  • My advice would be to get a PAC code and sit on it for a few days.
    No harm in doing so as you've not cancelled your contract until you use the code. If you do this I'm sure you will get T-Mobile ringing you offering the £22.50 deal as I did.

    You can try ringing buymobilephones.net (I got offered £15 a month through them) but I am little unsure about this company and the whole 1/3gb FUB issue so I'm going with T-Mobile direct.

    I know its nowhere near some of the deals people are getting on upgrades, but I've just ordered a HTC Desire from buymobilephones for £29 on a £20/24 month contract. 300 mins, 300 txts and unlimited internet as the booster option.

    FINALLY struck a deal with 3 a week after asking for my PAC code :)
    500 mins, unlimited texts, 1gb internet, free 3 to 3 (essential for us, the whole house is with 3) and the HTC Desire all for £20.00 per month.
    Really pleased, only drawback is I have to wait until 1st of September for the phone to be delivered.
    This has taken me 6 long weeks of negotiations which started with them wanting £32 for the same deal. It pays to wait folks! :D
    Come ride with me, through the veins of history...

    Just phoned up T-Mobile CS team and said im thinking of canceling but I noticed I was due for an upgrade (this was true) and this contract has been going years, what deal can you do me on a HTC Desire?

    The reply was an offer for:

    600 Mins
    500 Texts
    Flexible booster
    Unlimited internet

    for £30, I said hold on a min, thats the same that you offer for new customers, and its not a good deal anyway, as for £35 Three offer 2000 mins and 5000 texts for new customers, to which there was no real reply, then I was offered a Xperia X10 Mini pro, to whic I said im only really interested in the desire (also true) and then she offered me a Sim Only deal and said is that any use to you, so I just replied no, if and if you cant offer the desire any cheaper then I want request my PAC, heres hoping for a phone call :)

    Just got a call from CS and they offered me a HTC Desire with 600 Mins, 500 Texts, Flexible Booster and Unlimited Internet for £22.50 and I have not used this contract at all in the last 6 months at least, so great deal for me!

    I rang to request my PAC code (at end of contract) and have been offered the following:

    HTC desire
    remain on existing deal (700 xnet mins, 250 txts)
    unlimited internet
    £30/month for 24 months, but 50% discount applied for 20 months.
    Works out at just under £20/month (£470 over 24 months)

    I think its a great deal but is 24 months too long?

    Also, they dont actually have the phone in stock but will ring me when it comes in. Fingers crossed!!!
