Guest Pondrew Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 When people say free on contract over £25 or £180 on PAYG - what does that make me with my £17.50 everyday 50 contract? £180? If you're planning on upgrading it'll likely be best part of £100... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest barrybryce Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 If you're planning on upgrading it'll likely be best part of £100... Thanks! I know it's £100 for the E200, wondered if the C500 would be more. Only thinking of upgrading as the battery on my SPV is kinna dying (£20-35ish guessing?), they phoned me earlier to say they can't fix other probs without replacing the phone (£15 admin fee), and I broke the handsfree earlier (Another £15 maybe?). Think it'll be worth getting a nice new one at £100! (It would be silver, but I doubt I'm a premium customer!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pulse Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 On my current contract, I have 6 months left (from buying the E200).. If I upgrade for £100, does that mean the 12 months start again? Also, do I keep the E200 aswell? Because that'd be cheaper than getting it on PAYG.

Guest fozzie Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 If only things were that simple! Unfortunately what barkythedog hasn't mentioned is the fact that Orange will want you to pay off the remaining 6 months line rental of your existing contract in one lump sum!

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Er no, if you pay the 100 quid upgrade fee, you don't pay off the rest of your contract. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fozzie Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Is that a recent change then? You used to be able to upgrade if you were just inside your contract end date for an extra fee but 6 months inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Er, that 100 quid upgrade fee is effectively 'buying out your contract' isn't it... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I understood that in many cases, although not all, there was an upgrade fee within contract on top of a price for the handset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
