Can i take out two contracts on the same network?

ceanth

I was thinking of getting the 6230i on BT Mobile but i already have another contract with them, mobileshop.com told me that i couldn't do this but has anyone else attempted this?

Are you talking of taking on another contract or of replacing an existing one ?

I currently have 3 contracts with Vodafone - 2 are used by my children -cheaper than PAYG but all are in my name only

Vodafone did ask for a £100 deposit - refundable after 6 months of paying bills on time

The same with Orange: one account and 2 mobiles with different contracts. No deposit. Even had 3 mobiles before - and it was quite difficult to add the third phone to the account.

I dont think that BT mobile allow this, as when i got the 6230 offer on bt mobile 150, i wanted to get another contract for my son, to take advantage of the offer, they didnt allow this, but i could add handsets to the contract and share the minutes. to get another 6230 on the contract was about £300 or something ludricous like that. HTH, Rob

I had 3 phones on T-mobile, wanted another but they refused, can't seem to think why?!?!

I've had 3 Orange contracts on the same account before. The dealer wasn't willing to add the third, but Orange had no objection. I think it was laziness rather than policy.

There may be a difference in the commission arrangements that mean the dealer is more popular for capturing a new customer. Can you take out a new deal without disclosing this then get BT mobile to combine them later?

i think ill take a miss on the BT phone that i was interested in (6230i), im going to hold out for the K750i which ill probably get on O2

belive BT mobile link your account to a landline and thus allow additional handsets but not more acconts to sam landline customer

xsammix

oh right, i not sure about that then,sorry. why dont you ring them and ask them?

My husband and I both have a bt mobile contract each which is linked to our home landline.
Both contracts were from e2save and we had no problems getting the seperate contracts.
