I'm in the same boat.

My contract doesn't end until May, and 02 wanted £350 to buy myself out and then I would have to go on a £40+ a month for 18 months. It's cheaper for me to buy the phone outright and stay on my cheaper contract. Then in April when it ends, I'll go sim only for £16 a month.

Bingo.

You can't call a store mate as they would just be on the phone all day. There is a number but it's for customer service use only.

Most C/C is outsourced now as well, they speak 5 languages as they deal with customer care for Vodafone global so they are really intelligent people, just use English names as it's easier :). They are in Egypt as well, I've been India as they don't take calls ;)

Phoning them would be honestly lovely, except Vodafone actually have the worst customer service setup EVER!

Firstly, there are no store numbers, at all, you cannot contact a store without walking into it.

Secondly you call up and get some tit in India, who claims to be English but cannot speak it.

Thirdly, this tit can't even get hold of the store and can only leave a message.

Fourthly, I'm f**king raging!

You've been reading the company handbook haven't you? ;-)

Just been down there and checked, the store does now exist, despite not being on the voda site and being boarded up on streetview. Problem is, the fact I can't contact the store means I have no way to check if my phone's there or not, so I have to leave work, drive there, pay to park, and then could be told "it's not here..."

Just seems a bit silly to me seeing as all other stores manage it, ironically voda'stwitter customer service pwns all other forms.

As for the woman on the phone, her english was so bad she didn't understand that i'd ordered from one store to be delivered to another, actually took me 5 mins just to explain the situation.

Sorry for the rant, but it's not the best start to a new provider!!!

Any idea if handsets are arriving first thing in the morning?

Carphone warehouse in wrexham offered me an iphone 4s at 35 a month yesterday, a one off fee of 50 quid. the deal was as far as i can remember, 600ish mins, unlimited texts and an amount of mb's that i'd basically never go over (instant wifi at home would help)

i was like SIGN ME UP but after a few checks on their system it has to be when you are up for renewal, or 3 months before minimum... I'm not till july 2012... so all in all fcuk my life.

I wanted to join you cool kids as i have a macbook pro and have come to the realisation apple is a pretty brilliant company.

but back to the point, carphone warehouse can apparently outdo orange for offers and deals on the handset.

You could always go handset only, then come upgrade time in 12 months (Or less when your contract is due) go onto a monthly rolling job, and start a new contract with the release of the new iPhone next year.

Then just sell your handset you could buy now, Voila.

Join the dark side. :evil:
