Problem..where i am..&..where i would like to be
Good Morning Moneysavers !
WHERE I AM: I took out a Motorola Milestone on 24 Month ORANGE contract in March 2010. £35 per month + VAT. (plus if I go over measley 500MB data cap per month I am charged so have some months added a £5 1Gb BOLT-ON)
WHERE I WANT TO BE: I want a DELL STREAK (factory unlocked) which I want to purchase outright and upfront and be on £10 per month 3 SIM ONLY deal with 1Gb internet per month
PROBLEM: How do I get from Where I am to Where I want to be ?
Is it even possible ?
PS
I am prepared and expect to be UNABLE to get out of my ORANGE contract so would love to get a DELL STREAK (factory unlocked) selling my Milestone (would I have to unlock it first ? Is it locked ? Would ORANGE unlock it for me ?) and use it on my ORANGE contract ? Anyone see any problems doing this ?
Many Many thanks for your help/advice

Hi there
Have you considered selling your Milestone, getting the unlocked Dell Streak and shoving your Orange sim in it? You could then add the £5 1Gb bolt on and save yourself £5 a month.In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.The late, great, Douglas Adams.0
