Orange Mobile retention offer - should I look elsewhere?

Korkyb

Wifie`s currently on a £20 monthly 18 month contract due to run out mid May with Orange. Its 300 mins and 100 texts (Raccoon).

(She uses about 100 mins per month and 30 texts).

She wants to keep her current phone & number so no upgrade phone required.

Orange have offered 200mins and 3000 texts for £10 per month but with a 18 month contract running from end of current one.

The £10 would start immediately so effectively saving us £30 off the end of current contract. (Taking this into account will mean the deal effectively costing about £8.35 per month).

Deal or No Deal?

Thanks for any advice.

Bare in mind the extra 3 months from this contract get tagged on the end of the next one, so an 18 month contract becomes a 21 month...

Had this deal with T-Mobile pointed out to me http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/sim-card/pay-monthly/sim-only/sim-only-10-30day/allowances/

100 x network minutes
100 texts
+ add free unlimited landline calls "booster"

£10 per month and only a 30 day contract.


Phoned Orange again & they couldnt match this - probably cos i'm talking to upgrades & not retentions (not in my last 30 days yet).

I'll leave it till last 30 days of contract then go through to retentions by cancelling account & see what they can do.
