OK peeps can anyone confirm this...
My sis is getting a T68i and i read on esato a while back that if u get it from CPW you could get it cheap on an expensive tariff and after a couple of months change the tariff down to a cheaper one...
I believe this is still the case but just wondering if anyone can confirm this for me???
Thanks
Ed

Good idea, but surely the phone companies must realise u can do this and will have put in a catch...? Chris

I work for CPW so I can confirm that the T68i is free on O2 Leisure Time Plus (£20 p/m rental) or above, you can also change tariff after 3 months, no catch. Better be quick though, at the rate we're selling these they won't last forever!

you can do this on any handset in any store on any network on any tariff after a "cooling off period"

just change the talkplan anyway - how will the network charge u for a handset u paid for in CPW??? Some networks will only allow a talkplan change after 1 month because of the billing system.

So this is a dead cert is it?
I can start off a really expensive brand new 12 month contract so I can get the phone I want for free, or significantly cheaper, wait 3 months and then ask them to downgrade my tariff because "It doesn't suit me"?

yeh orange had a lot of dealers telling customers to do that - and it does make sense - why pay £100 for a phone when u get it free & pay 1 month rental for £25 - thats why the introduced & connection fee of £30 if a customer chose to change to everyday 50 with-in 3 months - I don't think anybody ever got charged though - they were just warned this may happen - some networks do have a 3 month policy for sticking to talkplans - Orange have not......
