    Thanks for that.

    Phoned them on way home and managed to get all data costs refunded as I said that it was part of my contract. When the guy checked and said I was out of contract I asked why they hadn't contacted me to discuss renewing it like they normally do ;)

    He said that was unusual and had a look before saying he would refund all the data costs :j

    He then suggested speaking to the loyalty dept and got offered the same as I was one previously

    400min
    300text
    500mb data
    unlimited landline

    £18/month
    18 month contract

    with a choice of various phones inclduing

    Motorola Atrix (he was really pushing this one)
    HTC Wildfire S
    Samsung Ace
    SE Neo/Ray



    Dont know anything about phones these days - currently got a battered SE W995.

    Any thoughts?

    I had the older Bold, 18 months, 400 mins and u/l texts, email etc. for the same amount.

    I thought with the cost of the BB9900 it wasnt a bad price?

    If you log on to your account, it should tell you whether you can upgrade yet, if you can then ring up and ask them what they can do. I was on Dolphin 25 and they said it was £199 for the handset if I stayed on that contract!

    doesn't look bad at all - just trying to judge it against what I was offered (posted above).

    when i spoke to orange i have been with them for 18 months they stae that it depends on how long people have been with them in respective of the discoun that they canoffer at renewal

    i have been withthem for 18 months and they have offered me

    samsung s2 for £106

    600 mins and un texts and 1gb web for £20 per month

    have some people been able to get the cost of the phone free due to the amount of years that they have been with orange

    i might take the offer but have been told that i will have to pay for the phone upfornt and they wont add it to my next bill

    I got the S2 free yesterday, i've been with orange for about 3 years.

    I also got 150 mins, unlimited texts and 1gb for £20 a month. It's not many mins, but more than enough for what I use. I was paying £30 a month before, but had 250 mins then.
