    I work for vodafone so if any of you are looking for a good deal on an upgrade - let me know what you have at the moment, how much your bills are usually and what phone your looking for and i'll tell you what you can expect to get as the best possible deal!

    Im due any day now and im paying £25 month I get 900 min unlimited text internet stop the clock.I am wanting a hd htc desire the best deal iv seen is £30 900 min unlimited text if you could beat that let me know i think it was 18 month contract we have been with vodaphone for 8 years
  • Hi Kelly

    Considering if you phone up and ask for a "Sim-Only" upgrade (IE No handset) you can get 12 months for £15 a month for that level.

    18 months x £10 saving = £180
    Buy an HTC on Vodafone prepay and put your contract sim in it for about £150 depending on supplier

    Save money and get a shorter contract in case Voda goes evil in the next 12 months

    Hi Guys,

    Some advice would be great.

    Currently pay £25 for 600 minutes, unlimited texts, "unlimited" web. It was originally £30 but they reduced it as I had some serious cause for complaints (thats another story!).

    I've called for my upgrade today, been offered;

    £25
    Blackberry Torch
    500 minutes, unlimited texts, 500MB data.
    24 month contract
    Phone £23.60 if I pay for one month insurance at £9.99 which I can cancel after first month.

    How does this sound? I have already seen Carphone Warehouse offer the same deal (on Voda too which makes no sense!) but with the phone totally free, so that's my first argument to have with them!

    Also, has anyone come across a better deal than;

    £30 per month
    iPhone 4 - £99
    500 minutes, unlimited texts, 500MB data
    24 months

    Thanks!

    It makes a lot. Loyalty doesn't pay nowadays unless you are a big spender. They are interested only in new customers and pay huge commission to CPW (and like), that CPW share with you by offering a better deal.
    but with the phone totally free, so that's my first argument to have with them!
    Why do you ignore £40.40 cashback for CPW available at TCB? (£90.90 for Vodafone directly).

    I can only get cashback if I join online - is that correct?

    I cannot upgrade online due to discounts on my account that the the Vodafone website does not seem to take note off, but over the phone they do?

    Thanks for this, I must have missed this deal earlier.
    Is the £29.75 inclusive of VAT?

    Just to follow on from this, after some haggling I took the offer of;

    £25 + VAT per month, with £5 reduction for 21 months (so £20 + VAT for the main duration of the contract)
    Blackberry Torch White - £0
    600 minutes
    Unlimited Text
    500MB Data
    24 months

    Much improved on what I was first offered!
