Any flexible retailers? Want Treo 680 on £30pm contract

stugib

Hi,

Anyone know of any retailers that can offer a bit of customer service and either source phones they don't usually have, or can arrange contracts they don't usually provide?

I'm after a Palm Treo 680 on a contract for max £30pm that includes at least 500 texts. I'd prefer 12months but am happy to go on 18month contract if it gets me what I want, and even pay £30-50 for the phone. Vodafone have the Anytime 200+1000 texts on 18m contract for £30/m which seems the best fit from my research.

My problem is that I can find a few retailers that sell the phone (Phones2UDirect, Expansys, BuyMobilePhones) but can't or won't offer the tariff I want, or retailers that have the tariff (e.g. Vodafone's website) but don't sell the phone.

I've rung the 3 retailers mentioned but none can arrange the contract I want - Expansys were helpful but didn't have it available, BMP said they could only do what was on the site, P2UD's phone systems were down. I know Vodafone sometimes offer tariffs exclusively but there are similar contracts (£35pm for 500mins+1000 texts) so I can't believe it's not available if someone was prepared to try hard enough! Don't want free gifts, cashback etc, just the contract I want.

Any ideas?
