ps do I need a back up plan in case Orange call my bluff and tell me to go and walk? I can't lose my current number that I've had since 1999.

You will not need to change it, as you'll be given a PAC code to port your number to whatever network you end up with.

Orange will give me that if I ask?

Then, the aforementioned deal, is not as good as it looks.

Nonsense, I have been with Tesco for over 1 year now, I have probably been unable to make a call once or twice (tried about 10 seconds after and it was fine).



Also regarding the 1 month rolling on Tesco and can they change the deal, no they cannot change it, it's a rolling contract so as long as you keep it going on the agreed tariff it will remain at agreed bundle and price.

I'm not convinced haggling is the bst way to go. I was with Orange and I tried haggling with them and although they were able to match the £10 per month contract with O2 and Vodaphone with a free phone, they were unable to match the £100 cashback I'll be getting through the Topcashback website. I'll be saving over £340.00 over the course of the next 2 years thanks to my new contract. :j

I've been with three for 18 months now and intially they offered me the X10 Mini for £6 per month (as my contract was expiring and I rang them to cancel) but I wasnt aware how good this phone was and point blank refused....anyway some days later I rang them again to see if they had anything on offer and the guy offered me the E63 (which imo is rubbish) so I refused....then they called me yesterday and said this is the "last offer" type thing and I took it, I'm getting the Sony Ericsson Zylo with 500mb free web a month plus, 600 mins, 300 mix and match and 300 3 to 3 mins guess how much for?
£5 a month! I do have another phone with them so I'm hoping they'll offer me a deal on that one too.
Oh and when I tried to get the X10 mini deal again they refused and said there's no way I could have been offered that deal even though I have the conversation recorded!

So it pays to haggle. :T

I intend to call them on my other 3 phone and ask for my PAC and see what they offer me...

Hi, currently haggling with three, currently e71 £20pm 200mins + unlimited text & net, they still haven't offered anything worth taking, and have today requested my puc. Will they call back to negotiate?

I am with CPW. Currently about to be out of contract with o2. Looking to get a blackberry; 1200 mins as a minimum, internet access, international call discount and need to get a deal so I dont get charged a fortune for non-geographic numbers, especially 0800 numbers. Got through asked for best deal, put through to retensions, then told they couldnt do anything - suggested i ring direct sales!!! I asked for PAC and apparently they will mail me a form - not yet received

any insight?
