My orange contract ends 17 April 2014.

Currently have 16Gb iPhone 4s perfect condition which I intend to sell and put sale money towards an iPad mini with retina.

Current deal was £28 p/m for 600 mins, ul texts, 1Gb data, 2Gb wifi. This deal included a 20% contract discount from retentions.

I plan on requesting my PAC code and telling Orange that vodafone have offered me:

16Gb iPhone 5s space grey. Same package as above but 4G plan, for £30 p/m, free handset.

What are my chances they match? (Giffgaff sim ordered meantime).

    Your Orange contract doesn't end, it just reaches the end of it's minimum term and becomes a 30 day notice contract.
    I don't think anyone can predict what they might offer to retain your business: there's only one way to find out.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Yeah that's why I'm asking for my PAC code.

    Received PAC code from Orange. I wonder if they will call again to try keep me or if that's it.

    So they just called and matched my original "made up" offer from Vodafone.

    iPhone 5s. 16GB, space grey
    4G plan
    2Gb data
    Ul texts
    Ul phone calls

    £32 per month no handset fee. Perfecto!!
