Any chance of a good deal on 2nd Orange contract?

19lottie82

I have been an Orange customer for 6 years currently paying them about £55 a month (£35 PCM contract, £12 orange care and £13 additional call charges). I'm about 18 months in to the 24 month term.

Anyway I was wondering what the chances were of getting a good deal for a second contract, or would they offer me a bog standard deal? Phone is for my OH who uses a lot of minutes for work so would prob be looking at around 1000 and phone would need to be decent although a really recent one isn't really necessary. Was thinking maybe an original HTC Desire if they still sell these.

Would about £25 PCM tops be too optimistic?


Thanks

Probably - I took out a second contract on my BlackBerry and just got the bog standard deal - I pay £35 a month for 900 minutes so I would guess £25 for 1000 is unlikely.

I don't think that they do an original Desire, but many other companies like cpw/e2save/osps/mobiles.co.uk and p4u/d-a-p are likely to do. Also I think they are likely to offer you a better deal than Orange (don't forget cashback).
Just check numerous comparison sites for mobiles.
£25 p/m with 1000 minutes is achievable, but not on Orange:

It's my boyfriend, not my wife ha but thanks for the reply!
Yeah he does, he uses it for work and was using the giff gaff 800 mins goodie bag and always going over it so now gets the 1200 min one for £25 a month .....

I called orange earlier and they said they should be able to do me a reduced rate deal on a second line, the sales team were busy so they are going to get some one to call me back.
