Drop in commission as of today, so Steve T advice of connecting to OVP BF and switching to HSD may need to redressed :) Personally I'm surprised it stayed at that level of commission for so long. Expect about £50 increase in handset prices. -- Chris Spyrou numero communications limited > Drop in commission as of today, so Steve T advice of connecting > to OVP BF and switching to HSD may need to redressed :) > Personally I'm surprised it stayed at that level of commission for > so long.

Yesterday I luckily got a 3510i from OSPS on it with 150quid cashback, (2 repayments of 75quid at 3 and 6 months) Today it's Zero cashback at OSPS !! I think i'll have a go at the lottery this Saturday :-) Steve Terry >> Drop in commission as of today, so Steve T advice of connecting >> to OVP BF and switching to HSD may need to redressed :) [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> > I'm stunned by how much it's dropped !

Makes sense, to many non business users had been taking it just to get the phone cheap.

I think OSPS have over reacted, they officially had 120 quid cashback on a 3510i, but as they had sold out of 5210 which had 150quid cashback, they let me have a 3510i instead of a 5210 :-) > > I think i'll have a go at the lottery this Saturday :-) > > Do two lines and I'll give you a quid! > Chris Spyrou Make it shares in your Co, and you have a deal :-) Steve Terry > I think OSPS have over reacted, they officially had 120 quid > cashback on a 3510i, but as they had sold out of 5210 which > had 150quid cashback, they let me have a 3510i instead of > a 5210 :-) Nice of them considering there's only a few quid in trade price between the two! >>> I think i'll have a go at the lottery this Saturday :-) >> >> Do two lines and I'll give you a quid! >> Chris Spyrou >> > Make it shares in your Co, and you have a deal :-) I reckon you're better off with that quid :)  SignatureChris Spyrou numero communications limited >> Drop in commission as of today, so Steve T advice of connecting >> to OVP BF and switching to HSD may need to redressed :) [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Steve Terry I've just ordered a Panasonic X70 on OVP Business First from OSPS as well.... phone price Free!! how that one works i dunno, since the panny is only just out this week and its about 400 quid sim free. Unless i'm very much mistaken there's little to stop me phoning Orange up and asking to pay the full contract for the year upfront (£167.88) then paying the £20 to unlock the phone and popping my O2 300Wap/Txt sim in it. Feel free to correct me > I've just ordered a Panasonic X70 on OVP Business First from OSPS as > well.... phone price Free!! how that one works i dunno, since the panny is > only just out this week and its about 400 quid sim free. Well it's now showing on their website as £149.99 on that tariff. Since the phone hasn't been released yet, don't be surprised if OSPS up the price on your order to the current price showing on the website at the time of connection.

I really can't see them letting you have it for free and them making a loss on it..! Tariq >> They cant do that without first informing me. It was showing as free for >> approx 3 days. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >stock I expect. I really can't see them letting you have it for free and >them making a loss on it..! I can imagine them being "out of stock" until you get bored and pissed off. Am i being cynical? Simon >> They cant do that without first informing me. It was showing as free >> for approx 3 days. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Tariq Why would they have had it down as Free for 3 days, surely after a couple of days they would have noticed a high amount of people ordering it? > Why would they have had it down as Free for 3 days, surely after a couple of > days they would have noticed a high amount of people ordering it? They don't have it in stock anyway, so they have nothing to lose by advertising it at whatever price they like. As it says in their terms and conditions - 'the price isn't binding until the goods have been despatched' or something like that, so i'll be surprised (pleasantly) if you get the phone without them telling you that the price has gone up. Tariq >> Why would they have had it down as Free for 3 days, surely after a >> couple of days they would have noticed a high amount of people [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Tariq Just out of curiosity have you phoned them on the stock situation? Just their website doesn't have a live stock status, so there's absolutely nothing there to say its out of stock. The phone is out because both the Orange shop & Phones4U (spit) have them up here. > > They don't have it in stock anyway, so they have nothing to lose by > > advertising it at whatever price they like.

Really? I was under the impression that there weren't any of them about yet. It's possible they do have them and that you'll get one then - what does your order status show? You can log into the website from the front page using your customer number and the password you gave them when you were ordering - it should say whether they're waiting for stock or whether the handset's been connected or whatever...?

I tried inputting the customer number and leaving password blank but it just says "Your account has not been found" bummer eh > Drop in commission as of today, so Steve T advice of connecting > to OVP BF and switching to HSD may need to redressed :) Had to happen really. For a while there you could get a Nokia 6100 on that tarriff, with £80 cashback = £88 total! i got that one > > Drop in commission as of today, so Steve T advice of connecting > > to OVP BF and switching to HSD may need to redressed :) > > Had to happen really.

Maybe a good thing actually, probably just a waste of money... John |
