o2 XDA Executive/Orange M5000 Best Price???

Anyone know the best price for this phone on contract? I dont want a contract over £25pm.

Best I've seen so far is:

500 Texts
100 Minutes, Any network, Any time

£25pm (With o2 Online)

I think that woud suit me, that amount of texts and minutes, but does anyone else know of a better deal? Not been in the phone market for a while now!

  • I think I've probably been done, but never mind.. it's a wonderful phone!

    It's cost me £250 for the handset upgrade, and I'm now on Orange Premier at £48.50 a month.

    I knew I wanted this package as it includes insurance on the phone among other things, 600 anytime/network minutes, 100 texts, and free 3G for three months.

    I could have had it for £199 via the website, but as they were out of stock and couldn't tell me when they'd have more I just went to the nearest Orange shop. I usually have nothing but praise for Orange, but I felt their staff on this occasion were less than enthusiastic. Maybe it was just the time of day, I don't know.

    Got one of these a couple of months ago when they came out... So this deal might not be the cheapest still (but I have checked quickly..)..

    Go through o2.co.uk as a student (link on here somewhere).

    124.99 for the phone, and your choice of tariff... I chose the cheapest which is 19 per month for 200 texts/50 on O2... Now I use it with a three sim card ;) (Three doesn't have the open 'net browsing tho BTW).

    They are cool for MSN, emails and IE on the go.

    HTH.

    Not sure if you're meaning me - but if you buy thru the student link you get it for £124.99. When I got it - it was actually £114.99....

    Not bad for an all-in-cost of £342.99. It was really the 200 texts/month that I wanted - cos was paying £10/month as a THREE-extra anyway!

    HTH.

    Well my missus is a student, so I could get it through her, but are any checks made? Because I would want it in my name, so it comes out of my bank each month instead. Have you got the link for students? ;) Worth saving £25!
