Guest alang Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I went into my local Orange shop and they charged me £149.99 for an E200 new contract £49.99 + ins. I just talked to onestopphoneshop.com and am having an E200 delivered tomorrow same tarriff for just £34.99 WITH £100 cash back (£50 after 3 months and a further £50 after 6) If my math is correct that means that they are paying me £65.01 to buy the phone from them!!!! :lol: The phone is due to be delivered by courier tomorrow am, i'll confirm when it arrives. My other E200 will be going back to Orange Retail under their 14 day refund promise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rob.P Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I desperately want to upgrade, but I'm not paying £150 odd, One Stop Shop looks like the best deal but I want to keep my old number, so putting the old number on a OVP Virgin Tariff with no line rental and the lady in OCS said I can put a free forwarding from old number to new and the old number will only get charged if I actually use that number to make a call. Currently hovering over the submit button on OneStopShop, until I'm definately sure the above plan will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevewright Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I'm pretty sure the free-forwarding would work, but I'm also pretty sure that it would NOT forward texts. But maybe if you've just been given 2000 free texts you've enough spare to message all your contacts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob.P Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I think I'm pretty much sold on geting one now then, thanks for all your words of wisdom guys, just gotta see if I can get one now "Just ordered... they only have a few left!" Eeekk, sods law they have none left cause I took to long to decide :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest summie Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Rob - I would imagine that there are loads left! There just trying to create a rush in sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob.P Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 ^ Ye I think you are right, just phoned and placed my order, just waiting for Orange to confirm my contract then my phone should be sent out to me £35 either tomorrow or Sat. Not going to go WooHoo! just yet as we have to wait for Orange to confirm (and we all know what Orange are like). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcwarre Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Rob, Dial 330 (orange everyphone) and divert through them. It costs a small amount to ring 330 but the diverts are then free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Emad Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Doesn't it cost anything extra to anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob.P Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Loverly stuff, thanks mcwarre, just gonna wait for the phone to turn up and then will give them a buzz, I take it the forwarding service only forwards voice calls and not texts as well?

Guest Honest John Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Wasn't the free forwarding the now discontinued 330 service? I used it last year when I took out a new contract, but Orange have discontinued it - at least for non-business users. You now have to set it up on your handset and pay for the call. If anyone knows anything different, then full instructions would be appreciated as i have changed my contract yet again. Incidentally with Onestopphoneshop, try looking at the deal for higher tariffs. For example, on a 6100, the difference between a £35 per month OVP tariff and a £45 one is £10 per month to O. But you get an extra £100 off the phone. So if you run it for 6 months then down-tariff, it costs you £60 and you get an extra 600 minutes, but you also get an extra £100 cashback. Net result? A gain of £40 and 600 extra minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcwarre Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Because I set my everyphone up a few years ago it still works. Might be closed to new customers. Why don't you ring 330 and try it? (I just have and it still works for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob.P Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Everyphone still exsists, whether it is still called that or not is another matter, but I did run this idea past an OCS rep and she said that I can forward to another phone for free with Orange, I logged date/time and her name so things will get messy if she was lying to me. [Mcwarre, do your texts get forwarded as well?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcwarre Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Rob, Thats no use. You should get them to make a note on your acct that is the only way u r covered. Have you tried it? Give it a go to put and end to the debate please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dadypain Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 not bad guys, but i managed to get my e200 for free for the same tarrif, but it was from a small orange shop in london Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pukka Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I have just ordered an E200 from Orange. Got an upgrade for £79.99 and they also double my minutes free for a year (120 to 240 Xnetwork anytime) That didn't seem too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeta101 Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Does anyone know if i can upgrade to an e200 from my e100...the main issue is that ive only had my contract since the end of July...all i want to do is "swap" my e100 for an e200 and keep my contract as it is...im obviously gonna have to pay something to do this (if O will actually allow this)...so is this possible, and how much would it cost?

Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 You'll have to buy yourself out of the contract Im afraid - could be costly - but I'd say is worth it - an E-200 =p~ spacecowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Honest John Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Zeta - your 4 months are up so you should be able to down-tariff to the lowest one. I don't know what you are paying at present, but you could find that running two contracts with a Onestop phone on a new contract and keeping yours on a sub£20 per month one would be the cheapest option. You could then sell your old phone without the sim, and keep the original sim for making calls in the E200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
