Pixel 2 and 2 XL

Hi all, Forgive me this maybe a complicated post :) I

I have 3 contract phones with Vodafone (mine, my wife and her mothers) total monthly is around £90. 2 of the contracts (mine and my wife) are due for an upgrade in January. As the title suggest i would like to get pixel 2's or even the XL.

Problem is through Vodafone directly they do not supply the pixel. I can get it on Vodafone through carphone warehouse but this would be at full price and no room for negotiating the price. Does loyalty still get us any good deals ? I have been with them for over 10 years, also does having more than contract give us any power to be a little more demanding?

I don't know if this is possible but has anyone had any experience with getting a contract through carphone warehouse and then calling up Vodaphone to bring the monthly cost down?

I don't mind switching to a new provider if the deals are good my only concern is I have just finished an IVA and dont know if I would be turned away if the new company do a credit check. I never missed a payment on the IVA or my mobile contracts.

Can anyone provide any advise for me

    Im pretty sure you cant take out a contract with CPW and then phone VF asking for a cheaper deal, as far as I know it doesnt work like that

    Have you checked your credit files ?

    Buy the phones outright (or a cheaper alternative) and get a pay monthly sim.

    No reason why not.

    Just as soon as you’ve completed the minimum term you agreed in the contract at CPW...
