Orange Iphone - want a cheaper plan

Popeye84

Hello all,

I am trying to find a cheaper talk plan with Orange. I basically got my iphone 3GS about a year ago and I have found out that I can lower my plan at the end of the week.

I currently have the Iphone 45 plan with 1200 mins and 500 texts. I got this tariff last year so that I could get the phone for free.

I use around 250 mins a month and 300 texts...that is the highest in the last 6 months!

I have been told that I can only reduce my plan to a package that costs £40. Is this correct??

I am looking at iphone deals on the website and for new customers it looks like they can get a package for £30 odd.

Any help would be grreatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

P84

You can move the tariff down once every six months, so they are correct, your high tariff subsidised the cost of an expensive phone. The deals you see on the website are for the cheaper iPhone 3GS 8GB

I think they don't allow this any more for new contracts. You have your old contract and can check there, cannot you?

If you are upgrading it would be reasonable to compare to the deals the new customers get. However, you want to downgrade. The phone is cheaper now than it was a year ago when Orange subsidised it with the plans to recover the cost over 24 months.
