Contract due 1 month from now, called orange disconections.

As per what martin advised not happy bla bla, 3G better offer etc.

I have been offered 500 x net minutes, (with 30 text for the 1st 3 months) for £25 p/month.

K750i which is £29.99 on a £30 tarif for a new connection on the orange website, they will do for £19.99! (should I call her bluff and say I want it free or im leaving?)

The lady is calling me back on tuesday as thats the date exactly 1 month before my contract is due so they can upgrade me early.

I've seen some people on here mention they got 500 min and 150 text for £25 a month, are you sure this isn't a mistake?

Cheers Paul

    k750i is a great phone, but you can get a great deal with Vodafone from OSPS atm. So i say call their bluff.

    You can, but you won't get the 500 mins for £25! That is a bargain, you could still try getting the phone for free, just quote the offers on OneStopPhoneShop and e2save but they will probably say they won't compare it as you're getting more mins for less. Just say you want it for free, if they won't do it just backtrack a little, sounds like a top offer to me, especially considering the K750i is new.
    2p off is still 2p off!

    thanks! She has given me £10 off the orange website new connection price and the 500 min xnet £25 beats new orange connections as well.

    I read here that someone pushed too far saying they wanted a phone free and orange said no, so they proceded to cancel the contract. When they recieved the Pac code letter from orange saying were sorry to see you leave call us, that phone call then got him the offer he wanted!

    I know its only £20 but this sight has got me looking for ways to save even the last penny :beer:
