Apparently because i was a valued Customer, thats why i was given the £10 deal, 18 months ago, so i am due an upgrade, is it possible to get a nexus 4 for around £10 -£15 per month with a decent allowance, i preferbly want a latest phone with all the features.

Has anyone managed to bag a new handset in such a price range?

Really not good at haggling, so wanted your guys opinion before i ring Otange.

    Orange don't even sell the Nexus 4 on a contract so that's impossible.

    The Nexus 4 can be bought sim free for £280. What i'd ask orange to do is to put you on a sim only at a lower cost but with the same allowance. They might not be able to do this due to their massive price increases in the past few years but it's worth asking.

    To be honest, any contract you find for the Nexus 4 can easily be beaten with a sim only + buying the phone upfront. The networks have overpriced the Nexus 4.
