For third party suppliers (P4U, CPW etc.), this means that there is less commission to use to subsidise phones so their prices will go up. Online prices can then be raised as well. A good excuse to buy the phone "SIM free" and get a better deal on service. > The SP's are going in for more preferred supplier deals and aiming to cut > commissions.

Surely phones like the ones mentioned would cost an arm and a leg still though? >> The SP's are going in for more preferred supplier deals and aiming to cut >> commissions.

You'll pay for it one way or the other...

Blimey, you're right. They've changed the design of the website, and put the prices up in the process. I got an N73 last week for £29.99 and £25/month for 12 months. I'm glad I didn't wait now! |
