i've had my orange contract since december 08, £25 pm for dolphin (i did get a free nintendo wii!) and orange just called, offering me a new phone. i said i didn't want anything fancy, so they offered me a low range sony (zylo - not the best of phones but i'm not interested in phones aslong as they take and recieve calls) for £17.50 pm with 400 minutes (twice as many minutes as i currently get) for a 24 month contract. i was on the phone for nearly 20 minutes, trying to get the price down more and the saleswoman just wouldn't budge, i wouldn't budge either and no sale was made.
could she have budged? i understand it's a deal lower than what i currently pay but i was thinking that she could've budged some more. i asked if she could do the first 3 months at £15 pm and she said she could not. was i right to hold out or when these people say they can't budge on phones are they telling the truth? i thought she could possibly well have been as it would've been silly of her to let a 24 month contract slip away for sacrifice of £7.50. she said she had discounted as much as she could (based on loyalty) and just couldn't do anymore.
