Exactly. The Dolphin 40 deal your friends got is only £1 less a month than my tariff and I wouldn't have used the extra minutes anyway. Would have been nice to get a free phone (assuming they got that), but I don't think anyone was going to give me one with an 18 month contract. Still, I'm happy with what I got in the end. The extra fiver a month over the £30 contract was worth it for the hike in minutes/texts because I used just over the threshold of the lower contract. Besides, swapping to Vodafone gets me coverage down the local leisure centre, which will come in handy when I want Leon to pick me up from running club because I'm too tired to run home

Well I'm starting to extend my routes into unknown territory, so it'll be useful having a map on hand in case I get lost for a start

Yeah I know that at least two of them got the phone for free, but TBH if you don't need the extra minutes they get then it's irrelevant to you and your needs.
As always, the bottom line with things like this is if you're happy with the deal you got then that's all that matters.

Managed to wangle one for free, albeit a reconditioned one (and I'm not 100% certain its a 3GS, although the woman on the phone told me it was, the order details just says "3G").

I'm pretty chuffed, should be delievered to work tomorrow - shame its parents evening!!

If it's an 8gig model it's definitely not a 3gs as they only come in 16 and 32 gig flavours.

Cracking, nice one Pickers Didn't know there was an option to get a reconditioned one.

After a really annoying delay, which I found out was due to a free gift being on back order and holding up the despatch of my iPhone, mine will be sent tomorrow and I'll get it Thursday. I was absolutely fuming with Vodafone because they've passed me from pillar to post and had me on hold for almost 2 hours over the past 2 days, but once I'd got through, the girl was so nice and efficient that I couldn't shout at her. NEVER bloody swapping network again!!

I hate that when you get wound up and then the person who answers is really nice

Iphone arrived at work today, but I opened it up and my suspicions were confirmed - they'd sent me a 3G not 3GS, so I calle them up and have sent it back so they can try again

I'm in no real rush.. but twould be nice to have it sooner rather than later!
