Why do Orange keep misleadingly call 500mb "UNLIMITED":mad:

I'd be interested to know why you found the HTC Touch disappointing .....I was thinking of that as an upgrade to my spv m700.

Did you upgrade yet? Interested to see what you make of the Touch if you have.

Very happy so far with the Blackberry.

Hello all.

Does anyone know if they are offering the 'Sony Ericsson C905'?
I've been with Dolphin 35 for the last 19 months, haven't had an upgrade.
I'm paying far too much at the moment, I need 400 minutes tops. Unlimited texts would be nice. Don't need data usage at all.
Anyone think I could get the phone for free and knock my bill down by a fair bit?

Just go to another provider and see if they can match the offer you previously had, if they can good. Then go back to the other one and mention that they have matched the original offer. In theory they have to improve their offer.

I've been on Racoon 35 for the past 18 months, and have just had it knocked down to £25 a month with a free C905, two 8GB memory cards, and 80MB of internet usage. It sounds to me like our situations are more or less exactly the same in terms of our 'credit', so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get exactly the same deal as me.

Was your current tariff a retention deal? Because it seems cheap to begin with. If so, I'd suggest waiting until the final month of your contract.

I've just been on the phone to retentions and have been offered:-
Free Nokia E71
200 Mins
Unlimited Texts
80MB Data

For £10 a month.

What do people think? Should I try to get a bit more out of them?
Also I was initially calling to cancel, so wasn't sure about handsets etc. Do you think I would be offered the same sort of deal with a Nokia 5800 instead? Or is there any other phones that you can suggest. I will probably end up giving the phone to my 11 year old sister so needs to be easy to use, which the E71 is not.
