I went into the Orange shop, concerned about the amount I was spending on my Orange mobile phone. I am on a talkshare plan talk 150 with two phones. This costs me about 45 pounds per month. I was interested in a better deal and an upgrade to my ageing nk702 phones.
Great service, and my phones were updated to the 3310e for 30 pounds each. Now I wanted more (dont we all), so I questioned my tariff and talkplan, and the salesman told me that I could upgrade to talk 500, but the cost would be a lot. I decided against it.
However, the salesman (quietly) asked if I had been to phones 4 u for independant advice. He said they MIGHT have a solution.
I went into PHONES 4 U, and enquired about the independant advice.
Immediately, they recommended that I get on to Orange and request a 'PRICE MATCH' with a One 2 One package, precept 400.
I went back into the Orange shop, and mentioned this. Within minutes, I had been transferred to precept 400 One 2 One, but still with Orange. They pricematched the best deal going, and I am so much better off! The Orange shop said they didnt market this feature of Orange, hence sent me to PHONES 4 U for the advice.
I now have 400 mins per month, instead of 150 - free answerphone message retrieval - CHEAPER calls and text messages, and best of all, I am still with Orange.
Thanks to the sneaky advice of the Orange Shop, and PHONES 4 U.
