I'm on benefits, have no savings in my bank account and now have two phone contracts. I was struggling to afford one contract but I was wanting the new iPhone 5s and the only way I could get my hands on one was to take out a second contract… Both contracts run until 2015.
Having the two contracts is £100 a month which is a lot of money when I only pick up £200 a fortnight in my benefits.
My daughter wants the iPhone 5s and has offered to have the contract for iPhone off me by my asking my network if I can have the contract put into my daughters name,& then i'd only have to pay for the one phone instead of two, so should I forget wanting an iPhone 5s as I can't even operate the thing apart from Talk & Text. I'm in my mid sixties so perhaps a bit old for iphones & i'm hopeless using Smartphones… I don't know how to use them properly and use all their features. My other contract isn't a smartphone, so should I see whether I can get the iPhone 5s contract changed over into my daughters name because by having two contracts in my situation it means we can't afford to eat and I've had ask for referral to a food bank but was declined because of been on job seekers allowance & that because I was wasteing my benefits on luxury items.
