    i've been offer the following..

    w890i
    600 xnet mins
    unlimited texts

    £30 per month

    should i take it or push for more of a discount as i'm already paying £30 for 550mins and unlimited texts...

    if so, how would be the best way to play it now..

    I called up and was told i could upgrade in month 10 of a 12 month contract.
    However, the deal was rubbish.
    They wanted £99 for a phone that is free to new customers.
    The guy suggested i wait til near the end of my 12 months and id probably get it for free.
    Has anyone esle had a good deal in month 10?....should i try again or wait?

    Ive been with Orange a while and in May after a bit of haggling I managed to get

    - Nokia N95
    -500 minutes to all numbers
    -200 text messages

    for £15 a month on an 18 month contract

    was more than happy with this and have pretty much fallen for the phone - so much so I reckon I will keep it next time round and use that as a bartering tool to my advantage.;)

    called them back and said they won't be offering me anything better.. something about they can't change an offer they've already made which is bol****s.. i'll be calling them again at the end of the week asking for my pac code me thinks..

    Hi,

    My contract is up with Orange - currently on the Dolphin 35 package which gives you 600 mins and unlimited texts (£35/month).

    I rang up looking to upgrade with just a sim only deal and no handset. I asked them if they could match T-Mobile's Just SIM 15 sim only deal which gives 1500 mins (off-peak only) and 800 texts.

    The T-mobile deal suits me better as I am looking for a low cost line rental and off-peak calls (I can use my work phone during the day).

    The guy on the phone said Orange could not match that deal and promptly issued my PAC code.

    I was a little pi**ed off with his attitude and he made no effort in wanting to keep my custom. I'm also a little cheesed off because Ideally I'd like to stick with Orange as I have three Magic Numbers set up on the account.

    What a pack of divs.

    Darren.

    So you have THREE magic numbers, UNLIMITED TEXT and 600 minutes for £35........... They are not the divs I belive that lies on your shoulders. It's a cracking offer esp with a new phone.
    nothing.

    Im on dolphin. 500mins and 500txts a month for £35. I got a call from orange today saying they can offer me 600mins and unlimited txts for £30 a month with either samsung g100 or sony erricson k850i. I told her Im still looking around at other offers. She said she could send out the phone 2day and if i didnt like it i could send it back. I said I didnt want the phone sent out and she told me i could not have the offer then and I would have to wait til my contract finished which is 5th may-strange-why do i have to have a phone sent out and take the offer today and if i dont then no deal.bit like blackmail lol
