ive been offered this on iphone4, (tmobile) is it good?

Ive been with tmobile for 15 years (one to one before) and after 9 months of "begging" and speaking to the retentions team this is the deal ive been offered...

Iphone 4 white

£30 for the phone

£40 a month for the contract (flex 40) - i do use allot of mins

18 month contract (as oppose to 24 months to joe public

A guarentee on my account that i can renew my contract after 12 months to another tmobile contract.


the good
ive been with tmobile 15 years so they have let me have a tariff not open to new costomers, and they have let me have an 18 month contract for the price of a 24 month


the bad
i just feel after 15 years of getting great redemtions, this isnt a lot

the summary
total cost over 18 months is £750

just a small note, i will prob get a £5 booster each month to take monthly price to 45 and total cost to £840 (but this can be changed every 30 days, so not set in stone)


i use about 1000 mins and 300 text every month, so the 900 mins contracts are not enough

    I would ring up and do the following....

    Choose the ' im thinking of leaving' option

    Say you saw a better deals elsewhere

    mention the 3 - One Plan (Sim only)

    2000 mins
    5000 texts
    ulimited data
    £25

    they should hopefully make an offer the minimum i would
    be looking for is....

    At least 1000 mins
    At least 500 texts

    £10-15

    then ask them if they are doing any special offers on any phones
    At the time they were doing the Samsung Ace at a discointed rate.

    If you get a smarthphone from them they should give a 3GB allowance

    If you are uncertain of the deal just tell them you need to think about it. Then post the offer they made here.

    With an iPhone 4 you're lucky to get any kind of special deal at all. £10-15 is completely unreasonable for that particular phone and the Ace doesn't compare to it.

    Seems to me you've been offered a decent enough deal, better than most people would get with an Apple product!
    Have I helped? Feel free to click the 'Thanks' button. I like to feel useful (and smug). ;)
  • it should be pointed out in response to the messages ive had.

    I have spoke to retentions 3/4 times. I have mentioned the 3 deal and i definately want an iphone4

    Well if you definatley want an iphone then you got to pay the premium.

    If thats the case then the above deal seems decent enough.
