Seems to me they just don't want to risk you doing a runner, their current terms & conditions apply to the point of sale & the 12month contract period.
That £150 deposit is being used to worry people, but if its in writing that you get it back then YOU GET IT BACK.

Well if the money was borrowed from a bank it would cost less than £15 per phone in interest, so it could be worked in to the figures as a pre profit expense,
or i might be tempted to ask for them to pay a reasonable rate of intrest on the money they are holding of yours for a year.
I am interested in how maany ccontraacts they let you have before they decided to ask for a "£150 returnable deposit".

i've never checked this but just wondering if you decide to "Pay off" a contract, do you have to pay the 12 payments at the Original plan rate or at the one you have reduced to, if its the later, it would be an easy way to reduce the number of contracts in one name, i THINK its the Original agreed monthly plan rate though.

I have an Orange OVP Virgin sim as my main sim, but they only convert to OVP Virgin after 12 months on contract, although they used to let you convert earlier but it meant paying £10 a month subsidy to them, i'm not sure they even do this now but even if they do,its same price as CSD.

@pachy
Thanks man for the tip on the CSD tariff. Switched today.
Orange and CPW do not seem to know what the unwritten rules are about minimum period on tariffs etc.

Yea, thing is, if we are buying a locked Orange phone, chances are, even if we go to a low tariff, we still use another Orange sim in the phone, even if its not the one the phone came with, so they still get our money. just maybe not as much

just got my free p900.
basically the deal they are doing is that ALL phones are free on the £45 a month contract (which she says you have to stick to for 3 months but theres nothing in the contract)
in the smallprint of the deal it says "except pda phones"! i really dont think that they are supposed to be giving this phone out for free.
the store i went to in central manchester has only got 2 left and they only started selling it today - its not even out on the shelves yet!
i'd assume that they got aroung 10 to 20 of them in, so thats (10 * 599) £6000 worth of phones they've given away in a day - not bad!
oh by the way this offer only runs till tommoro! |

@mobman,
You didnt say what network you got it on, best ccheck you can downgrade by ringing up & trying to downgrade, specialy if you didnt buy on Orange.
