  • i'm interested in this deal, have been looking for a few weeks and 'the vodafone deal' seems the best.

    can anyone post the number i shoudl call and i'd also appreciate some advice of how to get the deal... do i come straight out and ask for this or say whats the best price you can do on the n95?

    thanks

    Phoned up O2 today and asked for my PAC Code (retentions number on sayno0870 site). Anyway, the guy went 'why are you leaving' and i said 'Orange offered me the N95 for free on a 12 month contract for £30 a month with 300 minutes and 400 texts' (which was lies). He then offered me:

    12 month contract
    Free Phone
    400 minutes
    1000 texts
    Memory Card
    £30 a month

    I went, 'alright then' :rotfl:

    Anyone had any success in getting a deal like the above from t mobile? If they did that, I would switch in a heartbeat! (mainly to take advantage of their unlimited internet.)

    Guys, the Vodafone deal is back on!!!


    I phoned Vodafone this evening (11 June, 1800hrs) and got the following deal as a new customer ready to port from T-mobile:
    • Free Nokia N95 (She tried to charge me £150 originally, but spoke to her manager when I told her I had my PAC number and was ready to port today)
    • 300 mins and 100 txts per month
    • 15 months x £13.50 and 3 months x £27
    • 3 months free insurance (£6.95 p/m thereafter unless you cancel)
    • 1 months free Internet access (£7.50 p/m thereafter unless you cancel)
    • 1 months free Sky (£5.00 p/m thereafter unless you cancel)
    • 2nd SIM card for £10 p/m which can be cancelled giving 30 days notice in writing
    • Vodafone Passport - calls whilst abroad charged at 75p connection fee and the rest is taken out of your allowance
    • 512MB memory card - she wouldn't give me the 1GB!
    • In-car charger and £3.95 delivery charge
    I also phoned them back to confirm I will receive a new handset and they said that all handsets are new unless the operator has read out the disclaimer saying that they are offering you a reconditioned handset - which she didn't read to me, so I can assume it is new handset!

    Phone being delivered on friday!

    Wow - well done. I phoned them the other day as an existing customer and asked them to match an online offer (18 months, 200 mins and texts from O2 with a free phone) and they refused completely and would not budge. My contract expires on August 25th and they said I am free to give my notice whenever, which I intend on doing to go with another online offer I have seen..............on Vodafone.

    Bit of a pain I cant keep my number though.

    Did notice a misprint in the Sun today for e2save.com - it says the Nokia N95 is free on Orange with 1200 minutes, unlimited texts and with 8.5 months half price (usually £35 per month). The actual cost on the website is £75 a month for this, not the £35 advertised.

    Did you try to get a deal from T-mobile first? What was the best they offered you?

    Does anyone know if there a 12 month contract variant of this deal?
  • O2 were not specific just suggested I call back each month and within a few they would be able to give me the N95 for free. I was first offered 200 anytime mins for £15 and when I pointed out I use at least 500 per month I was then offered the 1500 Off Peak.
  • i got offered 9 months half price, anybody been offered anything better?

    Can you expand on this? Was this a retention offer? Which network? How did you get it?
