Orange offer....

I still have 3 months to go on my 500 mins and 500 text for £25. However they have now offered me 750 xnet mins and 1000 text for £35.

Should I take this ? I also get a free phone on my choice.

Answers asap

cheers.

    I am currently on 500 xnet minutes and 500 text for £25.......

    They have offered me 750 mins xnet mins and 1000 text for £35.. Neither are these are off peak, they are both anytime any place.

    Can this be beaten ?

    I got it becasue my bills are usually around £70 per month and I suppose they love me.

    threaten to cancel, the put me through to cancellations and hey presto.

    Yes this is with Orange not CPW or anything like that.
    nothing.

    Yep it's a 'threaten-to-cancel' retentions deal. Select 500 and Select 750.

    If you're going to benefit from the 750 minutes then I would go for it - try and get the best phone possible out of them too. :D

    What would you say the best/most expensive phone is at the moment ? Nokia 8800 maybe ??

    I wouldn't say the 8800 is the best phone out there. It is however one of the most expensive.

    My contract is up with Orange next week and the best they will offer is 400 mins/240 texts for £30 - whats the point as I can get 500 mins/200 texts on the relax 35 plan with T mobile for £26.25 - prefer this to the flext as relax is only a 12 month plan.

    just switched over to t mobile - the guy who took my call at Orange was so honest and told me people were leaving by the dozen - he also said what a load of rubbish the new animal tariffs were - nice to get an honest reply from a rather disgruntled employee

    I'm looking to swap deals next week and want to find a deal to replace my 200 minutes, 500 texts. My bills come to between £50-£70 per month each as well which is crazy for what I use. Can anyone suggest a decent proce match deal that I could quote for roughly £20-£30 per month?
