good deal from Orange???

Hi!

I called orange as my contract is up to see what they could offer:

They said nothing more if I only want a 12month contract!

I am on Panther 45
600 x net mins
400 x net text
for £20
plus £6 insurance

What do you all think? I wanted to check before I call back and be pushy...
Thanks for you help in advance:beer:

    They haven't offered a new phone, so I'd be better not signing any contract...I'm sure if I was pushy I could get a new phone!!! Interested in iphone but Orange don't do that. Does anyone know of any good alternatives? I have just come back from travelling so haven't a clue!

    Thanks :)

    scrap that then get them to change it to a sim only, then there is not contract period you just give 30 days notice and £20pm would get you 600min and unlimited text!
    so you get more text and you're not tied in, check with them about the insurance though
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D

    Thanks, just called orange. They said they can not improve the deal...They also said that after Jan 10 I would revert back to paying £45 also (for 3 months) but they would offer me a FS80...I ideally wanted a blackberry, htc phone and would have been willing to pay but they said it would be £200+ to upgrade!!

    So gonna stay as I am and shop around!!!

    I'm part way through an 18-month contract, and I won't be taking another 18-month one next time. If Orange aren't interested, then I'll go elsewhere.
