Hi Peeps,
Just wondering what kind of discounts and perks, Orange and Carphone Warehouse Staff get?
I know two people who work for each company, they always seem to have the latest handset etc, but will never tell me what kind of discounts they get.
Anyone willing to share?
Thanks.

Last time i checked CPW staff got 30% off all sim-free handsets and 20% off PAYG,on contracts they have a special package can't remember the exact details of the deal but it beats any other ordinary contract by miles.

have you got a job with them or something?
Actually no Orange staff discounts are not as good....I think they give just 20% on everything.

Nope, no job with them, just that my friends, as mentioned above, always seem to have a lot of phones!
And I doubt, they are gonna buy them full price, or keep taking out new contracts.

when i managed my store in bolton..the deal was this...we were allowed to buy upto 6 sim free handsets a year, with 30% discount on each.
as far as contract goes...they are offered certain handsets (Not necessarily the latest) by different networks...eg. when the k750i first came out..i had mine on 99p line rental and an allowed upgrade after 7 months..200 minutes, 200 texts..that was a 02 offer to cpw employee's. |

CPW give their staff 30% off all handset prices and most mobile-related accessories. Since they delved into ipods, sat navs etc they've become a lot less generous (by virtue of the lower margins, I guess!) 
You can buy as many contract handsets as the networks will allow you with your discount but only 4 sim-free and 2 PAYG per year with the discount.
T-Mobile also offer CPW staff 50% off line rental and Orange offer 40% (+20% off SMS/MMS bundles). CPW also have a preferential scheme for employees on O2, whereby they offer discounted line rental and/or early handset upgrades.
I was told by an Orange Training rep that they get their handsets and rentals paid for, but I suspect that doesn't extend all the way through their Retail/CS operations.

orange staff can buy 2 handsets within the first year of employment at 30% off then another 2 in the 2nd year with again 30% off..
however they are for friends and family.. your personal phone is on "liberate" a tariff.. FOC calls and texts to Orange, 30mb free wap usage, and calls to xnet arent bad and texts are 5p..
cant remember the ins and outs i dont use mine!!

Just to let you guys vodafone offer you next to nothing 20% off payt and accessiories + free staff line rental but you pay for your calls and texts, it makes more sense to be on a consumer deal!
