Has anyone on orange managed to get a better deal on an iPhone 32 3GS as an upgrade? As opposed to the standard new customer prices?

Need an iPhone and am due an upgrade in two weeks with orange, just wondering whether to try, or whether it'll be a waste of time.

TIA.

In short, complete waste of time. I'm a top band customer of several years and they wouldn't even match the stabdard new customer deals that O2 and Vodfone offer by giving unlimted txts.

well im going with my offer of free 16bg 3gs iphone 18 month contract 28pcm 300 mins and unlimited texts and data ..i never use more than 100 minutes-i'm a texter so suits me...just waiting on them coming back in stock!!

That would suite me fine Louisa, I just wish Orange would do that. All I want is a standard contract from them with an unlimited text bundle like O2 and Voda offer and they just won't budge even though I'm a great customer for them.

Has anyone been on to O2 today to see if theres stock? From what I hear Tues/Wed are the days they appear on the system.
Im hoping I'll be able to get a 16gb 3gs refurb for free on the 100mins unltd text £30 tariff. Does anyone know if it will be possible to haggle the monthly cost down on this?

I have been offered a 16gig 3Gs refurb for free on an 18 month contract, 600 mins, unlimited texts and web for £35- is this a good deal?

Also, are there any issues with the refurbs? or would I find it the same as a new handset?

Hi r carling,
Was this today you were offered? Ive been told to keep trying until theres more in stock. Theres people who reckon they have had these for 30ppm on the 18 month deal you mentioned. I think its possible to get the 32gig 3gs for free on the £35 deal. This is pure speculation from the posts in this thread though as O2 wont start haggling with me until they have them in stock!

Last night O2 offered me a 16gb 3GS for £170 on the £25/mnth for 24 months.
Still a little more than Tesco but saved the hassle of moving over.
I cancelled the order this afternoon tho' as they have none in stock, might get one in 1-2 weeks despite telling me it would be dispatched same day!
Still a good deal but its the second time this week they have been less than truthful, retentions seem to be a law unto themselves!
I may aswell pay the larger upfront costs from tesco and get the better deal in the long run.

yeah i tried at 4pm today to see if any 3gs refurb in stock-nada
