Best deals available for Ericsson W900i?

Hi,

I'm sorry, I did make a similar thread for the w800i but randomly found a very good deal for the W900i. This is what it includes

-Free W900i on Vodafone for 12 month contract
-7 months half price line rental at £20, and therefore £40 for remaining 5 months
-500 anytime/anyone minutes
-100 texts
-50 video minutes (though I won't use them)

So it will cost £340 for 12 months.

I don't necessarily need 500 minutes, it's a bit too much, so at least 300 minutes free is fine, and this minimum amount is vital. Free texts aren't essential, but helpful, I can always buy a text bundle with the phone.

I'd really appreciate it if you've found a better deal for this phone-cheaper than £340 for 12 months, on any network, with at least 300 minutes. Thanks!

    No, cheapest i've found is the same as you on E2Save.

    E2Save also have the W800i :-

    FREE Sony Ericsson W800i
    11 months half price line rental saving £165
    Line rental is £15.00 per month for 11 months and £30.00 thereafter
    200 anytime mins to any network
    Free weekend calls to any network for six months

    £195 over the year.

    Maybe you can flash the W800i to a W900i ?.

    good luck.

    Thanks.

    Last questions-is the e2save half price rental done through cashback and in that case, are they reliable? Also, can I port my O2 mobile number to Vodafone if I buy it from e2save?

    Yes, E2Save are one of the reliable cashback companies.

    If you ask O2 for your pac code, you will be able to enter that code when you order online, that will give voda permission from O2 to take your number to them.

  • I think the w900i will become available on other networks soon (I heard March) so hopefully betters deals will come around with that too... it'll certainly give me ammo to throw at Vodafone when I upgrade.

    There are some 4 month free line rental offers on the CPW chain of websites (CPW/OSPS/e3save/etc) just pop in w900 search. It's also out on o2 as of now/next month on o2 so check out o2 offers too.
