Hey man ive still got a month left to go on my probation but all u do is to go Quick Links in the retail intranet then go to UK Intranet. From there you can either search for liberate or just go to the Benefits section and u will find liberate fones under the phones section.
They have a pretty **** choice and the N95 is £130 which is why i just went for dolphin £35 with free BB off the website when they were doing the special deal where the N95 was free, got 600 mins + Unlimited Texts plus unlimited weekend calls and free broadband! Well good deal!
****e i dont get free care though :(
What store u from?
Im from Ayr, the best store in Scotland 2 region ;)

You don't pay anything for your first phone - the £130 is an Upgrade fee. A couple of mates just got theirs recently, and someone got the Prada which costs on Upgrade but it free as your first phone.
You'll need to get the form as well to send off, either print it off, or ask your TL to do it for you.
As for finding it. You can hit it up from the Intranet from the Benefits menu.

iPhone seems likely to go to O2 from what I've heard - that's why you won't find anything on Guru, since we won't be doing it, although the guys that can unlock it would be able to make it available to Orange customers - I think it's going for about £375+ on eBay at the moment. There's an article here (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/09/17/o2_win_iphone_contract/) about where it might be going.
I'm on Liberate C, but that's because I don't want to pay over £200 for an upgrade in 12 months.
And the N95 if definitely free on Liberate as your first phone - I've not been charged.

ok sounds great!
jees i wouldnt pay that :/
see since im tied into a contract on dophin 35 until early 2009 do u think id be better just taking liberate b since its only a fiver and its only an extra 6 months onto a normal 18 month contract anyway
what you guys think about the new broadband packs, do u think theyll sell better than the current ones?
also what are the upcoming phones coming to pay monthly? ive not been on guru recently and im not back in work till saturday due to a flit.
what store you from?

Can't say I know much about the new broadband offers. I read that there is a new £12 option coming soon, but I work in PAYM CS so we don't bother with broadband much at the moment.
There should be a load of new phones out for Q4 across the manufacturers - SE have the K950i out soon with its 5MP camera and there's a couple of new W series phones. Not sure about the other networks. Samsung have released a couple new phones. We have some exclusive coloured handsets out before Christmas according to some sources.
Not sure whether you should go with Liberate B - depends if it will benefit you much alongside your current plan.

okay ive had alook at the liberate policy and it seems that n95 is part of the liberate "plus" range and not as part of the normal range ie suggests i have to pay
its probably best i contact internal CS on 161 so i can ask them eh?
are u sure u got it free as your first phone?

Yep. 2nd bill came yesterday and no charge. It is a Liberate Plus phone but your first is still free as far as we're concerned. Still not found anyone who has been charged for a Prada or N95 yet.

okay can anyone clear up whether N95 is free as your first phone? I just called 161 and they told me that whatever the prices are on the Liberate microsite is what ill pay.
cheers
