I think Orange may be a goer

I work for Orange and the only thing I hate about them is that if you need to speak to customer services, you press about 10 options before you get thru to them, and some of the call centre staff, the ones based abroad, don't fully understand your query, but in store, almost all of my customers that come in with some kind of complaint, are angry as a result of somthing they have done, and if Orange have screwed up, they generally make as much effort as possible to sort it
customer service can be good or bad in any company, as it always depends on who you speak to, if you ring up and someone isn't helpful, hang up and call back, u rarely speak to the same person twice anyway

Want to sort me out with a good deal on orange

lol, I haven't been able to give my friends discount as everyone wants it and I can't give to one and let down another
but remember the tariff is more important than the handset, so if you only need a lower tariff, don't go on a higher one to get the phone free, the saving goin on to a lower tariff will more than colver the up front cost of the handset if it isn't free

Looking at the 24month extra plan at £45 a month with handset cost at £29.00

Wow that's £1100 over the course of the contract - how much are iPhones generally worth after 2 years (assuming you look after it well)?

remember that £45 pm gives you the mins txts mms data and tethering etc each month too, now I know people don't use all of this but split the costs and see whether its less
ie, a sim only deal (doesn't matter which network) with as many mins texts etc (or as close as possible) and then add the retail price of the phone
i've not looked at these costs but I imagine the saving isn't as much as you'd expect

yea but the line rental is most likely £25 a month so phone would be £480 not £1100

purplewitch I've worked my way round all of the mobile phone companies for the second time now and I'd have to say they are all much the same in the end .... customer service in this country is pretty much non existent and staff training is as much of a myth as Bigfoot..... please no-one get me started on our national landline supplier either lol
OOooo i dunno, shall we say BT
