We can exclusively reveal the launch prices for the C500, and they're stunning!

The C500 will launch in Orange shops very soon, and will be available (initially in Black), at a bargain price of FREE for everyone paying £25 or more per month!

:shock:

This fantastic price also applies to users upgrading out of contract - go ORANGE! biggrin.gif

For those on cheaper contracts the phone will cost £79.99, and although a £179.99 price point for PAYG has been rumoured, we have not had official confirmation of this, and it is unlikely to be available in PAYG form at launch.

what does 'user upgrading out of contract mean?'

does it refer to users of other networks?
people who havent had their phone for 12 months? [crosses fingers]
people upgrading before contract ends, ie with an extra fee to pay?

It means people who have had their phone more than 12 months.

Users who have had their phone less than 12 months will incur additional charges up to £100 I believe.

Ok, so I've had my contract for 6 months now, and it's on a £15pm contract, so that would mean to upgrade, it would cost £179.99 to get hold of a C500, yeah?

The upgrade fee is variable, to be sure phone OCS on 150, but yes, the phone will cost £79.99 on top.

Correct, Orange shops have been told it is 'In Testing' (lol) and due for delivery this week.

These dates are notorious for slippage of course...

coolsmartphone have links to fonetastic - where on the £25/month tarrif, as well as the phone being free, you get £75 Cash Back (Ker-ching!)


Not sure I would want to buy from them, but it might be a good bargaining tool.

Alternative is to buy from an orange shop who have some good incentives too:
My local one is offering (as credits to your bill):
£50 tradein for any old handset -as long as it works - my wifes dodgy old Moto springs to mind wink.gif
£75 bring a friend to Orange - shared between you

I'm well happy with that, I was prepared to take out a new contract biggrin.gif

Im sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have been wondering about this for some time now :oops:

How do I go about to buy a C500, without getting the Orange contract? Or maybe it's not possible? I can live with it being locked to Orange, it's possible to unlock it here in Norway....I think? :roll:
I know it's gonna be released as qtek 8010 where I live, but I'd rather buy the Orange version, and we dont have orange in my country sad.gif

I have heard about people in the states who use unlocked E200, so there must be some hope..lol

What do I do?
