Orange Contract and PAC Code

JonnyH2

Hi, am quite new to MSE, but have a question.....
I've just finished a contract with Orange yesterday, I was on Dolphin 25, had been for 12 Months... Im going to the O2 Online 10 deal (I'm not a huge mobile user)...asked for my PAC code, got offered some deals, said no...said they'd send out the PAC within 7 days :rolleyes:... Question is, is that the contract over now? could I call up and be offered more options? or is my contract now officially over?

Thanks!
Jon

According to the answer's i've been reading. Your contract isnt over till you actually use the pac.
So technically, your still being charged till you use the pac.
Therefore you can ask them to re-new their offer.
Did you ask for your pac as a bluffing technique to get a better deal?

The contract will not end until the PAC is used by the the recipient service provider.

Great!

I'm in 2 minds currently, my existing deal was a £20 a month (Dolphin 25) for 12 months...I have a Sony Ericsson K850i...
Told them about the O2 Online 10 which is £9.78pm for 150 mins and 300 txts, 30 day contract....
They offered a free Sony c902, £9.78pm for 200 mins Unlimited txts, 18 Months though....
( would probs sell one of the phones for more capital )

Thinking of ringing back and accepting that, what do you think?
Thanks!

That's a pretty good deal imo, commitment is under £180, and I'd guess the phone is worth £100+ on ebay etc.

No messing with cashback etc either.

Wow, just rang back to accept the same c902 offer...
They offered me a free Nokia 5800! worth double the value! Same deal minutes/texts etc...Incredible..covers the whole contract alone!
