T-Mobile Retentions

becominganobsessivesaver

I'd only been with them 12 months and was paying£30 per month through a dialaphone cashback deal. Didn't have to haggle too much, in factbwhen they said the offer I had to get them to repeat it several times as I was convinced there was a catch!!!

I have been offered today a htc touch 2 with 100 mins and unlimited texts for £5 per month for 24 months. they wanted £10 for the cost of the phone itself. What do you guys think of that? Dont know too much about the phone itself?

Cheers

Personally I think at £5 a month thats not 'arf' bad.
Depending on which HTC touch it is (assuming its the older model) its worth around £100 (Amazon) so you could always flog it & get another if you were desperate.

Its worth having a scout around a couple of review sites like Techradar .com to see if it suits..
My husband has the HTC hero and whilst it has its bugs its a pretty solid & decent phone (his words) - seems HTC have a reasonable presence atm and getting decent reviews.

Hope this helps

Took up the Iphone contract, not very happy that they do not include voicemail in you allocated minutes. Does anyone know if you also get charged for calling T-Mobile? Also on first bill have been given an extra 100 minutes free, has anyone else received this? if so do you know if it will happen every month?

Might be worth checking your online account to see if its a free bolt on
My initial thought was it was part of the way they've connected you and applied the billing window
i.e 100mins for 1st - 7th and then you've paid in advance from 8th - 7th following month (or whatever your billing date is, they bill you for the first few days of connection then a month in advance)..

Hope this offer is okay- let me know what u guys think

I was on Flext 35 at 35 per month with free evening and weekend calls. however i was only using around 300 mins and around 400 texts, so this was a big waste of money. Contract just ended. they offered me

300 mins anytime, unlimited texts, free evening and weekend calls (as i had this perk before), Nokia 5800 Chrome (comes with unlimited music downloads for 1 year), plus 3 GB internet for first year (to allow for music downloads) then 1 GB internet for second year.

price is 20 pounds per month. im wondering if i should be getting a better phone? ive been with them for 4 years-ish.

Tmobile has always charged me for voicemail. but its free to call tmobile by dialling 150 from your handset.

Hi,
You can get around paying for voicemail by dialling your own number, which T-mobile will recognise as any other cross net call.Therefore you don't get charged.
Hope this helps

No they still wanted £10 for the phone itself. I see that play are selling the phone sim free for £270 so doesnt seem too bad value.....
