New customer negotiation

flagpole_corner

Hi, has anyone had any luck negotiating contracts for new customers? I was initially going to get one of the orange racoon contracts (300mins, 100 texts, unlimited landline calls and free c902 for £19.57 a month) which I thought was a good first contract deal and enough for my usage and within budget. But I noticed t-mobile (who I'm on payg with for about 3 years) have reduced their Flext35 to £25 per month and a free nokia 5800 or N79. I don't need anywhere near the £200 worth of calls and texts that this deal comes with but would pay the extra fiver per month it came with free internet. Anyone know if it's possible to negotiate a significant chunk off the allowance but add in free internet? I'm at work so will phone up customer services later but wondered if anyone has any experience with anything similar (not renewals)?

I've tried getting something out of t-mobile before by using the fact that I've been topping up ~£20 a month for about 3 years but they're having none of it and don't really care, which is a shame.

Thanks in advance

I dont think they will negotiate with you as a new customer, only for businesses who purchase multiple handsets.

This might interest you, the only problem is its on 3!

Don't forget £47.50 quidco for the £20 texter plan!

Orange have reduced their priceplans by up to 33%, but this does not include internet.

Most websites are accessible through quidco, through which you receive cashback.
Also, refer a friend for £30.

That C905 clearance is good but its prob a refurb handset and going on all the issues that phone has id look at the 5800

if you have a decent T mobile 3G signal then the 5900 is available on Combi30

£30 a month and with £150 cashback even if you add on a internet for £5 a month still comes in around £20 a month by the time you add in Quidco
