new customer deals/upgrading customer deals!

Tamster150

I am due an upgrade on Tmobile.

I have been trying to find a good deal for HTC desire s.

I want to pay around £25. Tmobile are unable to offer me said phone package for less than £35, even though on several websites you can get a good package with free phone for around the £25 mark - if you are a new customer!!!!

Is there anyway that i can get the newbie package by upgrading?

I phoned the tmobile upgrades department - would I be better to try a 3rd party like CPW, P4U?

Just get it as a new custormer.

Why not?
Be careful with with redemptions deals though.
Don't forget about TCB/quidco.

If you want to keep your old number and the same network, just port it to a free PAYG sim from another network, than back to t-mobile.

You'd be better off speaking to the retentions dept (select the 'thinking of leaving' option).
They should be able to offer a much better deal than the upgrades team.

How long would i have to stay on PAYG??? Think the DB has some old PAYG sims floating around.

The best deals that I have seen are on P4U - anything that I need to be aware of, when dealing with them?

and finally thank you for taking the time to answer my posts/questions!

There is no any minimum term, but I'd say it would be polite to wait for a few days at least.
If you port to the old sim you will lose it finally (the old sim).

Some deals can be with redemption - be very cautious: Cashback Guide for Dummies.

Also, if you have any problems with the handset, you will deal with the retailer/manufacture, not the network.
