Just been offered the following options. First call to retentions with my contract ending today;

HTC Desire HD
600 mins
unlimited texts
500mb internet
5 photo messages

24 months
£16.31 per month
free phone

18 months
£21 per month
£43 for the phone

The 24 month deal seems good, but it's 24 months! He didn't seem to want to budge on the 18 month prices though.

Any thoughts?

Very jealous of these good deals - I'm obviously doing something wrong...!

Out of contract with Orange now and want the HTC Desire.
Been offered this for £23 per month (not incl VAT):

Rang retentions and they said this was the best they could offer unless I went for a different handset. Really want this HTC though!

Any tips on getting a better deal, don't really want the hassle of changing and no great deals seem to be around for new customers elsewhere.
Thanks!

There are no set tips as such! Its all a case of your bargaining power and the person on the other end!

I called Orange on Monday - asked to go on PAYG as my contract ended and I wasn't using up what I had and been paying £35 (Dolphin 30 + data)!!!

I was offered SIM only contract, one month's notice at any time (30-day tie-in) with the following:

Unlimited texts

Asked how much would be data costs with this, as I do connect to internet sometimes, and the guy said - oh, I'll just add tht on for you for free.

So, for £5.11 I now will have:

I wasn't going for a new phone, as I am considering an iPhone, and was going to wait until summer to see iPhone 5. I am very happy to save £30 a month!!!! Maybe I can get the micro Sim for iPhone and keep this deal if I finally decide to go for one.
