o2 upgrade0nokia 6300 with £100 credit (18 month contract £35)

purply

Hi,
Need some advice.
I am on an 18 mth contract with o2 and I'm coming to the end of it-rang o2 today and they offered me a free nokia 6300 with £100 credit and a further 18 month contract on the tariff that I am on now-750 mins minutes and 750 texts for £35 a month (so in effect 3 months free)

I do use the texts and most of the minutes-is this a good deal or is there something better out there?

I also found out today that I didnt have to wait 18 months to upgrade-I am a select customer (I dont really know what that means-found out today) but i can upgrade at 15 months-thought this might be useful to somebody.

cheers

The phone you are getting is around 100-110 (price you will get on ebay).
Cash you are getting 100

Cash you will have to pay
630 (less if you upgrade earlier)

Total cost: 430 (23.88 ؕ/ month)
To be honest, its close to rubbish deal.

Ask for Nokia N95 (if you like it) (market value 400-500)
or
Ask for line rental discount. some people got the same package at £20 or less with a bit better phone.

Search for "O2 retentions" thread for ideas and success stories.
