Vodafone Retention Deals

scope

Can somebody explain to me what this price plan means:

CTRA150+50%EM+VP+18M

I've just spoken to Vodafone to get my £15 (225min/100sms) 1month Sim Only down to £9.99, however my account used to say:

SIMOCTRA225+100texts 30D

However it has now changed to the above.. Dont want less minutes or tie in for 18 Month or anything silly like that..

Edit: I'll update this myself.. The B%$£rds put me on a 12 month contract without letting me know I was entering into a 12month contract (used to be a 30 days contracts).. Its now been cancelled and Im off to one of the cashback sites to get some cashback. ;-)

anyone managed to blag a deal this way:

I have been on an sim only deal for about 2 months now at £15 a month. Have requested my pac code and have recived it.

I have had this about 5-10 days now and have had numerous calls from vodafone on there 0808 number most of the time I have not managed to answer the call. I answered once they said they could not do nothing for me, The 2nd time I was looking to get a phone on an 12 month contract for the same deal at £15 a month possibly the Sony Ericsson C902 but as I was on hold I was cut off so I dont know wether they would do an deal for me.

As I am onl sim only and only been with them for 2 months what kind of deal should I be asking for? Any advice would be of great use to me.

I am in a similar position, well will be in approx. 2 mths and would be interested in the outcome.

Anyone on Vodafone Sim Only Contracts trying to negotiate a better deal please note that Vodafone are not allowed to discount the Sim Only Tariff so your wasting your time with them....Dont waste your time with there retentions department they can't do anything for you.

They initially offered me £12.50 when I rang to ask for the PAC - no mention of a 12month contract, so not sure if it was 1 month or not..

My wifes phone that she uses for her job is expiring on July 16th, so I phoned to revise. She was on a £40 500 minute tariff from a phones4u cashback ( fully paid ) but she needs to keep the number and this is very tricky if not impossible to do with another cashback.

So upgrade - well downgrade really.

Without and trouble she gets a new Nokia 6300 ( off to ebay with that ) 225 mins and 250 texts for £12.50 a month - 12 month extension. So £150 for year less the £60 ish from ebay or cex means she will only pay about £7.50 a month and no cashback to worry about, and she keeps her number

Happy bunny on that....

I just did the whole PAC request thing and got a new N95 8GB to go with my existing Anytime 75 Stop The Clock with 150 minutes, 100 texts, and rollover for £16 a month.

very pleased.

I don't seem to be able to beat VF down on this one... I tried for the SE C602 as mentioned on this thread, but they would have none of it! The only offer they will give me is:

500 mins + 100 texts - 12 month - SE 770i or Nokia 6300 = £15 per month

I'm literally on the last couple of days until my PAC expires... should I take it?

Id jump at the above offer, sell the 6300 on fleabay and youve got 4 months free, making it effectively 10/pm



Im also having problems, the only thing they will offer me is 1/2 price line rental (17.50pm) for 9 months of a 12 month contract (35 thereafter), without a handset.

I think this is a particualrly poor offer, especially considering I ran up two phone bills of £250 earlier this year and frequently go over my monthly spend. I was expecting something like a 500mins/100texts for £10pm on an 18month contract, but even on a longer time theyd only offer 25/pm, again with the first 9 months 1/2 price.

I havent sent in my PAC code request yet, is this likely to boot them into action?? These are poor poor offers, especially considering theyre without a handset.

Well I've caved in. I took the deal I posted above with free delivery and a Bluetooth headset. The sales guy sounded very happy about it so I was obviously rubbish at negotiation! :rolleyes:
