Vodafone Retention Deals

Timmy_Magic

I requested my PAC code Sunday evening, got a phone call when I was at work each day Mon, Tue and Wed (including 3 times Wed) which I couldn't take. I am day off today and they haven't rang me once!!! LOL You couldn't make it up :wall:

They must be reading this forum as they have just phoned me! Asked what I wanted which was a Samsung Galaxy S3 on a short term contract (12 month ideally) and for around £30 a month. I was told that they couldnt offer me the phone for that price as they needed to recoup the cost of the phone and £30 x 12 is not enough for that as no network would offer it. I was not offered anything else so told them I would look elsewhere.

Presumably, I will get another phone call?

Hi All

My contract of 2 years runs out on 24/11/12 and on my Vodafone app it says I can upgrade from 10/09/12. I'm looking to get on a better price plan or switch to PAYG. I currently pay about £48 a month for 1200 mins unlimited texts and 650mb data which seems pretty poor deal to me. I'm halfway through the month and have used 4 minutes and 50mb so i'm clearly not on the right tariff. Would I be able to switch to PAYG from the 10/9 or would I need to wait till November to do that or are there better options available to me?

You would need to wait until November or cancel, pay off the remainder of the contract and move onto a cheaper deal.

Didn't realise that you can cancel your contract with Vodafone, how much does it cost? My contract finishes on Jan 2013

It will be your line rental x 6 minus any discount they might give you.

My 24 month contract with vodafone ends soon. I pay £50/month. I don't need a handset and am looking at the virgin mobile contract @ £12.50/month for 1200 minutes unlimited texts and 1gb internet. What chance that vodafone will match?

Probably zero, it's worth a phone call though. Make sure you request your PAC code so retentions call you, they are able to offer the best deals.

Hi people

I have had a call from retentions last week asking what I was looking for but they couldn't offer me what I wanted. Are they likely to phone again with another offer or is that it now?

Ideally, I would like them to phone again as would like to see if I can agree to anything else.

A lot of people on here don't seem to be negotiating very well, Ive currently been offered the Samsung S3 1200 mins, unltd texts, 2gb data on a 24 month deal for £26 per month, and they won't better my sim only deal of 900 mins, unltd texts and 500mb data, I'm doubting weather to accept the S3 deal as although it's a good deal they've really taken the mick with me this last month!

I may switch to t mobile as they've got the unltd deal of unltd, calls , texts and data for only £21 a month on a 12 month sim only deal, then you get £80 cash back from top cash back if you go through their website, al though the deal is directly with t mobile. Working out to around £15.50 a month!

It's unlikely, you might have to phone them.

Did you look for a contract with another network?

No I haven't contacted anyone else yet about other deals. I am after upgrading to a galaxy s3 on a 18 month deal with 600 mins, unlimited texts with as cheap as poss line rental.

Am also thinking about the possibility of selling the Samsung when iPhone 5 comes out and buying a sim free iPhone 5 and moving my contract on to that if that's possible.
