had a few run ins with o2 but then they offered me an early upgrade and let me get a phone well above the spec they offered me for free so not too bad.

sounds like the a good deal you got there mate

Not bad with o2 as well, Gave me a free razr for keeping the wifes contract for 12 months more on a special tarriff of £12.95 per month + 1/2 price for 6 months ... She has a D500 so didn`t want an upgrade so they gave me the razr unlocked for PAYG !!!

For smashing your phone, most home insurance policies cover your property and would cover it ...

Fortunatly I have a company mobile now so no bills, but downside is that I get sent whatever mobile the cranky old woman in the office decides fits our needs.

Still, in my last job I was travelling abroad all the time and my average bill was £650 a month - that was personal contract claiming calls back becuase my boss said he could justify giving me a mobile!!! You can tell why I left with sense like that!!!
