24month upgrade deal on 3.
free htc desire, 500mins, unltd texts, 1gb internet and the usual stuff from 3 (skype, 3 to 3 stuff etc..) for £20/ month. does that sound like a good enough deal?

Sounds very reasonable.

Hi city walk
where have you seen the desire for £320. All I seem to find is more around the 350 to 400 mark. Sounds fab : )

Ok this is what you do! You upgrade on t mobile through a reseller and get a much better deal like i did! I saved alot of money nearly £250 over the 2 years by not upgrading direct through t mobile! I went through buymobilephones.net t mobile upgrades! Other options are chitter chatter and upgrade expert

My contract ends next week and I'm looking to upgrade on t mobile.

I'm worried about going though a reseller because it seems that most reseller packages get unlimited internet from the flexible booster and therefore you are not able to choose another booster, also, reading elsewhere, i think the speed may be throttled.

Will the new terms make it harder to switch to web and walk plus if I buy from a reseller?

Do you think it is possible to get the htc wildfire on the 18 month £15 tariff??

I received my phone on Saturday with the unlimited text booster through Mobile Phones Direct, I called T-Mobile that day and told them I had a Android phone (htc desire) and I want to check if I had the Web and Walk Plus booster turned on and the lady said it was on the normal Web and Walk at the moment but she will change it over to Plus there and then.. No problems, No Questions... I think if you avoid saying "oh i brought it from a reseller" they won't question you.

Sounds good to me also, I was charged £25/month for the same last month, apart from when I asked to receive contract details in writing they're now saying it's only 500mb of internet. :mad:

Last night I signed up to Dolphin-25 (300 mins, 3000 texts, 500MB web pcm) for £25 pcm, 24month contract. This included a £100 up front cashback, so the pcm comes down to £20.83.

This was from phones4u (you need to go instore and ask for the webteam/webmatch team).

I can also now sell my mp3player and satnav and use the desire instead to further reduce the pcm.

Also, if I use the Orange 2for1 cinema deal every month then the effective pcm comes down by another £7-8pcm (price of admission at my local Odeon)

Not sure how it compares to other deals, but I'm happy with it.

Have finally got my Desire from mobile phones direct - came with 1gb internet, have tried twice now to get tmobile to upgrade to 3gb, each time they have said it will cost me an extra £5 a month and that it would be unlikely that I'd need more than 1gb anyway.
The plan I'm on is £20 month, 300 mins 300 text and unlimited internet (up to 1gb).

hi Steve,

was your handset unlocked?
was there any orange branding on the phone? both hardware and software?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Keep at them.

It's not just the 1gb, the speed is heavily capped.
