T-Mobile flexT 50 Tariff

Hi there!
I'm taking out a flext50 tariff with T-mobile (£255 of usage based on 20p/min and 10p/text is fantastic!). I see on some sites like thelink or carphonewarehouse.com they are offering a free xbox 360, psp or video ipod with this tariff, but the £35 pound version! Obsurd! If i'm spending more surely i deserve these goods too :) Anyone think it'd be worth asking in the shop for? If not i'll just buy online but if anyone thinks i've got a chance of gettin one of these gifts at a retail store then i'll pop in :)
Cheers!
-Mark

    Always worth asking! If you don't ask, you don't get!

    I'm tempted to go on the same tarriff, but it's £900 over the full 18 month term if you go through T-Mobile. I know you get £4590 worth of "credit", but it's hard, for me anyway, to decide whether it is worth it or not. I know you can go through Cash Back phone shops where they will give you X amount of months free or half price, but it's a lot of things to weigh up!

    Nothing's ever simple anymore! Well, not for me anyway!

    My MIL has just got a flex35 contract and with it she got the free xbox 360.So my hubby is over the moon as she gave it to him.
    You would of though because you were on the better package you would still be entitled to the free xbox.
    I would definetly ask in the shop.

  • Folks :-
    The xbox 360 / Sony PSP etc is paid out of whatever t-mobile pays the dealer for selling the contract. Other dealers give you cashback instead. I personally am more than happy with e2save (https://www.e2save.com) who will give you £250 cash back in FlexT50 depending upon the handset you chose and if you go via quidco you can get another 30 quid.

    Thinking about it t-mobile are quite happy for you to upgrade your contract, so get a flext35 from whoever you like then phone up t-mobile and ask to be put on the flext-50 contract.
