Desire (free) £20 a month = result although I would have preferred something shorter than 24 months.

Can anyone tell me what the 'unlimited' internet limit is on the Panther packages. I know 500mb is the limit on the other internet packages but couldn't find the fair usage policy on their website?

I finally decided to upgrade from my sim only contract to a 18 month contract. Prior to this, I have had the 30 day rolling contract for 7 months. Quite satisfied by it, since my credit action plan is starting to kick in I still got 2 years for the default to drop off my file and this is my first contract ever.

£25 a month- 300 minutes, 400 texts, unlimited landline calls. Free HTC Tattoo with it.

I could have tried haggling, but at the end of the day I needed a new phone as my current one has decided to make a habit of turning itself off by itself.

Found it:
Fair usage policies - inclusive benefits are subject to Orange fair usage policies which vary from time to time:

1. Unlimited talk, texts and landlines - 3,000 texts or minutes per month
2. Unlimited email - 500 MB per month
3. Unlimited mobile internet - 750MB per month
4. Magic Numbers - 3 hours per Magic Number per day

HTC Desire- best handset ever.

Been offered 24 months contract, 900 mins, unlimited texts and internet, £27.50 a month BUT have to pay £24.99 for the handset. Not as good as I had hoped for - worse deals ever offered to me by them... although I do have six magic numbers now!

I posted this also on the HTC desire thread

People, i just thought i would update you on the deal i got via orange retentions.Please remember that i have been with orange for 4 years and out of contract about 5 months and paying around £50 per month bill. Anyway i was originally offered the HTC desire for free and then the panther 45 deal for £42.50 per month on an 18 month contract. Anyway after threatening to leave and asking for me pac i agreed on the desrie for £15 fee and panther 45 deal (1200 minutes unlimited tex ,internet, email ,maps and 50 media pics) i got all that for £27.50 per month on an 18 month.I was offered braodband and mobile broadband as part of deals but declined them both because i already have home broadband and a mobile dongle.

That is a very important point, I know I get 1200 minutes and unlimited texts, I use about 3,000 texts so that's superb, but if I use half my minutes I am lucky.

Daggy do you know of any provider who includes 08 numbers in their bundles. I ring 0870/0845 etc all the time and it costs a bomb. Even my doctors is an 0844 number lol. I know there's an app for an iphone saynoto0870, but I dont have the iphone yet - can you install anything on a regular handset to this end? x

Hi, not sure of an App for other phones, but what phone have you got?
If it's android or another type with an App store, you may get lucky.

saynoto0870 is actually a website, so you could just go onit via your phones browser or you computer...

set a bookmark for the search page on yourphone to save data costs (no browsing through all the site options).
