    Yup, as long as someone can pass the credit check anyone can transfer an acc to anyone else. You can even change the number when you transfer if you want too, but I guess in this case you wouldn't want to.
    I have a feeling that once the transfers gone through it breaks the audit trail on the acc (ie it creates a whole new acc) so that's why it's better to get the upgrade before you transfer. But its been a while since I worked on the front line so I maybe wrong there. . .

    Thanks Jon, much appreciated

    Part of the Furniture 500 Posts Name Dropper Combo Breaker
    I spoke to a girl today and am having the LG Renior with 600 mins and Unlimited texts plus 25MB of internet for £20.

    Beats the £30 for 400 mins and unlim texts, and before that I paid £35 for 500 minutes and Unlimited texts.

    Is this a decent deal? It was a choice between the Renior, C905 or the HTC Diamond.

    I have just under 3 weeks to go before my contract is up. I phoned today and was given an offer which wasn't great. The lady told me that if I ring on the final day of my contract I'll have more loyalty to use and therefore get a better offer.

    Is this correct? I'll probably ring again shortly to see if there's any improvement but wondered if I left it until that time, would I get an even better deal?

    Couldn't get one worth having. Went to O2 instead, via mobiles.co.uk

    I've posted on another thread about my Orange retention woes...
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1433789

    But maybe the deal they offered me might be up your street...
    750mins
    unlimited texts
    evening+weekend data
    for £35 per month

    But that doesn't include data during the day which is crap so you will have to add an extra £5 per month so that's £40 per month. Oh and the phone will cost you £50/60.

    But if you were a new customer you'd get this-
    1 HTC Touch HD (for free)
    600mins
    unlimited texts
    for £29.36 per month
    +£5 for 500mb data
    = £34.36 per month

    I wanted an SE C905, but when I got through to disconnections was told that I would have to pay at least £35 a month - more than I already pay.
    They wanted me off the phone I think as they wouldn't even discuss with me changing mins etc.
    So annoying that there are beter deals for new customers.
    PAC code on it's way...!

    That's a good deal. I was offered the same package but the phone was £195 - to which he dropped to £95. My contract expires on 9th Feb - I'll try again nearer then. Did your Dad talk to retentions?
