Hi George. Even if you are entitled to an upgrade but it is past sunday it is still worth asking at your local shop. There is fairly stiff competition these days between the networks and I get the impression that some of them at least are starting to realise the importance of holding on to customers, particularly if you have been with the company for a long time. Obviously no one can guarantee anything but it is worth a shout. The IPhone does it seems have some rather serious limitations however. It can play music and be used for browsing web pages but but I don't know if it can use push email like the blackberry. More surprisingly still, the IPhone cannot be used to send and receive MMS messages though I believe the IPhone can display photos and vidios. Over all, it does seem to have had some fairly poor press though it is said to be a good looking phone.

This in may case was annually, though is now every 18 months. Having looked at the receipt, it seems the normal upgrade price would be £150.

You could be upset. I should also add that I can in no way whatsoever guarantee you will be entitled to the same offer described below. I've had a contract with Vodaphone for many years, paying currently £11.91 (Ex VAT) a month. I'm entitled to a phone upgrade once a year, though usually my wife takes advantage of that, passing on the new phone to her son in Denmark, where mobile phones cost the absolute earth. Anyway, I decided on the spur of the moment this afternoon to see what an 8 GB Nokia N95 would set me back, so called into my local Vodaphone shop in Northampton. Surprise, surprise. There is a special offer on for my tariff, but only for today and tomorrow, which apparently is to compete with O2 launching some IPod thing or another this weekend. I did however have to commit to an 18 month contract, but there was no change of monthly cost. But they did give me a free pay as you go simcard. Oh yes! And the cost? FREE! (But remember, the offer ends when the shop closes on Sunday 11th November) George. __________ NOD32 2652 (20071111) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
