Mobiles.co.uk offering better deals then Carphone Warehouse??

Iya,

My sister is getting her O2 upgrade today and she wants a Blackberry Torch so I've been looking on the internet for the best upgrade price for her with the phone been free. I came across Mobiles.co.uk and it turns out that there a sister company or something of Carphone Warehouse.

Mobiles.co.uk offered 300 minutes, Unlimtd Texts, 100 MB Blackberry data for £24 a month. But when i looked on Carphone Warehouse they did no offer of the sort?

So, If me and my sister went in to a carphone warehouse store tonight for her to get her upgrade and we mention this offer with Mobiles will carphone warehouse try and match it or just give us there "closest" offer...

Any help would be grateful :j

Don't know if cpw will match or not.

But you are better off going with the internet (especially as there is £70 up for grabs for upgrades on quidco and probably topcashback).

Theres 15 Months Half Price, But my sister... Shes a bit iffy with going online you know She doesnt like it

OneADay

Maybe she should try her network first for upgrades then - might get a better deal if you quote an offer from the internt.

I've heard O2 dont like it when you offer and will gladly let you leave them? Correct me if i'm wrong

OneADay

Yeah they will let you leave - O2 have set pricing I think for upgrades (found on their site).

But another thing you might want to try with O2 is their online chat feature. Log into My O2 and then click Contact Us, then Email Us. You get a pop up eventually to chat to someone online. Might be bit more responsive to offering an upgrade.

Or look at phones4u/dialaphone too - they have some decent O2 offers too.

Moving to another network is usually best way to get a good deal - or porting out to and then back to O2 on a new contract.

Its a good job im not with O2, Im with Orange

I'll get her to do that when she gets in, Thank you. You've been of great help OneADay

ssswww

Don't carphone warehouse have a network price promise where they match any upgrade deal?

MissKeith

They won't match it. They will only price match another high street retailer, not deal over the internet.
