Great Value SPVs, great service, and support the forum!

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

MoDaCo SmartPhone have teamed up with Talking Concepts to offer SPVs to members at great prices.

We are paid a small commission for each handset connected, which helps pay our hosting costs, so please buy your SPV here!

Talking Concepts are backed by one the countries most popular high street stores, and so have stock levels that are second to none.

Purchasing from Talking Concepts will also entitle you to preferential pricing on phone unlocking, when we offer this service in the future (watch this space!)

Thanks guys,

I recommend them! Good fast efficient service! I just ordered mine today after emailing them and I got a return phonecall within an hour, been played around by 3 other phone companies since November till now....Damn.

Finally getting it Monday or Tuesday

[Guest sid]

could you give me more details about the unlimited gprs package please

[Guest TalkingConcepts]

The promotional unlimited GPRS access pack alows you to use unlimted internet and email for just £6.00 per month. It is compulsary to have this option when buying an SPV - Mind you, it wouldnt really be worth buying the phone without it!

[Guest cvdbl]

Are SPV without service contract available through this channel? If so, what would be the cost?

Thanks,

C.

I have been trying desperatly to buy an orange spv phone since october 28th, but no luck as yet, it seems that orange never released the phone at all, or are out of stock all the time on their website, but yet others seem to have managed to get them!!! how ?? and where ?

I would prefer the sim free version if possible. :cry:

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

PM the user 'TalkingConcepts' they have stock, and can source SIM Free units too.

I got mine from Orange in november just paid £99 for it :( but I do have a cheep monthly tarif ( the 30 free min one) so as I don't use the phone much due to not contracting anymore it suits me fine :D

http://www.etccomms.co.uk has an Orange SPV on various tariffs but the cheapest one that I have found is £89.99 for the phone and £12.99 for the line rental (Orange Value Promise - Vodafone 20). That works out to be about £245.87 for the first year (excluding any extras and talk-time).

[Guest almark]

Don't forget the GPRS £6 per month deal

which brings it up to £317 per year.

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

Err no the £6 GPRS deal is until 30th April so then how much you are going to pay

is up to you.

[Guest almark]

I haven't bought one yet! Still thinking about it.

So the unlimitied deal is only up to April and then you choose a tarrif:

"The purchase of the SPV phone is subject to connection to the SPV promotional pack. It provides 10MB web browsing a month, email and access to a great range of information and entertainment services (terms and conditions apply) and costs £6 per month on top of your existing Service Plan. The pack can be purchased until 31st March 2003 and runs until 30th April 2003. At the end of the promotional period you will automatically be changed onto an equal or lower priced GPRS bundle with a megabyte cap."

I think the cheapest one will be £4 per month, with a mere 500k download allowance!

[Guest wolfe]

I live in Boston, and I just bought an SPV for myself.

Talking Concepts was great at talking me through what I was going to get, and making sure that the phone got out to me!

I would definitely order from them agian...

[Guest Megalos]

hello Paul

I have send a pm and waiting for an answer has newbie pls :)

[Guest simon11]

I Had one and took it back. Battery life terrible with no off position for the backlight. Plus other bugs. Hanging etc. etc. Thought I might get one after the English update if it fixed the bugs. After finding out the price of GPRS after the offer I am now not going to bother at all. The phone is only worth having with unlimited access.

I am going to stay with O2 I only pay £15.00 a month with 100 free minutes. I will probably buy the Erricson p800 when I can get one. At least the Erricson comes bug free I believe and dose a darn sight more.

Microsoft want to pull their finger out with such crap software!

Did I read your stock level wrong. 1x spv?
