    Depends on network, how long you've been with them, how much you spend, etc. There are some good deals for the Hero on Orange and Tmob for new customers you might want to consider.

    Re: Mobile phone upgrade


    My dad has Nokia 6500 Slide at the mo and he asked for an upgrade but the guy said we'll increase the charge and then offer you a better phone. My dad said no so they refused. If you've been a customer for a long time then they might offer you the phone without changing anything.

    Tell them i've decided to join T-mobile if they become stubborn.

    Re: Mobile phone upgrade

    What I do is I ask for an amazing deal. When they say 'no.' - I say 'ok well I guess I will have to go to your competitor xyz.' Usually at that point they transfer you to the retention dept, this dept can give you awesome deals. If still not getting anywhere ask for a supervisor. That's how I got a free blackberry :P

    well you can look for other competitors and if they are really providing cheap offers then its not being manipulative anymore.

    Everyone does it. Depends if you really have seen good offers which your network is not providing.

    Re: Mobile phone upgrade

    Salaams,

    It depends on what sort of phone your looking for and what tariff you want to go for did you say your with 3? i have not heard positive things about them so i don't know.

    I am with orange on a contract the tariff I've got you probably may or may not get i get 900 any network, 300 text mess, and unlimited land line calls for free all this for £17.50 but i only got this because i threatened legal action against them so they well lets just say i won my case. What i do know is if you give in your old mobile, on your contract they knock off some money from your monthly bill this can come to something like £3.50 or even more which i think is good. This includes line rental and something for the old mobile. Just shop around try to do a deal with them only on your terms don't let them fob you off.

    Hope the above was some use????

    Re: Mobile phone upgrade

    the iphone is too much...im only a student

    with the HTC hero i will pay 25 quid a month and get 500 mins and unlimited internet and texts

    but i doubt 3mobile will offer this to me as an upgrade...they only offer a limited selection and force you to choose a wacky phone unless i become very manipulative and i can never do that im not good at it...id be laughing instead of being serious

    Re: Mobile phone upgrade

    3 offered me a great deal, to upgrade they halved the price of my plan and gave me a great new phone.
    Its a good deal but i regret it as 3 are a nightmare to talk to when i call. I will not get another upgrade with them!

    Re: Mobile phone upgrade

    bro

    my contract is up for renewal at the mo too. I initally chose sony ericsson w995 coz I am a bit hesitant when it comes to touch screen phones. but it was absolutely rubbish. i sent it back after 4 days. so now i too am looking at the HTC hero. Im on Orange and i can get it on my current plan(only a bit cheaper coz i been with them a while now) itll be about £20 with 600 min, unltd txt and unltd browsing! Seems like a good deal to me, but depends on the phone i guess. it really depends what u want out of a phone. what features are important to u?
