MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
Mrs bluearsedflys contract is up and shes due an 'upgrade'.
It 'has' to be an iPhone 7 in black and it 'has' to be on EE or O2 with 3gb of data or more.
Looking at uSwitch she can have one with unlimited texts/minutes/5gb of data from someone like Affordable Mobiles for £36 pm
Or,
The same deal with O2 for £50 pm, both with £60 up front for a new phone. Having always gone direct is there any disadvantage dealing with a reseller and how do they manage to undercut the network providers?
Cheers.
Anyone?
Assuming she is out of contract or in the last month ... start by ringing current provider and request her PAC. Speak to their 'loyalty' dept. and tell them I can get a much better deal at Affordable Mobiles etc.
If they won't match / beat it then leave!
The networks offer resellers a kickback which they funnel through to you in various guises.
The networks in return tend to offer direct customers better deals in terms of add-ons, minutes and data allowances, early upgrade/upgrade options etc.
6 of one half a dozen of the other really.
I tend to go direct these days...
The only time I've had a problem was when 4g was introduced. I went for Orange via carphone warehouse, then accepted an offer to transfer to EE but it turned out the handset was not 4g compatible. If I had gotten it direct from Orange it would have been.
