Orange £30 tariff for £16.45/month

Dear All,
I have just taken this tariff out with Orange on a 24 month deal, with a free Samsung Tocco, and 8GB memory card.

got the £30 tariff with 500 mins and 100 texts.

I was shocked with the overall reduction, and didnt know if it would be of any use to anyone else.

1. £30 tariff reduced to £27 with 10% offer for teachers, nurses, police etc.
(only had to show a pay slip- but would have given it to anyone!)

2. £27 reduced to 21.45 with £100 buy back - handing in old moble.
(£100 buy back can go upto £150 if you choose a less expensive phone)

3. £21.45 reduced to £16.45 with 'Orange £5 off per month' for extension from 18 month to 24 months)

Im sure someone else can find something cheaper, but for offers on the high street - this one is not bad.
hope it helps

jh

    £100 buy back reduces to £27 - (100/24) = £22.83

    yeah, not bad.beerchug.gif.but 2 years is a very long time. I think i would rather pay a bit more for a shorter contract
