    You can choose just one plan at a time. :) Though of course you can add a Booster. In your case the 6 Month Internet Booster.

    There is a sixteen digit code for each voucher.

    If the Contacts are stored on the SIM, they will still be on the SIM. You'll have to copy them over. If they are on the phone....same.

    Why not jot them down on a Notepad now?

    I think I might write them all down, just in case I somehow lose them ;)

    I've had a thought. I was going to buy my new mobile phone tomorrow but whether I order it online or in the shop I can only buy the phone online with the £10 top up included (so not be able to add the "internet data package" first before the Top-Up) and if I go into the shop I can get the "internet data package" instead of the £10 Top-Up but they will want to add it to the phone I buy (which at the £20 discount will be on my existing network Orange) so it is going to be impossible to get it added to T-Mobile at that point, unless I let them do the £10 Top-Up on Orange, wait until the new T-Mobile Sim arrives and take it back into the shop to get them to move the credit left over to T-Mobile and add the data package at that point to T-Mobile.

    Complicated ?

    By the way my vouchers have arrived, thanks

    Complicated only because you are not following what has been written. I'm sure that I have highlighted this to you.

    There is no topup necessary with an Upgrade.
    You can keep your current tariff and you don't need to top up.

    Look here
    So it's just a matter of swapping the SIMs.

    I am sure when I went in the shop the £59.95 for Orange was based on taking a £10 Top-Up because it was marked up as such but I am sure Growler can confirm or deny this. Perhaps they have taken the £10 Top-Up off the Orange phone recently as I notice it is on some of the other network phones?

    Then don't go into the shop. This is becoming horribly complicated. Click on the link provided above and buy it online.

    First of all that is not the Upgrade option.

    Download, install CCleaner

    Close all Browsers.

    Open CCleaner and click on Run Cleaner and confirm.

    Open Browser, click on my CPW link, choose White by clicking on the white box under the phone. Choose Buy Now.

    £59.95

    No offence but I don't want white. I do use CCleaner anyway regularly and also run a registry cleaner and delete cookies too.
