I rung T-mobile around the north today seeing if I could leech a discount. Some tried but all gave a resounding "NO". Something that did come of it was that they all offered the Combi 25 for £30 a month x 18 months with 300 mins talk and 300 texts, the Phone would be £70.
The thing is your list only gives 12month Combi's and not one store offered me the Flexi packages. I only read your post after ringing them so I will see what I can learn tomorrow but obviously based on your findings the Flexi 30 is best of all. I will keep you posted of what I find.

Do you imagine they are fiddling with their Tariffs since you rang them?

Hi again,

I rang the 0800 sales number today and after directing the sales chap to what would give me the flext he hit the spot. He said it's as advertised on the web with 700 mins or 1400 texts or whatever mix and the handset is £69.99. He made out like he was doing me a favour on the £5 web&walk for free. but this was thrown in at all stores so obviously it's their bargaining chip not realising I knew this was an existing deal. Being a good bargain hunter I asked about discount on the phone upfront cost and he said "NO" as I'd expected, he did offer to push the handset cost onto my next bill giving me a month to find the £70 so they are helpful enough but cash off would be better:D

I will drop you a line If I can hold out any longer or actually win them over on discounts but for now I'm very glad it's possible on a cheaper tariff, great find Ben.

Hey Guys have you seen the new Tariffs, Much better.

Seems like they cut the price by nearly £10 or at least the cost of the devise and dropped the free minutes and texts.

Either way it's far more appealing.

true, but the 18 months at £30 quid makes it £19 cheaper over the 18 months. (£10 difference x 18 months) plus you get alow extra minutes or texts so the £30 + free phone is probably your best bet.
