  • Finally Orange have given me a good deal. It's my 3rd call to retentions in the last 2 weeks.

    They've offered me:
    HTC Touch for £290ish pounds
    750Xnet mins
    unlimited texts
    unlimited data (as opposed to 500Mb cap)
    for £19.56 per month.
    18mth contract
    £200 credited to account on next bill which I can get a cheque from.
    So basically I am getting the phone for £96 or you could look it as being just over £25 per month and the phone free.

    Thats the sort of deal I want... what sort of contract do you have with them at the moment... and how long have you been a customer?

    I might try them again tomorrow...
  • Was offered either

    C905/HTC diamond
    600 minutes & unlimited texts
    £20 p/m 18 months

    or

    HTC Touch HD
    400 minutes & unlimited texts
    £25 p/m 18 months

    Took the HD, very pleased with it.
  • We got a similar deal as some others.
    Was genuinely going to leave to go on PAYG, but was offered:
    200 mins & 100 txt plus unlimited landline calls
    SE C902 phone with a nice 5mp camera built in
    All for £10 pm for 18 mths.
    First try and very pleased.

    Has anyone tried this, but going the other way round from PAYG to contract ?

    Orange wont go anywhere near these deals for me with a HTC Touch HD... and I can be quite persuasive when it comes to cutting a deal... the deals also seem to vary depending who you speak to.... today the best they can offer is Dolphin 30 for 24mths at £30
  • Anyone know when Orange are getting the Nokia 5800?
