Ladygooner Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 In the interests of saving money, I contact 02 to change over to pay as you go since I don't use my mobile so much now. Even though they told me previously that I was on the lowest monthly tariff (?17), to persuade me to stay on a monthly contract they halved my monthly charge to ?8.50 and gave me ?50 credit on my account. Worth a phone call I would say! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3441-02-mobile-phone-contracts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelbourneGr Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Is that ?8.50 forever? Or for the next few months? How long have you been with them for? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3441-02-mobile-phone-contracts/#findComment-107175 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Bloody hell, I pay $40 a month for my t-mobile, but I do use my phone a lot, and get unlimited texts, unlimited web&walk, and a shed load of minutes for that.

Ladygooner Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Keef - put a call into T-Mobile - I bet they will cut your costs if you threaten to cancel your contract.

LostThePlot Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I was regulary paying ?50 month for my mobile with 02, so said I was off elewhere to them. They came back with an offer. "?25 a month for 200 minutes and 100 free text" - Utterly F*ing clueless IMHO ...

Pickle Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I'm with Vodafone, have been for 7 years now - went into a store a couple of weekends ago just to have a look at phones - left with a ?40 credit off my next bill and a brand new whizzy phone that does all sorts of things I don't need (but it's fun). Didn't change my contract as I'm happy with it (?17 a month for 125 any time any network calls, which is plenty for me, and unlimited texts). It's definitely worth calling them or popping into a branch!

Keef Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Just saw that my bank were going to charge me 125 bloody quid at the end of this month! Now I expected, and even accepted some charge this month, but not that. I remembered this thread and called my bank, told them I was planning to close my account and look elsewhere... I was put on hold for 5 seconds before they came back and said they'd reduce it by ?75 Not bad for a 5 minute phone call! :)-D Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3441-02-mobile-phone-contracts/#findComment-108851 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Sorry, just seen that. It was HSBC, been with them since it was Midlands, and have never bothered changing. Have never opened other accounts with them though.Did get ?2k charges back from them last year though, dated back to my student days, and the wild couple of years following!LadyG, I shall indeed get you a large glass of vino!
