Guest dez16v Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 Hi all, Just heard from a friend of mine who got the black c500 this weekend. He opted for a £25.00 per month contract etc...when he enquired about the availability of the silver version, he was told that he would need to opt for a more expensive contract to get it. Surely Orange cant do this as the phone is exactly the same!! Has anyone else come accross this, or is it just a case of the sales person trying to get more money out of my friend for a dearer contract? He is very happy with the phone but would have gone for the silver one if it was the same price. dez16v (Jealous mpx200 user) :?
Guest Papa Smurf Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 You need to have the Premium option on the 400, 700 or 1000 tariff for the silver phone. :roll:
Guest Chaser81 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 Silver is only available to Orange "Premier" customers who are on Your Plan 400,700,1000 with the "Premier" bolt on which is an extra £5 a month. Worth it though, as it gives you Care, and upgrade after nine months and a dedicated customer service number as well as 3MB of GPRS every month.
Guest cr0bar Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 Got mine on ebay.. fook orange :lol:
Guest dolbyman Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 well basically if he breaks his phone and gets one replaced it will be silver!
Guest NIGHTMARE Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 Why pay more for a silver one, i have seen both and opted for a black one, it looks the dogs! and before anyone says anything i am on a expensive contract, i suppose its a matter of opinion but the silver looks plasticy like the ols spv's, it makes a real change having black.
Guest dez16v Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 Thanks for all of your replie So they really do want more for a silver one, what a joke!! I have an mpx200 which is black and looks cool, but i was thinking of changing to a silver mpx220 when they eventually arrive in the UK. I really do not see the point of a different contract package just because the phone is a different colour, what are Orange thinking of? If i were to buy the c500 i would want the cheapest line rental deal possible as i am a light user really, but i would have liked the choice of black or silver for the same deal. Whatever next? Perhaps the mpx220 will only be available to Orange customers who already have a contract with them? Cheers anyway dez16v :roll:
