Best answers:

• No option for don't have one.
• Don't see how the poll distinguishes between someone who paid Ј29 towards say an iPhone 6 and Ј45 a month and someone who paid Ј310 for the phone and only Ј25 a month.
• Lowest range is too wide. Zero to Ј1 and a Ј1 to Ј5 options would be more useful.
• Myself and my wife received Ј60 back each when we complained to 3 that when we renewed our contract with a free phone iphone 5 we were actually paying for the phone in the price so not technocally free industry wide they said but were quick to offer goodwill gesture
• My 2-year contract with Three expired back in April - I decided that none of the upgrade options took my fancy, so I got Three to switch me to a SIM-only contract. My bill came down from Ј35/mo to Ј6.90/mo! As I mainly use it to receive calls and texts, and don't make much use of 3G data, I'm unlikely to go above that. Kept my iPhone 4S, as none of the upgrade offers took my fancy - I've gotten Three to unlock it, which they did for free. If and when I do replace it, I'll probably buy a nearly-new or used unlocked handset up-front, take out a new SIM-only contract, and get the 4S recycled.
• Ј17.99 for unlimted text, 500 minutes and 750 mb of data, tied until 2016 unfortunately, upgrade would cost me more than the phone
• My Ј10 top up for my PAYG mobile phone has lasted me over 5 years now! I hate using mobiles and very, very rarely use it. I take it with me for emergencies mainly!
  I think this poll has been very badly set up - it is not relevant to the many different types of mobile users!
• I hardly use my mobile, it's there just in case of an emergency while i'm out. So maybe about 10p a month.
• I think it's worth mentioning that some people, like myself, don't have a land line at home so I feel that I can justify paying slightly more for my mobile.
  I think people not having a land line is becoming increasingly popular. I know quite a lot of people that have decided to get rid of their land line because they never use it, or only ever get sales calls through to it - maybe a topic for a future poll?
• Well I'm on the infamous One Plan that Three are in the process of ditching all their customers from.
  Looks like I'm going to be paying a lot more now. The writing was on the wall when they stopped offering it with phones in March.
  It allowed me to be able to afford a mobile and have broadband at home as I am on ESA which I would not have been able to do otherwise.
  As my health makes it impossible to have BB installed and to leave of the house most days it looks like I'll have no BB and an even more miserable existence.
  Sorry to rant a bit but an anxiety disorder has not been helped by this news.
  I am not in the group who say Three can't do it, I recognise they are within their legal right just highly inconvenient for myself :/
• I wonder what these big spenders get for their money - do they use anywhere near their paid for minutes, would they be better off, on pay as you go.
• I pay 7.70 per month for plenty of mins/txts/data and new phone included. So why pay more? I dont get why people have to pay 30+ quid a month for roughly the same just because they have to have an iphone / Galaxy. My smartphone does all the same basic jobs - i.e. does calls, texts, has a camera and can browse the internet.
  Always annoys me that we talk about people having no disposable income when they blow their money unnecessarily (Sky is another good example!)
• I voted the Ј50+ but actually my airtime bill is Ј28 a month for unlimited calls, texts and 8gb data. The other Ј25 is for the phone.
