T-Mobile : Changing Contract ?

Hi all,

I currently have an HTC on a £20 per month contract with T-Mobile, I want to get a Blackberry now but if I wanted BBM I'd have to pay the extra £5 bolt on which I cant afford so is it possible for me to reduce my current contract to £15 per month by i.e reducing texts or something then adding the BBM to bring the price to the same each month.

T-Mobile 24 Month Contract (Now in 11th Month)

Cheers!

    Very unlikely at 11m in, you can only ask.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Quite the opposite, I think it is pretty likely that they will allow to change the plan if the price is the same or bigger. Probably this depends on your luck, i.e. what person you speak to.
  • just spoke to them on the phone , they refused to change it even though the price would be the same and I'd go and buy the BB myself .... So I said I want to speak to the manager , they are going to call me back at 6 :P

    If you can afford to buy a Blackberry at full retail cost, surely you can afford an extra £60pa?
    Texts are probably the lowest value part of your package, so unlikely they'll offset that against the £5 extra for BBM.

  • I aint buying it at full retail, Im basically swapping my HTC for a BB if I can get the contract.
