So my 'upgrade' period has arrived with T-Mobile; I can choose between a £5 monthly discount (by keeping my old phone) or a brand new phone for anywhere between FREE and £369.99 (that one's actually a fancy PDA CoPilot thing).
Out of interest, I decided to look into the feasibility of purchasing my new object of avarice, the Razr2[1] (or V8 if you prefer). Apparently, if I take advantage of their very generous upgrade deals, I could acquire one for as little as £119.99.
That's a reduction of a whole ten pounds from the pay as you go deal. Amazing!
I think I'd do better to go for the £5 off, wait a few months for the price to fall, get a PAYG and switch the SIMs around...
[1] Yes I know it's got a crappy interface and low specs and is generally rubbish, but it's pretty and I want one.

Date: 2008-04-16 04:49 pm (UTC)Ed, who has, I would hazard, spent less over the last 12 months than I did in the 12 months before my upgrade, but who has not been on the 50% discount scheme, got the N95 for free (I believe) when he upgraded.
Are you on flext yet? If not, seriously consider it - with the 50% off it's VERY tasty, and I have never come close to using it all (yes, even with the horrific abuse my phone got when Ed still lived in Newcastle, I've never used it all), meaning that for the first time in *years* I actually know how much I'm going to spend each month.
