Is this pants?

squirly

Thanks in advance for your patience !!

I'm on TMobile and coming to the end of my contract. They have offered me 900 minutes or 1800 texts (or combined) for £25 per month, reduced from £35 on an 18 month contract. They aren't offering me a phone, do I keep shopping around? I think I've been looking at deals too long as they've all merged into one now, help!

pathetic does even begin to describe it......

T-Mob: like squeesing blood out of a stone! Stingy SOB's! Just like Voda.

Other networks may no offer brilliant retention deals but damn they do good cashback deals at least.

T-mob gives least commision to retailers hence no cashback deals!

That sounds like their standard £10 a month off for 18 months or get a crap phone offer they send out by post. If you renew now you'll also get free calls at the weekend and evenings (only on the Flext £35 plan or above).

"Free evening and weekend calls

To get your 10,000 minutes of free evening and weekend calls a month, take out a new connection to Flext 35, Flext 35 plus web'n'walk, Flext 50, Flext 50 plus web'n'walk, Flext 75 or Flext 75 plus web'n'walk in a T-Mobile store, by calling the T-Mobile telesales number or by purchasing via www.t-mobile.co.uk or renew onto one of those price plans instore or via My T-Mobile before 31 August 2007.
We will check to see whether you are eligible for the offer when you ask to renew or upgrade with us.
A 12 or 18 month minimum term contract and credit check applies."

Phone them up, press through to disconnections, and ask for PAC - they will give in. Be ready to negotiate and tell them exactly what you want - I reckon if you've had a reasonable spend you could get a mid-range phone out of them (e.g. W800) in addition to the £10/month off and free calls.

By the way the retention deals are based on the last one year's spend, so you could renew onto something lower (e.g. Flext 20 with £10 off), it doesn't matter.
