Looking for cheap contract, three incorrect?
Hey there,
I'm looking for a cheap contract, ideally with the k800i or a nokia nseries phone.
I work for DSG which means I'm entitled to 40% off an orange contract or 50% off o2 and tmobile. I'm unsure of the ins-and-outs of this, and nobody really seems to know (the high-street phone shops are too dodgy for me to trust, giving me answers like 'yes, it should be fine, please sign up today' and squirm when I ask for clarification. Does anyone know whether I can get this staff tariff from orange and o2 online?
I need 300-400 minutes and 200+ txts. Ideally i'd like to pay no more than £15/m and I don't want chequebacks because I don't trust them.
I was browsing the three online clearance section and saw this:

which looked to be a fantastic deal. however, when I click on it it tells me that it is in fact NOT £15/m for 18 months, it's £15/m for 12 months then £30 thereafter. I called three and got some indian guy on the phone who had an "its not my problem" attitude and thought I was an idiot when I told him it appeared to be clearly advertising £15 for 18 months. In fact, that's exactly what it said.
So, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm a student so money is very tight and I'm on o2 genie right now, costing me the same £15 per month.
