Three are very generous with their upgrades, once your with them, they will virtually offer you anything to stay, when we were trying to cancel my OH contract he was on a £25 a month contract with a lot of minutes, txt & data & they offered him any phone he wanted plus a laptop or a £200 Curry's Voucher for a further 2 year contract on the same tarriff......great offer if we could still get service. I also returned a phone to them which I didn't like once I got it as an upgrade because I didn't like it and was able to select another model, they will basically do anything to keep you.aruif wrote:no i like o2 but i currently only p*y £15 a month for my iphpone. If I "upgrade" with them they're not offering me anything for staying with them... it will cost me £203 for the new phone and they want £32 a month for 24 months with less for the £32 than i get for my £15 that i currently p*y! so over 2 years they want £971 (or £40.45 a month if you consider the cost totally spread).
three will give me the same phone for £69 and monthly £35 with more than enough mins, texts and data, much more than o2!! and would be a total of £909 over 2 years. That's £62 saved
if i could afford to b*y the phone outright i could keep my current tariff and it would cost a total of £870 over 2 years a saving of £100! ... plus I can leave at any time should a better sim only deal come about as i'm already out of contract on this tariff.
i use my phone a lot! i'm nervous of entering a 24 month contract with a different smart phone as i don't trust they will last and in the long run will see me stuck without a phone like has happened pre- iphone. :/
that's why i was asking about Three, cos i could do with saving any money possible!
