Orange good deals

Having hunted on the net for a good deal on an orange mobile, guess where I found the BEST deal........THE ORANGE SHOP.......der?

Yeah 6months 1/2 price direct from orange so no naffing about with cashback t&c's designed to catch you out! You only pay 1/2 price to start.

And the killer was if I handed in an old brick of a mobile, a previous c520 in my case, I had £100 credited to my bill, so equivalent to another 6 months at 1/2 price.........so I'm WELL pleased.

Anyone know of a better deal, that I missed?

It was your plan 200 at £15/month for 6 months a Sony ericcson k750i free and £100 credit to account.

    It finishes today in my city, dont know if it were nationwide anyway. Perhaps it was just a local offer to attract the uni freshers, to stop them going to 3.All the best mobiles are gone anyway,and they wont sign you for a mobile they dont have to beat the deadline.

    It was'nt a well publicised deal, it was an A4 black and white printed notice stuck to the official ORANGE shop window, and it started last tue and I was told it was gonna finish today, perhaps a pilot for a nationwide campaign maybe????????

    Finishes "maybe" today in the Orange shop I went to today. It may be on tomorrow they don't know!

    Have to agree with you as no good phones available. No signing up either. Pity really as I would have taken the SE w800i, T750i or Nokia 6680. Still £50 to be given back if you hand in a working handset afterwards though - if you still want the tariff. I didn't realise either that it doesn't include any texts although you can buy a bundle of 60 for £4 each month.
