Upgrade Dilemma

I've just found out that I'm due an upgrade. I'm currently on £41 p/m contract with o2 for my iPhone but i pay around £30 as i get the 'Friends and Family' 30% discount. I got the discount as one of my work colleagues at the times partner worked for o2. He no longer works with me and i don't know if it would be cheeky to get in touch purely to see if i can keep getting the discount.

What would you do?

    Just so I understand: your asking more of a moral question then a mobile issue?

    If it were me, I'd reverse the question, how would I feel if a friend I had not seen or heard from for ages contacted me again to see if I could use their discount. Either I'd feel offended or wouldn't care, that all depends on the type of friendship/relationship we had and thats only something you yourself can answer.
