    Was this via retentions team on the first callback?

    Or rather was it outbound retentions i.e. did they call you????
  • Well I called up to cancel within my 14 days and got offered 250mins 100txts unlimited internet, free S.E. X1 for £23 p/m 18m contract; not bad, so I took them up.

    Just got a call today and they didn't offer me anything, close to previously I'm just going to wait untill they offer me the X1 at £20 per month.

    I've been on a sim only deal for the past few 4 or 5 months and am after a Samsung Omnia.The best they will do after I asked for a PAC is £25pm with the phone for free, 12 month contract for 250 mins 100 txts. I think I will go for this as its the better than anywhere else on a 12 month contract and considering I havent been with Voda for that long.
    .

    They called back again (after I requested PAC again as first one expired) and offered me Samsung Omnia for free, 18 month contract, 225 mins (although i thnk it should be 250 as its meant to be same as I'm on now) 100 txts all for £15pm. I've taken the deal :D

    thats a gr8 offer, my contract finishes at the end of january. the outbound retentions called me last ( dunno why so early) offering me n78 with 250 mins and 150 texts for 25 pm on 24 month, i said NOO
    all i want is around 200 mins and 100 texts and unlimited web and a sony ericsson phone such as w595, c902. how much will this cost pm?

    i currently pay £35 for 750 mins and 250 texts, only twice have gone more than 35 pounds.

    I have a question, if i was to take a sim only deal, and then during the 14 day thing, i call them and say i want to cancel unless they give me a better phone than my current one will they give a new phone or not?
    has anyone tried this???

    please reply

    On a Sim only, asin 1 day rolling contract? No, it'd be a complete renegotiation onto a none sim only package.

    Also, if you're refering to a deal with just discount and with no handset you'd probobly have to pay alot for the phone.
