Hi,

I'm looking for a mid range phone (Nokia lumia 710, HTC wildfire S or one of the cheaper Galaxy). I need something like 100 mins / 500Mb, but it has to be Orange as this is the only reliable signal I get at my house.

Where is best to get deals from?
I'm sure it must be possible to get this cheaper than the standard £20/month on the orange webiste.

thanks in advance

Try a comparison site, or say hotukdeals.com, then go via quidco to get a referral fee back.

If you are at or near the end of an existing contract wait until its expired then threaten to leave and negotiate.

I'm PAYG at the moment, but using the phone more so it'll be cheaper to go contract from now on.

Will look at quidco, but the best deals usually aren't on there.

T-Mobile and Orange networks are joined now, you may well get a better deal with T-Mob as they're targeting the lower end of the market while Orange target the "premium" end.

My point was you find the deal on a comparison site but buy it via quidco.

Some sim only deals seem very cheap.

Al- sorry if I sounded short before, I know what you mean.

Found Nokia Lumina 710 on e2save for 12/month after discounted line rental with 100mins, unlimited txt and 500Mb which seems pretty good.
Might be able to get Quidco on it, but that's not too clear.

Problem is that I'm Orange PAYG, so I may have to move for one month to go back to Orage on contract and keep my number. I'll call them and see what they can do.
