CPW are doing the Moto L6 free with a free PSP at the minute. I doubt that you would get that on an upgrade.

cpw also do the L6 free on a 12 month contract with 12 months free line rental. Thats free phone and nothing to pay on line rental.

Hi, I'm in a bit of a predicament. I'm on o2 online and have been for over two years. My 12 month contract expired end of oct but i haven't upgraded yet (was waiting for w900i but that's another story).
If i upgrade anytime soon will the new 12 month contract run up to the same date again (ie, oct 06) ?
Or will they want to start a new 12 months from date of upgrade (say feb 06) ?
Thanks

When you upgrade you sign up for another 12 months (or 18 in some cases) from the date that you upgrade NOT when your contract hit its year.

I'm on Orange in the UK and the further you go into a typical 12 month contract the more heavily a phone upgrade is subsidised.
My question is if you simply allow your contract to continue beyond the 12 months does this subsidy continue to grow ?
The dilemma..... I own a P910 and as I am now at the end of my contract could upgrade to a W800 FOC.
I actually want a P990 but this will not be available for months. So I have 2 choices:
A) Get my FOC W800, and sell both that and the P910 to finance an expensive upgrade when the P990 is released.
B) Wait until the P990 is released, and finance that by selling my P910 and using my upgrade "credit".
I'd appreciate any comments.

In my experience the best deal is around about the time you "come out of commitment" the value of your custom does not seem to go up much after that point, best advice ask for Pac code 2 weeks before commitment runs out they will normaly fall over backwards to keep you on board at that point (I got £25 per monh knocked off my rental for 12 months and an interest free deal on a handset over 12 months at my last last upgrade and they were adamant that there could be no free P910i for me on Vodafone when i first asked!)
However IMHO the P990 will not be a FOC phone initialy unless you are a massive volume user by that I mean well in excess of £100ex vat a month Vodafone are getting very insistant thay will no longer offer premium devices at very low cost and I spend a lot with them each month!

Just to stop any confusion it is PAC code. If you ask for a PUK code they will give you the code to unlock your sim if you type in the sim pin code wrong too many times.
