T-Mobile Retentions

Currently on a 18 month contract, £30 a month with the HTC Hero, 800 minutes, unlimited texts and "unlimited" internet.

Phoned them up wishing to continue my contract via a "Flext" contract if they still offered it, been offered 18 months at £35 a month with the HTC Desire HD for free - comes with £180 of credit to use a month and "Unlimited" internet - Is this a good deal?

Edit:

The phone will be used to phone France / 08 numbers a bit while no texts will be used and nowhere close to 800 UK minutes, hence the want for Flext

Extra Edit:
If it was possible, I'd also be very happy to transfer to sim-only for a few months or delay getting a handset until there were a few newer ones out as I won't need it until September anyway.

The Flext is a good deal if it works for you - As they dont offer Flext anymore im not sure if you can move it over to a SIM only contract?!

The phone seems to be a popular choice and is the HD version so easy to sell and get a phone you want when new ones come out.

Didn't think they offered Flext anymore either, then I found this:

just made the first of many calls, been offered Htc wildfire, motorola defy or galaxy ace for £10 p/m 24months or £15 p/m 18mnths, 100 mins, unlimited text/internet,

cs guy said the desire hd would be over £25 per month and not worth paying for as phone used so little (he had a point)

will have to look into these, any opinions on the handsets ?

have to add, CS chap was very very good - if a little patronising about which handset to go for !

Wow, wish I could get a offer like that....

Anyone know whats the deal with the Fair Usage Policy reduction and upgrades/renewals.

I am currently on the 3gb allowance and get half price line rental through friends and family on T-mobile, which usually means negotiating is a little tougher.

I am due an upgrade next month, so was wondering can I renew on the same contract and keep my 3gb allowance (use the phone for tethering so need to keep this).

I thought tethering was against the Fair Usage Policy anyway?

quantize

As long as you stay within 3gb I was told its fine on the Android contracts.

At the end of the day, they cant work out where the phone is sending the data

Thats good to know, havent tried tethering yet myself but will do soon.
