Now today I had a nice text from CPW saying that I can upgrade my phone, but with all the phones that I want I either have to pay 30 or 80 quids on a 12 Month contract (phones are the SE K810i @ £30 or W880i @ £80) whilst if I go to a 18 month contract it would be free.

Now I done a little check on the O2 websites and both phones are free there.

So what would you guys suggest I do with CPW, say that I want to cancel my phone as they are a rip-off and move to o2 or try and bargain with CPW to keep my business and see if the cancellations department would honour the price thats on the O2 website.
LoL... I just called CPW [O2] last week to cancel my mum's contract, and so u go to the option to cancel, and u get to Customer Loyalty dept [aka RETENTIONS ]. They offered me a deal that was slightly better than the website, ie 11 months free on a 12 month contract, SIM ONLY tho!

So basically, when u have 1 month left on ur contract, call them up, say u are leaving coz there is an offer in ur local mobile shop for £1 a month, including a ****ty fone, but 500 mins xnet on Vodafone. [Yes this offer was legit, but i didnt trust the company]. Then they will try and find u a deal. It will be a decent one

CPW o2 is not ur normal o2 in a way. Yes its o2, but even the customer service section is different! If u call the normal o2 Customer Service, u are not even on the system lol
