Take Martins Upgrade Formula Further

Of course it works! Everyone should do it! I have been on a free contract now for the last 5 years! Yes thats right 5 YEARS!! It works on a cash-back/redemtion deal but as its with the carphone warehouse your money is perfectly safe!! Every year I call up and with a bit of chutzpah and a little bit of dell-boy style haggle I get a free contract.
You must be thinking "yeh but he's probably only on 50 mins per month and I need 200!" Well think again 500 mins & Texts on my last deal.

So take Martin one step further and request a redemtion contract. But wait till 2 weeks before Christmas as thats when the deals start flowing. Also like Martin says shop around first and dont be scared to ask to leave because thats when you go through to the real deal makers. And if you mess it up just say you'll call back later then start again. Its as easy as that!! Post your great deals below!!
So go on and give it a go this Christmas and get yourself a REAL deal!!

p.s. I am due an upgrade in 3 weeks so I will post you all my next contract.
Happy Huntings!!!
