Which new contract? Fed up with O2

[DynaMight]

As title really, I've just tried to upgrade to the K800i and have been told I'd need to pay £80 basically because my Online 200 @ £30 a month isnt good enough to warrent them to give me the phone for free, dispite them offering it free for new Online 200 customers.

They would only budge £5 discount p/m on the line rental too! So I got their cancellations dept address and they're sending me through a pac code. He said once I give this pac code to the new provider it would automatically cancel the O2 acct? Is this correct?

So what to do next? Been looking around the usual suspects and found that most of them offer the K800 for free on contracts from £20 upwards plus free SMS/Mins etc but I'm not to fussed about anything over 50-100mins and 50 SMS but I would be interested in a large amount of GPRS bandwidth...

T-Mobile offer Web n Walk for £7.50 p/m extra which looks ideal but currently dont offer the K800 on that package, I spoke to them and they said it'll be a few weeks.

Any other companies offer a similar thing?

P.S. I'll be selling the phone and using the Sim in my O2 XDA Mini S, which reminds me. which of them actually lock the phones?!

Yeah I tried my best, Lady passed me through to a 'special dept' who were the ones who basically offered me the £5 off the line rental, I asked all the questions about why do new customers get better offers, why dont they want to keep existing customers. Even said I would stay if I could only get the phone for free, asked for the PAC code as a last resort and he just said it would be sent.

I've got it now too, Gonna have a good hunt around on Sat.
