Thoughts on this early upgrade please

bamberbamboo

Evening all, just had '3' on the phone offering to upgrade my phone early a Nokia 7600 to a Nokia 6280 it would be a 12 month contract which would start when my current contract ends in March it would be

3 months @ £15.00
9 months @ £30.00
= 315.00
- 94.50
= £18.37 per month 500 xnet mins 100 text

they will give me cashback at month 10 I think she said or might have been 12 of £94.50 and I wouldn't have to claim that it would be automatic so no sending in bills,

any thoughts on this?
or should I wait till march then cancel and restart another contract?
any advice/ideas would be great,


thanks

I would wait until nearer upgrade time though before choosing any deal yet

Hi
I phoned 3 today and after a bit of haggling I got first month free, 10 months at half price and £94.50 cash back at month 7. I was quite pleased with this deal. You could try for more as they were very keen to keep me with them.
I hope this helps.
thnks

If you want to go directly with 3, i'd say take the upgrade sooner rather than later. The half-price line rental deal might not be around in March. In fact, it's most likely that it won't be. It'll then be replaced by something inferior, like double text messages or something.

I was offered £185 cashback rather than £94.50 but that meant an 18month contract, urggggggggggg don't know what to do grabbit it or not, knowing my luck ther'lll be brill phone/contract on something like e2save/capphone/dialaphone in March an I'll have done this.

Well done it, New nokia 6280 arriving tommorrow, went for the 12 month with 3 months 1/2 price and £94.50 back at month 7 straight to account, and they've started me a new contract from tommorrow so if they do this again at month 10 I will get a new phone every ten months with no messing about with cashbacks as they give it automatically, but if anyone can see a flaw let me know got 7 days to change my mind !! lol
