Nokia N95 - best deals?

andytwed

Just signed up for the following 18 month contract with Vodafone...

200 mins,500 texts

£27 per month, first 15 months 1/2 price.

£50 for the N95.

Had to take out the second contract, £10 per month, which can be canceled after the first month.

Got the standard 3 months insurance and 1 month internet access too.

Does any one know how restrictive the Vodafone internet access is?
Also, can I use VoIP over WiFi using the N95?

Cheers,
Andy.

Is this not a better deal?

Hi. Was this a retention deal, or are you a new customer. If you are the latter, did you call up and ask for this deal specifically, or were you offered it. Thanks

Why did you have to take out a 2nd contract?

hat-rack

I just got offered vodafone phones4u retention deal - n95 free 12months, 500mins, 250texts, 120mb vodafone internet, unlocked phone for £40 inc vat.

While it's not super hot, i can't seem to see much else out there that's better. I really think i'd use the internet for skype etc, so I'd prefer tmobiel or 3 but tmobile is crazy expensive and 3 don't do 12month deals. Even if they did they would prob be a bit expensive. I'd like to get that £40 down... I only need 250 mins max. Anyone seen anything better out there?

Go into phones 4u and haggle. They offered me similar to the above and also to pay off my existing contract for me.

Well done on getting that deal mate. You can ring up and cancel the £10 a month SIM right away if you don't want to pay the tenner (You have a 14 day cancellation period). I even blagged a CS rep to refund the £1.32 I was going to be charged for the 3 days my £10 a month SIM was connected.
And about the VOIP, you need to debrand the N95 first. You can't VOIP using the Vodafone firmware.

I'm a new customer. I called and asked specifically, saying that a collegue got the same deal back in June. I called a few times... twice the sales person told me that the offer had finished. On the third time the chap went to speak to his manager, and said I could have the deal! Seems like a bit of a strange system they have going on a Vodafone...

They obviosuly expect you to keep the second £10 contract, thus they make more money from you and are happy to give you a better deal on the first contract. I'll be cancelling it straight away though!

I did that today, and all i could get was free n95, £35 for 9 months, 700mins, 250 txt, £40 after 9 months, no 120mb internet, 18 months contract! I told them what I was offered and they wouldn't accept it. Looks like I'll be taking this retention offer. Rang vodafone and they gave me an equally crap offer.

bizzare...

I just rang for this deal. He said the deal was available but the phone was £150 ? I couldn't progress from there, at all ! How did you get it down to £50 ? Also what does the £10 sim do ? How many texts and minutes does it have ? I don't really understand how it works .. Sorry for being thick !
