Guestimate Upgrade cost for me to get C600?

[Guest Dave_Evans]

Hi guys,

I'm due to upgrade my phone now, and I'm currently paying around £25 to £33 per month on my Orange phone bills (£20 per month + £5 Orange Care + Paid for calls/SMS/GPRS).

When I upgraded from my E100 to my C500, It cost me around £85, but the Orange guy said I could get it for free if I upgraded my account, which I didn't.

If there is a large charge for upgrading, do you think they would cut the price down a bit if I chose to upgrade my account to a Student accountt?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave, welcome to the site!!

Official prices haven't been released but considering your average spend (if you are outside minimum term) then probably £80 ish. Unless you call 150 and select the 'I want to leave Orange' and speak nicely to retentions. Make sure that you have relevant facts (like prices on other networks); be kind but stop short of begging. This could drop the price to £0. Unless you are unhappy with your current contract refuse offers to change.

Even Orange retensions were not interested in me ;)

Then again my rental is about £17 plus insurance and call on top.

Thanks for the reply,

I'll have to try haggling/trying to get it down, but I'm a bit of a usless talker, and I'll end up being walked all over knowing me, as I know I'm getting a bit of a pants deal at the moment I think, as I'm paying £20 per month for 30 minutes and 30 texts.
