    Been offered:

    600 mins
    Unlimited texts
    Unlimited Internet
    18 month contract
    £25/month
    Samsung Jet

    Any thoughts please :confused:


    Its an average offer to be honest. You could do better especially since i've heard the samsung jet has had various issues with it. It's not too bad a deal though, it just depends how willing you are to push them...
  • just received my first call from vodafone, my contract is finishing on the 7th november. he offered the htc magic, 600 mins, unlimited texts and internet for £25/month on 24 MONTHS.

    Do you think i can get better?

    I mentioned how other people have got this deal for £20/month on 18 month contract- he was having none of it and insisted this was not possible.

    tommy_ Now way. you can easily get that cheaper.

    It's £30 on the vodafone website, that tarriff. Plus you get £90 quidco, which effectively means hes knocking £5 for the last 6 months - pathetic reallly.

  • Yeah, I'm a newbie to Vodaphone....I was given a 24 month contract £20.00 per month, 300 mins, U/limited texts and WAP, plus the Nokia 5800.....this is better than O2 are willing to give on retention!!! Save £100!!

    As I said above mate, tell them you can get the HTC Hero on a 24 month contract for £18 a month (its a cashback deal but don't tell them that unless they ask).

    The Hero is a much better phone than the Magic so you should be aiming for £18 a month IMHO.

    They will tell you it can't be done, they'll lose money on it, they aren't allowed to give discounts that big yada yada yada...

    Its just a case of how far you want to push them... it usually takes at least 3 calls from them to me before I get the deal I want.
