    Hi,
    I've recently applied Martin's tips for hammering down my contract price with Orange. After a couple of chats with the suprisingly friendly staff at the retention/disconnection dept. I secured a deal I am pretty happy with. By declaring I was off to T-Mobile for their combi 30 deal I got Orange to beat it. I now have received a Nokia N82 with 600 anytime mins, unlimited texts & internet browsing for £25 a month on an 18 month contract. I have noticed that I have 7 days to trial the phone & if not happy can return it. Does anybody have any experience of whether calling their bluff at this point can knock any more off or gain extra services like text from abroad bundles or will they actually just say fine we will have the phone back and deal with the hassle.
    Don't want to be greedy but it would be great to get the cost down to £20 a month.

    Can anyone help?

    Hi

    That sounds like a pretty reasonable deal to me - I'd be more than happy with it anyway!

    One question - do they have the HTC Diamond in stock? I've called 3 times now in an attempt to get that phone as an upgrade, and each time have been told that it's not in stock, nor is it likely to be in until mid-August.

    I think I might give retentions another call to see if I can get me a deal like yours!
