Looking for a new phone...

[Rich]

Got a feeling that Mark (united) will be the man to speak to about this one.

Im looking for the Samsung B2100 solid extreme phone (sim free), any ideas for the place to go for the best price?

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Best price! - You are not going to buy one are you - I thought they were part of the package!
My phone is up for updating in July so I will have to start looking.
The one I have now is a Sony Ericsson C905 so I want another that's good for photos.
When United comes on he might advise me as well (even though he's in Sunder...):lol:

I have to provide my phone TJ the tariff I'm on is OVP, not PAYG or contract, it's tht good that Orange closed it to new customers some years ago. Only downside is that I haveto buy the phone

 

[mikethetile]

I buy my phones too

Yeah I want to buy one and go pay as you go. Sick to death with phone contracts, I keep paying through the nose for a swanky phone that does everything, being tied to an 18 month contract and breaking the thing in a few weeks. The Samsung B2100 is designed for builders. Its dust, water, shock and idiot proof and If I go with Tesco mobile and set up a direct debit of £15 per month I get £65 worth of credit. It has to be better than spending £50 per month min.

I bought a supermarket pay as you go to use to ring out on as I keep breaking phones

everything was fine I just kept it charged and used it from time to time

broke my phone again and switched over to the payg :yikes:

I couldnt believe how often I had to top up, it cost more than a contract phone

I quickly bought a new phone through 02

im like Doug I just pay for the airtime but have to pay for my own phone

Hmmm... Thats interesting Doug. Im just about to leave orange, I asked them what they could offer me to stop me leaving and they didnt impress me at all. Any Idea what Id have to ask for to get this magical deal?

I would guess you would be looking at paying about £80 for this but I'm not really sure where would be best to get it from. You could try the high street stores but most wouldn't sell Sim free as they make no money doing that. I would say ebay used to be good for phones but not sure what it's like now.

I don't think it's available at all now, unless you've already got it

I think your right, Orange only did OVP or Orange value promise for select customers a few years ago. Basically they would give you any tariff you wanted from any network, rename it OVP and give you it for life just to keep you.

I don't know what will happen over the next 2 years as Orange and T Mobile are merging to become one network (well orange are really rescuing T Mobile)
