mobile contract for you.
