Glad I got the HTC hero now Orange i-phone prices are out!

Hi all,


When I took the HTC hero, Orange told me to hold on as they are going to do an amazing deal on the i-phone.

After getting:

Free HTC hero.
1500 mins (1st year) 2000 min (2nd year)
Unlimited Texts
Unlimited Wifi
Unlimited Land lines
Unlimited Data (was 500mb, but i complained and for free they did it now on 1gb)

Cost me : £ 29 a month. Orange Care £5
Total : £ 34

I phone with orange is :

1200 mins
500 texts
unlimited wifi
750mb Data
£45 a month
Care : £ 14


Total : £ 59 per month !!!!

Now with me and my partner both getting HTC heros and she got the same as me but she also got 1gb per month USB PC dongle for her laptop and got all this for £24 per month!

I am glad I stuck with the HTC hero.....!!

Love the phone!

Ooh that's a bit steep! You'd think it would be cheaper now that the exclusivitey thing with o2 has gone. No doubt there will be some people with too much money on their hands who will end up taking that deal. Think they'd direct some of their wealth towards me if I asked nicely?

stinks of price fixing....whatever happened to competition....

phone exclusivity and 'locking' should banned as anti-consumer

who did you speak to to get that deal with orange? was it instore or over the phone?

Iv tried to take a second contract with them for the girlfriend and after me spending over £2200 in the last 18months (dont ask) they wouldn't budge on their pricing.

Maybe it just stinks of Apple charging everybody an enormous amount of money for each iPhone sold; you can't expect Orange (or anyone else) to sell it a loss.

Hi Facial,

i got this deal with retentions, but I had to battle with them and they even sent me a PAC number as I threatend to leave etc....I have been with them nearly 16 years and I found it awful that my girlfriend who has been with them just 4 years managed to get a better deal than me with them throwing in a USB dongle in and getting it for £5 cheaper!!!

Phone them say you are leaving etc etc.....
