Cheapest way to upgrade ?
I generally pay £30 a month to orange and upgrade at the end of the contract , but usually have to pay at least £100 for the new phone , how come others get free upgrades ? If I wanted a K800i , what's to stop me buying one from argos mid contract and inserting my sim into it , also what are the disadvantages of moving to payg

You may want to try the Virgin Mobile deal at £10 per month you get 300 mins and 300 texts but you have to take a Virgin Media service. The mobile contract is only a 30 day one which means theres no 12/18 month committment but you only get a sim card.
Other companies like Vodafone have Sim only deals too. |

Depending on how much you use your phone PAYG is generally more expensive.
People get free upgrades by asking for them. doing their research and saying to their network 'if i went here i could get this for this much...' and the network offer a better deal. |

I was in pretty much the same position as you. I was on a rubbish deal, with around a £30 a month bill. I phoned them up, went through the options 1,4,3, whatever... to get to the "thinking of cancelling your contract". They gave me a new Sony 850i (I think, the walkman one), plus 500 minutes, 100 texts, for £15 a month.
Ask them for the PAC code because you've been offered 750 minutes and 300 texts for £17 with 3, and they'll offer you loads of stuff to stay

I'm not too sure if you can get the offer if your in a non cabled area although you might be able to if you sign up to the old Virgin.Net service. |

The house im moving into in the Uk has a virgin telelphone and broadband and cable service already, therefore dont think i'll be able to avail of the offer.
Their other offers dont really impress me tbh. I reckon 150mins and 200texts a month would do me, I want to pay as little for that as possible! |

I'm glad it worked
It sounds like you were/are in exactly the same position as I was/am. Now if you know anything about getting good broadband deals we'll be square
