Orange Retention Offers

They sound like good deals, think I'll take a look. Oh I'm not trying to be greedy with the deal, to be honest I'd be happy with what I'm paying now I just need a new handset due to mine being old/broke/not cool any more :P, lol so shallow . i jsut find it frustrating that while Orange are willing to throw any contract deal at me I wnat, they don't stock any handsets I like. Nevermind, it'll work out always does.

The exact same thing bothers me hugely.
Those deals aren't advertiserd on the site, so make sure you ring up and hold your ground.

What deal are youon at the moment?

Ahh ok, i was having problem navigating around that site on upgrades, thoguh I must be going wrong. I'm just on a standard dolphin 35 (600 mins, unlimited text) with 5% loyalty discount (as standard) which i then use to add unlimited net with. I'm their favourite type of customer lol, go over contract regularly, don't miss payments, have insurance etc so they're literally begging me to stay but just have nothing to offer.

GF is on the same contract as you... also band 5 upgrade (favourite customer).

I never use the Upgrades bit on sites, just ring as you get better deals.

I'm aiming for the Milestone at £25 pm.... What phone do you want?

I basically just want a premium handset so anything like a HTC HD2, Xperia X10 (when it finally comes), likewise with the HTC Desire (both of which I was told 4 weeks back, wuld be available in March, yet tonight, again, they've never heard of them), Milestone, N900 or Iphone which is obviously available but they will do nothing on at all, not even a unlimited text bundle thus making it redundant as an offer. I wouldn't mind if they were just consistent but the guy on the phone tonight suggested I try the carphone warehouse instead?? before telling me tha I'd obviously lose my loyalty if I did that...which would be the same as starting a new contract with someone else, rendering my loyalty worthless. It's jsut like 1 HUGE loop

As far as I know the X10 is due early April, the HTC Desire is launching mid March and the Nokia X6 is due this week, the first two are subject to testing the Nokia is confirmed.

No word on the Milestone, the Nokia N900 or the HTC HD2

Much appriecated DrBesty, if I'd spoken to someone who'd have just said that in the first place, I'd have been more than happy .

here's what I've been offered on attempt 1 (not sure if this was the retentions department though - I pressed the 'thinking of leaving orange' button):

800 cross network mins
300 texts
unlimited landlines
unlimited internet

£25 pm with HTC hero

Seems good? Looking on ebay they seem to be selling for £200-£250 so could sell it and buy and iphone....don't know if there's a more expensive phone I could try and get from them instead.

He was lying in short...
Buymobilephones.net offer a 5% or 10% discount on Orange... depnding on handset, and as you can see from the offers I've had, there are still discountsto be had with other companies if you play it right.

E2 save are part of carphone warehouse....

You can still get phones that Orange aren't selling though... The C905 I have now is the bronze colour which isn't on Orange, I just got it from e2 save.

These handsets don't have the annoying Orange sticker on them and are unlocked so they sell for more if you decide to sell it on too....

You can get the Milestone free on Orange now, just not through Orange
