    Depends on if you go over you £13 a month? How long you want it over and which phone you want?

    If you're never going over £13 then your chances are remote. Even 24 months at £13 is only £312, that hardly covers the cost of the handset never mind the extra data you want.

    You can try asking for your pac code and see what they'll offer to keep you, but if you're only bring them in £13 a month they'll most likely just give it to you unless you're prepared to stump up some ££ for the handset to keep the monthly cost down ??

    I think the best option would be the HTC Wildfire S. It's usually £49.99 on 24mth £15p/m with 100 minutes, unlimited texts and 250mb data. You could always try and see if they can bring it down in price. But realistically, that would be the only HTC to aim for.

    Thanks, Jon.

    I phoned them out of curiosity. They can keep me on £12.50/mth with 200mins, Unltd text and 250MB but will charge me £66 for the Wildfire.

    The deal I want is available at CPW http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/buy/HTC-WILDFIRE-DO15T-FCON (24mths isn't a problem for the right deal).

    but Orange don't seem to want to offer me this direct. Its looking increasingly like cancelling the outgoing Orange contract and taking up a new one through CPW and get £50 Quidco to boot. Very odd situation.

    I have now slept on it and done a bit more searching. I found on Topcashback a cashback deal of £60.60 to upgrade through Carphone Warehouse which gives me the £15 deal for a Wildfire with 100mins, Unltd text and 250MB. Exactly what I wanted and I'm £60 up, assuming TCB payout.

    S2 £240 (OOS) or Sensation £236
    200min
    unlimited texts
    500mb data
    £10/month on 18 months contract

    I was offered the Samsung Galaxy S2 for 24 months

    £149.99 for the phone
    £15 per month

    300 mins
    Unlimited texts
    500 MB Data

    I did ask if they could do a better offer but they said they couldn't. I would like to do the £124.00 deal if possible. How did you go about getting offered this deal luckwudaveit?

    The system generates the prices based on your spend over the last few months, that why people get different offers. . .

    I just rang and asked for there best offer to keep me and the deal offered was £249 for the phone. So i asked to be put through to the cancellation team as i wasent happy with the deal.
    They then offered me the above deal with 200 mins a month then said we will also give you an extra 200 mins free. But i just rang and the phone is out of stock but they are keeping the deal on file fo when the phones are back in stock.
