Just on to Singlepoint, and looking for an upgrade from the 8210 I've had for three years to the 6230 that's out at the moment.

Bearing in mind I've been with them for 9 years, I just got quoted £100!

That sounds like a fortune to me? Anybody else upgraded recently?

With Vodaphone at the moment...........

Singlepoint will do upgrade deals. Tell them that you are going to leave because you can get a 7610 free on a new contract with Orange!! I reckon they will give in.

I have just got my 7610 and its a pretty fancy bit of kit.

rich, it depends on your tarriff, I pay £25 per month for the tarrif and when it comes to upgrade i have a pretty good selection free and most of the top ones only cost £20 or so

Yes... any phone I want... Free! Waiting till Tuesday for the new 7610 to be in stock at Liverpool st.

Mind you my bills are normally over £300 a month so best the fookers do look after me! Vodaphone as well!

RichardPON

£33 a month!

I just got a 6220 free upgrade on BT Genie (O2 now), ive been with them 3 years and only spend 30quid a month, so i thought that was quite good.

Rich, i was with vodafone for 10years & singlepoint wouldn't do me a free upgrade or decent tarrif, which was pretty shit. Ended up going to 02.

Top phone choice Porkie, i'm gonna wait till my contract ends in October & get one of them daddies!

I find the best thing to do is to change operators every year, then just transfer the number

RichardPON

I did....... and the useless tosser put me through to the terminations department

Yes... its a poker game mate. They have to believe that you are serious! Also keep going until they send you the forms and send them back to cancel!!!

They will then call to give you a final offer! I've seen this done

When Rachel wanted a new phone they offered the upgrade at £75. She said sahe could get it free by resigning. So she did. We cancelled the ciontract with T-Mobile and opened an account with T-Mobile and got the phone for free.

Hofajoab

i usually end my contract each year and take out a new one with a free phone for an upgrade, sell the old one!

paulp

thats exactly what i do,when the brand new models come out you normally have to pay about 50 quid on top but if you wait a month you can get them free on a new contract

sm

every year vodafone want about 50 quid to upgrade my fone as they say i dont use it enough to qualify for a free upgrade, so i just cancel the contract and get a new contract with the fone i want free been doin this for 4 years now only downside is i have to have a new number each year

cheers kev

porkie is right, i pay circa 100 p/month, recently got the 6230 for nowt, but only after they offered it to me fior 75 quid lol, because "my line rental is only 25 quid thats the figure computer gives"

put through to disconnections, ask y i wanna leave, told them cos wont give me a new phone blah blah, got it within 2 days

Daveyraveygravy

Every year i just change my network and take my number with me by getting my PUK code. I havn't paid for a new phone for the last 4 years!

RANJ

free

Matt

i threatened singlepoint with leaving and said i could get what i wanted for nowt on a new contract, they said fine, i then asked for my code to allow the new providers to port my number to another network and thats when the sales chumps manager rang me back and gave me what i wanted for free

i was looking at £100 too rich

they have to try it on cos i bet theres loads of people who just pay it

Jax

I rang up vodafone on my last upgrade. Bird quoted me 100 for a GX20. Laughed down the phone at her. she put me through to a department called lifestyle where they take into account how long you been with them your bills etc and have the ability to overide the computer. Got the phone for free and half price line rental for six months. I think it depends on who you talk to. Commissions etc.

I did that same thing Matt, told them i was going to 02 as i could get 400 mins free & 400 free txts for £50 a month, & they started telling me that they couldnt beat that & couldn't they contact me in 12 months to see if i want to move back to vodafone. They even started telling me my yearl cost of running that tarriff, & told me id be better off with ther taffif.

Bollocks to that, £50 a month phone bill from £150-£200 a month, gin gan goo, that'll do for me
