Upgrading to IPhone4
Have came to the end of my current 18month contract with orange and am going to go for the new iPhone, I have seen the tarriff I want however it is 45 a month (although I may get 10% line rental discount).
My question is really is it worth phoning orange to get the new phone and trying to negociate a bit or will they not be willing to give me it any cheaper because it is the new iphone? |

Correct. Don't get your hopes up for the 10% discount to be applied either.

If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.

£45pcm? Ouch.
Why do you want that? Is it for the allowances or to drive down the cost of the phone? Have you considered changing networks? If so, have a read of this: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/cheap-iphone |

I have looked at other networks however I need unlimited texts and for me with orange the one with unlimited texts works out £45 a month and £29 for the handset or something ike £40 a month and £80 for the phone. I am strugging to find a good deal at the moment though.
Edit: And depends how many minutes you need. The Orange deals you are looking at are £1,049 or £1,109 over the 2 years. The tesco deal would be £829 over 2 years and as it is a 12 month contract you could reduce the £20 per month by shopping around at the end of the contract. |

It would be even cheaper and free(er?) to buy an iPhone 4 on PAYG and use a 30-day sim-only contract,

Did you look at the link Matt posted? The Tesco 12 month contracts from £20 per month include unlimited texts. Just a question of whether you are able and willing to pay a lot upfront.

Only a mug would pay £45 a month for a personal contract.
