    sorry i havnt replied for a while, i forgot about it to be honest

    No offence but im not sad enough to try and waste peoples time like that.

    I Genuinly rang up both orange an vodafone and got the deals. I originally looked t website deals for the companies and then at the deals 3 were offereing. IO asked them to give me a good, deal, i said it wasnt good enough. And they changed their offer

    I used sob stories for my current network such as
    ....Iv been with you for x years and did not expect this when coming to switch to a contract from payg....

    For other networks it was more like
    ... with Vodafone being th uk's best mobile phone service provider, i would have expected better efforts at trying to gain customers...

    You can also threaten
    ... If you cant give me a better deeal i will have to be forced to go to one of your rivals phone services...


    You can ask to talk to their supervisor and people with more power, try any way to haggle. If you ring up and spend a while on the phone, more than just a 5 minnute attempt. you will gradually wear them down

    Finally in response to Barjam and Alanclose, again, im am 14, my dad introduced me to this site, i asked my friend what his contract deal was, he then challenged me to find a better one than his because he was adament his was amazing. I then did so, i spent about half an hour on the phone to both companies, haggling them down. To be honest i dont understand why you would think i would try and

    "see how many people i could sucker into trying this"

    I am trying to help people out there who could get ripped off by new contracts.

    O yeh, Barjam,
    how long did your husband spend on the phone?
    Did he quote an online deal?
    Did he quote a deal from another company?
    Did he say what he wanted?
    Did he say his maximum monthly price?
    Did he Spend time haggling?
    Did he any "sob stories" as i mentioned above?

    If he did all of these , well all i can say is that he was just unlucky, everything i have found is genuine, if you really want, i will get vodafone to quote my deal and i will email you.

    THIS IS GENUINE, I SPENT HOURS OF MY OWN TIME, RESERCHING, CALLING AND HAGGLING TO GET THESE DEALS, FOR ME AND TO HELP OTHERS

    The first sentence of my post didn't give you even the slightest clue?

    Honest if my post annoyed you then I am sorry, I didn't mean to annoy you kid, especially since you had such good intentions :D
