    Hi,

    DO NOT get a GT505 there's a problem witht eh battery losing it's charge. Orange are aware but are not informing anyone! I'm trying to get another replacement phone but not a LG505!!!!!!

    Ah, thanks. Most reviews I could find about it made it seem a bit rubbish anyway.

    I got offered the LG 520 too, but I went to a shop to look at it today and it just looks a bit...flimsy?! What sort of phone could I ask for in the same sort of price range?
    I generally lurk :0)

    In the same range are, Nokia 2730, 6303, Sony C510. If your lucky, 6700, Samsung S5600 too

    I'm on Racoon 30 websave, paying 28£, just out of 12 months contract. Last December I got this with new HTC Touch HD which did cost me just 7.50£ to upgrade. Was well chuffed. This year no happiness though:
    retentions offered either
    Hero for 79.99£ (well "normal" upgrade price is 149.99£ for me, but just 99£ for new customers taking new 12 months contact) on the same tariff with no extras or
    Nokia 2330 for 18£ (that's 10£ loyalty discount) with unlimited internet.
    I have Orange Unlimited broadband which I pay 5£ and I can't lose it. I have seen several offers with cashback or PS3 which could work out for 10£ or less on 12 months contract but retentions wouldn't bulge on that. Any suggestions as don't really want to lose my number...

    Probably none because it isn't significantly cheaper from Tesco.

  • Hi

    Am I still unlikely to any deal on renewal for an iPhone?

    Orange customer for 15 years, paying about £30 a month (225 mins and 100 texts which I never get anywhere near using, off peak data which I never use since I killed my HTC phone) and one year out of contract. But getting annoyed with texts from Orange saying I am on the best tariff when they have far cheaper ones open to new customers.

    Would carry on paying what I am now, but not prepared to do that and pay out a large fee for a new phone.

    All the best

    It's called customer churn.

    Surely though, if you take the average monthly cost of the cheapest 8gb 3g into account, Tesco cost you £3 more per month, and you've got to pay more than double up front. Not much good if you're a skint student?
