Vodafone Retention Deals

emma396

are many people not taking a new phone? i got offered my tariff at half price without a new phone on a 12 month contract, so £13.50, 200 mins, 500 txts and stop the clock. i'm fairly tempted with that coz i don't really need a new phone. do people think this is good?

My contract is up and I have my PAC code.

I am on 500 Mins, 500 Texts & STC paying £35.00 a month (have been for 18 months).

Vodafone retentions offered me:

1) Samsung Omnia, 600 Mins, 100 texts, unlimited data for £26.00 a month for 18 months.

or

2) Nokia E71, 600 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited data for £25.00 a month for 18 months.

The guy who offered me the above deals gave me his mobile and told me to phone him back when I have decided (they have not rung me since I spoke to them about 10-14 days ago).

Am I likely to get a better deal from them than these?

I did ask about the Blackberry Storm, but the guy said that they are not up for negotiation on the deals offered with that phone. If I want it I have to pay £35.00 a month for 24 months. You get 600 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited data and a free phone. Is that the best they can do? And is the phone really worth it, 24 months seems a really long time.

Also, if I did not take any of the phones & just opted for the mins & texts could I get the 600 mins, unlimited texts for £12.50 a month with a 12 month contract?

Or do I jump ship to 02 & get an iphone? Or join the 3 network (my wife is on this as is my stepson)?

My head is in a spin at the moment, too many phones to choose from?

What would you do?


Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Yep, only Vodafone offer the phone so they can pretty much say "Don't wanna pay for it? Tuff" and yes it's worth it.

Thanks for that fsrandom.

I must admit I really like the look of the Blackberry Storm. I may go for that one in the end.

Apart from that particular phone can you offer any advice on the deals I have been offered?

Can I expect anymore than whats been offered to me? And would I get the £12.50 deal if I didnt take a phone?

Cheers

You can get £90 cash back through Quidco for a Vodafone contract. I'm ordering the Storm through Quidco in 3 weeks when my o2 contract has finished.

I dont think I can do that as I am an existing customer?
