    I'm on the n96 for £25ish a month unlimited texts and 300 mins and unlim internet, started wokring for 3 and i want a new handset asap no bothered if i have to go onto a new contract with voda at a cheap price to get a handset as i'll be getting a free sim from 3 with all the texts mins and int i need. Contract doesn't end till april though and I phoned up today they said the ealiest i could upgrade would be the end of january which i figured bu the guy said the best i could do would be £20 per month for something not as good as the n97. If i was to do a 6 month extension just now i'd have to pay ~£440 for the n97! That's with £60 off, any ideas? Or should i just buy an unlocked iphone outright when my contract ends with voda, perhaps clear the contract off when i get my 3 sim and get an iphone or something then...?
    Looking for good deals! :)

    Would you not be better buying through Three and getting your discount?

    The family has 3 accounts with Voda but Virgin are offering alot better deals at the moment so they have lost 1 account with the other 2 lining up to be changed! Vodaphone would not even come close to what Virgin offered

    thought i'd put my tuppence in.

    got my PAC last week.
    vodafone retentions phoned today to offer the new Satio for £25 PM with 600 mins unlimited texts and internet, 24 months.
    said i wanted it under 18 months so recalculated as £29.70.
    said i'd mull it over and get back to him and he's phoning again tomorrow.

    this a good deal?


    The 2nd deal is not very good. You'd pay £29.70 x 18 = £534.60

    On 24 months you'd pay £25 x 24 = £600

    So on the 24 month deal you'd only be paying £65 more for the last 6 months - about £11 a month.

    Hi,

    That would mean he pays £4.70 extra for 6 months, so in total £28.20. Basically you pay £28.20 to upgrade/end the contract 6 months early!

    I was on the phone to Voda yesterday and was offered:

    Free Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition
    600 minutes + txts
    £20 a month for 18 months

    The only condition was that I had to take out the insurance for a month which can be cancelled!

    Is that a good deal? I like the W715 for 12 months deal...going to mention it to them today, god willing!

    I am due to upgrade as my contract ends in two months.

    I would like to have the SE Satio so i gave them a ring. Chatted to a guy called Mike who after a long friendly chat offered this deal.

    300 min
    unlimited txt
    unlimited internet
    18 months contract
    £25 per month
    £60 to pay for the handset.

    I didn't take it but asked him to save it on my account. I would have taken it if the handset was free but i guess it has given me something to work with.
    Anybody got anything better on the Satio?

    Read on HUKD today someone got the HTC Magic 18m x £17.50 a month. 300 mins, unlimited text and internet.....

    If they had offered me this I probably would have stayed with them but they try and rip you off and now i've got me a HTC Hero on T-Mobile... very happy.
