Are Orange or O2 open to haggling? Anyone had any luck getting any deals?

  • Best way to get a good deal is to buy the iphone on pay as you go then take out a sim only plan not much saving to be made but you get alot more minutes and text message

    You'd need to add an internet bundle of some kind or your next months bill would be out of this world. . .

    I currently pay £12 for unlimited internet, unlimited texts and 300 minutes. Are you saying if I bought an iphone I could just put my sim card in it?

    I mystery shopped loads of carphone warehouses this year seeing what discounts where offered on the iphone, and there wasn't a single one. They weren't even interested and I am not shy about trying to get a discount either lol!
    £100 - £10,000

    The iPhone is probably quite a profitable phone (if the other Apple products are anything to go by, at least...), however to retain this Apple frown on anyone discounting their products - the second that one person starts to discount the price will tumble...
