Contract at 17 years old?

[detroid]

Your best option is to hitch on with your parents. whats the big deal?

Could I get a few opinions on what you think the best option for me would be?

Thanks guys, and sorry for sounding like such a bitch

If you want a contract get one through your parents like I did a few years ago, or buy a handset (which you appear to be able to afford from what you've said) and get a cheap sim card that u top up for certain minutes/texts/data each month.

I called T-Mobile to see what they could do, and had a very pleasing reply!

The man said that if I take the contract out with my parents and in on of their names, then after the first direct debit payment I can change the details so that the following payments would be made from my own account. He also said that as soon as I turn 18 the whole contract could be transferred to me.

Result I think!

That sounds reasonable. Payment taken from your account while hitched to your parents main account and can be detached later

Sounds very reasonable! I didn't think this was possible, but it looks like if I can get the deal that I was offered the other day (fingers crossed!) then I'll be with T-Mobile soon

The guys 'n gals in the South Wales call centre are extremely helpful, they are all so friendly and don't try to force deals on you.
