Hi there!

Just a quick question- I've come to the end of my 18 month contract and nobody had mentioned to me that even though it is a Flext35 Web+Walk tarrif, with the f+f discount (from a friend at tmobile) my upgrade options are severely limited (ie huge prices for the handset! - I'm looking at getting the n95).

I phoned retentions and the best deal was to give me the handset for 120 which is still loads as over 18 months I'd still be giving t-mobile 405 quid over the course of the year! plus the handset price come to £525!

Not good.

So, my friend has said I can use another of his 5 friends and family discounts- my worry is, is this allowed?

I'd be cancelling my contract with them (putting my current phone as PAYG) and then setting up a new contract with the friends and family discount. Will they see that I'm the same person and not allow it? Or is this ok?

Thanks guys!

hi there,

it's good having the friends & family discount, half price line rental for life.

but when your upgrade us due, it's difficult to get a decent upgrade.

as far as i know you should be ok getting another line put on friends and family, i've never come across any problems.

If you were to buy a N95 off-network you'd be paying £350-500, so quite yer whining.

I got a free upgrade to an n95 on a F&F Flext 50 12 month contract.
