After I was put down by Vodaphone/CPW with new upgrade, I had to look for new deal. I would like to share my find with you, what deal I got:

Free Nokia 6230.
400 Xmin for the first 6th months (after that 200 Xmin) for £30.00/m.
£75.00 credit for joining Orange (£50 to me and £25 to my friend, who introduced me).
£50 for traide in of my old phone (no charger needed, and I could not sell it even for a £10).

I could have better deal with e2save.com or dialaphone.co.uk they give you Nokia 6230 + £150 cash back (after 6th and 12th months). But who knows what can happen, and wherethere you get cashback or not. I rather get £125 now then later.

Note: I had new Orange sim card (you can buy one on eBay for £2.00). Registered it on my wife's name and told at Orange store that she is introducing me. They have offer: £25 for the person who introduce you and £50 to you. You can use this credit agains your new phone.

    Orange does Samsung D500 for 49.00 so you get this amount less :) still not bad for the phone.

    I don't like Samsung operating system, had 2 phones and not happy. Sure that many people will not agree with me :)

    BT is :-
    £14.99 x 6mo = 89.94
    £12.50 x 6mo = 75.00 (down grade)

    So £164.94 for the whole year for a D500.

    On the lower £12.50 call plan there are no "free" minutes. The next one up is BT30 @ £15.00 a month (30mins), then BT100 @ £18.00(60mins) and so on. The first six months is BT200 with 200 mins & 50 texts for £14.99, with carry over minutes.

    I have seen today in Metro newspaper that DialaPhone does Nokia 6230 + 12months half price (first 6th month are credited automaticaly, then the rest via cash back, online orders £10 extra).

    BT has only one downside - you have to pay £12.5/month for nothing :(
