Hibster. Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Myles You can take your number with you if you move network. All you need to do is ask Vodafone for a PAC number, you then quote this to your new network provider and then Vodafone have x days to transfer the number. I expect that just requesting the PAC will be enough to wake up Vodafone to give you what you can get elsewhere Paul Supercheese R250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 This is what I was thinking... Most providers won't officially offer their promotions to subscribers transferring from another network - but I'd have £40 to cushion the blow... (or so the argument would run...) I'm *sure* they can override the so-called 'discount code' that is generated from my last 3 months bills... I'll phone them again after the lunchtime rush and ask to *speak* to the supervisor if I'm getting no-where... 🙆🏻 Keep BC free and open for ALL.

Hibster. Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 If they won't play ball then moving network is really no hassle and you'll be welcomed with open arms and lots of free offers of bundled free this & that Paul Supercheese R250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Myles, I think the reason they aren't keen to give you a free upgrade is because your bill is quite low. I spend a fair bit more than that a month and do get free upgrades - I'm on Orange though - not really had any problems with them - although the coverage doesn't seem to be as good as on Vodafone. I think all the providers are pretty similar really - none of them give outstanding customer service Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Myles, Sounds very familiar! Although I sort the phones for our company out, it is still the same, and we spend a reasonable amount a month! Tell them you are terminating your contract, and send the PAC number. You'll be amazed at what they can offer, even on a lowley tarif. The most bizarre one recently, was £99.99 to upgrade one employee's phone to a Sony T610 (or whatever it is) Complained that it would be free on every "NEW" tarif under the sun. A fruity phone company then managed to review the cost, and after speaking to the manager, offer it for £49.99 A bit more discussion and threat to move, and the stupidity of their pricing etc, and I was offered a deal where I pay £49.99 on the company credit card, and they would discount the next bill by £100. Which I took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hmm, yes, that's the size of it I guess... ...and they can presumably see that they'll be worse off if I continue with my current useage. S@d it. I'll phone them, give it one last go, and then cave in. My folks are with Voda pay-as-you-go and they wouldn't welcome paying more for the privilledge of speaking to me on another network... I will be better off after a max of 8 months anyway - or possibly as little as two and a bit depending on usage. Just narks me that they are effectively treating me worse than a new (unknown) customer... ☹️ Keep BC free and open for ALL.

Myles Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Tried, threatened to leave, failed, took the offer..... ☹️ Heh-ho! It is a much better deal than I'm on at the mo. If it wasn't for the hassle of letting everyone know a new number, I'd just cancel the old one and sign up online with the same crowd and save the £40... Keep BC free and open for ALL.
