Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / February 2004Avon cosmetics phone offer
Not sure if this has already been discussed, so sorry if I am repeating. Avon, the cosmetics firm, is doing an offer where if you spend £15 or more on their overpriced cosmetics you get a free PAYG Seimens A55 or Samsung A300 connected to Orange. Does this seem a good deal, to use as a spare phone? TIA Rob > Not sure if this has already been discussed, so sorry if I am repeating. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > TIA > Rob Every Orange shop in the country has sold out of PAYT A55, and say they are waiting for more stock It's an excellent deal, if you can get one Steve Terry >> Not sure if this has already been discussed, so sorry if I am >> repeating. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Steve Terry However - they're now selling through stock of A60's, 5210's, 3310's and My-X2's to meet the demand - and the vouchers are redeemable until the end of April.

We're starting to clear through them though - having cleared it with the AM to open late an extra night a week to deal soley with Avon customers! It's complete mayhem. I'm thankful we're secluded from the mainland UK crowds now... Chris It says A300, but on the voucher it says Nokia 6100 if you get a contract. That is a crap offer though, its free anyway for the same tariff in the shops. And you can get better camera phones free as well. Also they have now said that they wont upgrade existing numbers on PAYG, quoting rule 11, Orange can change the terms and conditions without prior notice. Probably because you get an extra £10 credited to your account. But when you get your phone home, phone the registration dept using the free phone number on the upgrade slip on the box and tell them that the salesman in the shop has made a mistake and you wanted to upgrade your number. They CAN do it for you. It just depends if you get some lazy slob who cant be bothered or a really helpful girl like the one I spoke to.

The £15 will buy you hardly anything though but at least you get something. Rob SignatureTel. 07010 703 702 rd@kalico.spam Replace SPAM with ORG to reply They started, 6 weeks ago in the Avon catalogue, you have to remember that some reps are 2 campaigns behind the others. Orange started with A55's, then went to my-X2 then 3310, then 5210, then A60, but as this offer is now a month old, 1st collections started on 1/2/4, all the local shops are back to A55's. Glad I got my 10 Nokia 5210's when I did, now they have gone back to crappy Siemens which can't be as easily unlocked Dave > > Can I ask where you get this offer?

A Nokia would certainly be preferable to the A55. > > They started, 6 weeks ago in the Avon catalogue, you have to remember that > > some reps are 2 campaigns behind the others.

When presenting the voucher at an orange shop you will go to the bottom of the pre-order list, and as and when stock arrives you will have what you are given. Nokia 5210 is on of the substitute phones but it's pure luck that will get you one of those.
