Due an upgrade but don't want to increase monthly cost - help with negotiating?

[Anonymous]

Hi

So I'm due an upgrade.  I currently have the Samsung Galaxy S2 from ages ago now it seems.  I'd quite like an IPhone (I think).  Haven't had one before.

Anyhow my dilema is this...I currently pay around £27 all in each month on my plan which I don't go over, I don't particularly want to pay for a handset, I've been with O2 forever.  Are they likely to bend the current offer to keep a loyal customer?  It looks like they'll give a free Iphone 5 to anyone on a £37 per month tarriff (far too high for me and my consumption).

Help? (thanks)

All you can do is call 202 and ask, or try upgrading through carphonewarehouse who sometimes offer better deals.

Yeah Dial a Phone have just called me to tell me I'm due an upgrade so didn't know whether O2 are any good at competing with these other guys.

Thanks

Have you seen the Flash Sale, they offering a Sony Xperia Z for £27 a month and the phone is free.

The offer ends today and it's on the home page.

You'll probably find that you can get a far better deal for another Android phne than you will for an iPhone.

But definitley call 202 and ask the question, one of my friends was able to keep her VERY low monthly tarrif last year AND get a free new BlackBerry Curve purely because she called up and asked the question! Give it a go!

Seems a good offer, 600 minutes and 750Mb data.

Last day at that price!
