Orange Upgrades, stupid!

[lozza]

I'm out of contract with orange now and i can upgrade my hand set to a nokia N70 for £279.99 tying me into a new contract or

I can cancel my contract and signup again on the same price plan and get the N70 for £49.99 - down side i loose my number, but thats no big deal to me.

How the hell does that work! You think they'd look after existing customers!

Same yep got my PAC code shortly after as well, I'm not bothered about keeping the number so i'm going to have a look around to see whats on offer else where

You sure I didn't serve you earlier? Had someone in work today with the exact same predicament. I suggested if their number wasn't a big deal to get a new contract.

Yes it's silly I know :/ I had the same problem when it came to renewing. Worked out a lot cheaper to just get a new contract than stick with the same company.

You may well have done, spoke to three women today, one about changing my service plan after i got a letter saying

"With your plan you decide how many talk minutes, text and photo messages you need each month. if you don't use them all in one month don't panic, they'll roll over to the next month"

But thats not strictly true lol, i wanted to loose 1500 texts to gain some anytime Xnetwork minutes, but they wouldn't allow it nor would they allow my unused texts to roll over.

She passed me onto another in upgrade and then i spoke to someone in retentions.

Dolph, never thought about it that way - makes sense!
