Is this a good deal...?

bradisace · 18-05-2009, 21:26

Hi I just want peoples opinions on whether this is a good upgrade deal or not by T-mobile:

Flext 35, 18 month contract, (new version - £180 allowance but now includes some 0845, 0870 and 0800 numbers)
Half price discount for life - £17.50 a month
Web and walk booster for free (usually £12.50 a month)

however if I want the Google G1 phone in white I will have to pay £96.

Is this a good deal? When I first heard I would have to pay that much for the phone I was put off however after thinking about it I dont think its that bad.

Thanks in advance

er well youre saving 540 quid over the contract and being asked to pay a one off for the phone? Bit of a no brainer for me.

Wow - how did you get offered that deal? There's nothing like that on their website.

bradisace · 19-05-2009, 20:35

Its not an offer on their website it is because I am an existing customer.

I know that I am saving a lot of money on line rental but it just seemed like a lot of money to pay up front for the handset. I have been a customer of T-mobiles for 3 years now, so would of maybe expected more of a discount on that basis.

Yeah, some 08 numbers do now come from your allowances, but not at the normal rate - up to twice as much. However, it's better than having to pay for them 'out of allowance'.

I'm an existing about to renew/upgrade/run away.

They wanted £200+ for a new phone to stay on the same tariff which is more per month than your offer !!!!!!

I would snatch their hand off for your offer.......now, how do I get them to offer it to me ?

I would say that is a very good deal. Much better than mine, I think.
