Did i do bad??

Pug · 2 Feb 2007 at 11:49

Just gotten off the phone with vodafone retentions team, and haggled (was a proper struggle) for a free k800 on 12months with 500 mins and 500 texts for £40.

did i do good? not sure, but tbh its easier than faffing about with PAC codes.

it depends what you were spending earlier, but thats a pretty standard tariff which can be had in the shop. Check on the vodafone website if there is better, but even though its a standard tariff, its still a good one.

did you get put through to them when you asked for your PAC? I want to move, due to some crappy service, phones failing and generally a poor choice of phones.

If i go to their retentions team i could possibly get a better deal but they don't have any other phones i'd guess?

I'm not up to date on the latest deals but doesn't seem to be that special?

depends on what you want really. i asked for pac code on tues, they said no probs, theyll send it out right away. got a call on wed offering me exactly what i wanted.: - free w950i, 12 month contract, 500 mins, 500 txts, £35 a month

I pay £32 a month with 02 on a 12 month contract, 800 mins/800txt per month and a free k800i.

ideally what i want is an XDA Orbit though (which they won't be able to get). Contract is fine at £15 a month for 100mins and 50texts.

Will have to see what they say.

I did the same thing with Vodaphone, took out an extension on a contract got a K800 and the cheeky sods sent me a refurbished phone. I phoned and spoke to retentions about it. All they said was that i didn't quailify for a new phone (dont spend enough) £60-80 a month and all over Europe.

Just check your reciept M8 make sue its not a reconditiond unit.

So i sent it back and told em to shove it. I took a new contract out with O2 and got a K800 in Silver which lasted 2 days before the White Screen Of Death. Swapped it for a N73 Big Big Big mistake. Great phone but very slow. Now on the second one due to the fact that the charger blew and burnt the phone out literally. due to the fact that the charger blew and burnt the phone out literally. The replacement has never been used

I am now using my old Nokia 6234 unlocked on an O2 contract. 6234 thats a great phone.

would it say refurbished on the receipt then?

Was a little curious as it came in a vodafone branded box, whereas all my previous contract phones have come in a manufacturers box.

Any other way to tell?

otherwise i'm very happy with the phone.

Yes it did come in a Vodaphone box, it said refurbished on the reciept. Only realised this when i read the reciept. plus the battery was as flat as a pancake.

Pug · 7 Feb 2007 at 09:57

my receipt didnt say refurbished, and the battery was ~60% full.

The receipt did say something like k800i RDJ 3G or something...
