    The term seems like a long one, do you think i could negotiate further?


    "Yip, that's not very good for a 24 month contract. I WOULDN'T accept that"

    Thanks for the advice foolsgold99, I rang back and they've dropped the term to 18 months.

    I'm still within my 2 months before my contract expires. So i'm eligible for an upgrade. I called up asking for my PAC code and they state I would have to pay £57.79. If I offered to pay this, would Voda still do me a good deal. Or do you think they would let me go? Also Is it worth waiting for my contract to expire?

    Anyone know when the PAC code can be officially retrieved, is it the day contract expires or a week earlier?

    I think you can get your PAC when you are within 30 days of the end of the contract. Strictly speaking it's not a PAC CODE at all, just a PAC, because PAC stands for Port Authorisation Code (I think)!

    depends how quickly you want a new phone and if you want to stay with Vodafone or not. I have just under 2 months to go and have made enquiries but decided to leave it a few weeks and see how the land lies then. I would imagine that the closer you are to the end of your contract, the more they will be worried about losing you and thus hopefully offer you a better deal.

    I phoned vodafone today and accepted the following.

    Free Samsung Lucido
    250 minutes
    100 texts
    Unlimited internet and emails
    £17.50 per month for 18 months.

    Total price of £315 for whole of contract.

    What does everyone think of that deal? The phone costs around £220 sim free so I thought it's quite good? I was wanting a Samsung Classico but Vodafone dont stock it for some reason.

    My 14 days are nearly up, just wondering if anyone thinks this is a good deal or could I do better?

    Thanks!
