Well I've just spoken to a lovely scouse guy called Mark at O2 upgradings.

He's offered me a refurb 16gb 3GS iphone on the following

£39.99 for the phone
600 mins
500 txts
unlimited internet bolt on
unlimited txt bolt on
unlimited wi-fi bolt on (never heard of these before mind !)
18 month contract
£30 per month.

Well happy with that.

They've got no refurbs in at the mo, but he's gonna call me as soon as they come in.

Happy Days.

How on earth did you get that deal?! Can i have a script of what you said to the man?
I am desperate for an phone. Currently on Vodafone, contracts up and i'm just looking round for the best deal. Looks like o2 are the best in offering deals, shame i'm not on it. Don't suppose anyone knows if a relative who is on o2 rings up about getting a second contract they'll offer the same sort of deals or does it have to be a cancellation??

Hi EJ. I have no idea how I got that deal. I just rang up, was as nice as pie from the outset, and just said that I was ringing up to see if they could offer me a decent deal on the iphone. I just let him go through his shpeel first, which was on a brand new phone, which was gonna cost £90 @ £35 pm for 24 months, or £189 @35 pm for 18 months. I said that I didn't want to pay more than £30pm really, so would be happy with a refurb phone and that I would be prepared to pay a nominal amount for the phone itself. That's all I said....he went through the rest of the tariff without me having to ask for this or that....what I've put above is what he offered me. Couldn't quite believe it.

He's gonna ring me as soon as they come in.

I'll be happy with a refurb. Apparently, they are phones that people have got and sent back for one reason or another. O2 then send them back to Apple, who replace all the casings etc on them then send them back, so its practically as new !

Hope he rings tomorrow !! <fingers crossed smiley>

Will do, thanks for the tip off.

Still no 3GS's in stock, no idea when they'll be back in.

3Gs being offered, what's the real difference between the two. My contract doesn't expire until beginning of March, so I'm in no real rush.
