the network subsidise the phones for new customers to encourage them to sign up, however once you're signed up they dont care so that is why existing customers never get as good deal, cos they figure existing customers wont be bothered to look elsewhere. | |

quote: ye they said that to me, paid 200quid for the phone on contract, then they wnated another 100quid, i soend about 30-50quid amonth. anyway ordered a new one, lol lost all my numbers anyway when my phone broke, so might as them to make this contract into a PAYG sim , so people can still ring me till they get my new number. o2 C/S is shite | |

The network makes more money out of a new customer hence why upgrades are more expensive | |
