Orange have completely changed how they deal with upgrades.
It is now based on your spend over the last 12 months and not the call
plan you are on.
I've just been forced to take out a new contract, port my old number to
Virgin, then back into the new Orange contract, to avoid a £179.99
charge for an SPV M500.

The 'spend over the last 12 months' is the same nonsense that Vodafone came
out with when I went to upgrade. I asked for my PAC, told them I was going
to move to Orange and they then became very helpful and gave me the phone
(6680) and a months tariff (£30) for nowt!

This maybe the case via the phone, but isn't online. I know someone who is
on a £15 per month contract and has bills around £100 per month and they get
high prices for everything if they try to upgrade online
Someone else has a £30 per month contract and they can get pretty much
anything free despite the fact they don't spend anything on top.

There a system in place that tells them mucho stuff about you when you call
in (it even analyzes your speech pattern and the type of language you use)
which tell them if your worth keeping as a customer. 1984 is here
