Haggling
Hi.
I'm trying to find the cheapest pay monthly phone deal, and after much searching thought I'd found it. That was until I noticed Virgin Mobile don't offer 4G for non business customers. My question is: Will new network providers offer better than advertised deals? In the past I have haggled with my existing providers, but have never haggled with new providers. I just don't want to ask (for example) 02 for a better than advertised deal if that's taking the pxxx. Thanks |

I would always try. The worst they can say is no.
Having said that, there's not a lot of reason for them to give you a better deal than others because for every you there are probably 100 customers who will pay the advertised price. |

If I could be content with 3G, I could get the phone im interested in for aprox 10 quid a month cheaper than anywhere else with Virgin Mobile. I've never used 4G. |

Ok, I've narrowed down the cheapest monthly deals to Virgin Mobile and Tesco Mobile.
Although im sure both companies will be frowned upon a little here, can anyone tell me which of the 2 would be the better choice? From what I've read, the following appears to be the biggest factor between them: • Virgin has better network coverage but no 4G until October. • Tesco has 4G but not very good network coverage. Cheers |

You could always look on phoneslimited.co.uk they show the cheapest prices for most networks and are usually a lot cheaper than direct.

Thanks for that. Phoneslimited showed the 2 Virgin and Tesco deals, so think it'll still be between them. Yeah I can probably wait for 4G as I've survived until now without it, although I have been using a horrible phone that can't really cope very well with 3G. A brand spanking new phone might be crying out for 4G.
