However the web site pricing doesn't work when viewed using Google Chrome as the browser.
Now firing up the spreadsheet to working out the best deal. My t-mobile contract runs out next month
Brought my Tytn from Vodapone and found them helpful when I had hardware problems.

Anyone without a "business" got one? Anyone had any problems with not owning a business?
Many thanks,
Dave
I got one last week without a business, and they didn't seem bothered at all.
I got mine for £30+vat a month over 18 months and when I've just looked at the website it showed 3 months free. I rang up and complained that I wasn't offered this option, and he politely pointed out that it was for 24 month contracts only. Then he said if I wanted to change to it I could and he dropped the rental to £25 pm
So I have extended the contract AND saved money, are you listening Tmobile?
Thanks stunno, I think I'm going to upgrade... (it's been so long since I got my Kaiser, I've getting nervious )
@lloydsparkes, please don't thread hijack, I've deleted your posts, use one of the many T-Mob threads.
Dave
yeh i got mine from vodafone a week ago and im not a business owner...
they didnt seem too bothered about it either. Got a 25ppm contract for 24 months! figured the phone looks great and hopefully should work well (which it is for now) i didn't mind keeping it for 2 years!
Just a quick update - I was just in the Vodafone branch in Durham who told me that they had an email this morning telling them that the stores weren't going to stock it so it's online/telesales only.
double posting...sorry

Go for it Dave, you know you want to!
And when you get it, as your first job can you find a way of getting rid of the branding, please?
I've signed up on Vodafone for £34 + VAT per month, 18 months, and get 900 mins + unlimited TXT + 500mb data.
What are you guy's getting for £25 per month? If I'm getting a raw deal I may ask them to change it for me, or I have until Monday to decide to send it back within the 'peace of mind' return period.
I'm getting 500 minutes, unlimited landline and internet (but the AUP will be 50MB) and 250 texts

My condolences mate, hope you find something soonest.
I too am between contracts, the job market sucks in the UK at the moment, but there is always work about as long as one can be humble.
Good luck again.

for 25 a month i get 600 mins unlimited texts and unlimited internet i.e 500mb...but i did pay 196 for the phone....now i jus checked the website and they are selling the same contract for 170...i feel a bit cheated! im gna call them tomorrow and ask for a small refund atleast! every little helps!

Apparently you have 7 days 'make your mind up time' on the phone ( although I thought the Distance Selling Regs was 14 days, but could be wrong) so if you are within that you have a good bargaining position

"Every little helps" you didn't buy it from Tesco's surely ?

just got off the phone with Vodafone! they are going to credit my account! luv it when they actually listen to you....
Good News! I'm beginning to like Vodafone
Does anyone know if the Vodafone TP2's are SIM unlocked?
Dave
mines sim unlocked.. tried with a three sim and orange...both passed a call test
My one is unlocked too - was using it with T-mobile before my number was ported.
I'm also pleased with Vodafone so far, and there coverage seems better than T-mobile so far where I live in Aberdeen.
I wanted to ask MPD about two different contracts I am interested in below as I really would like to order a Touch Pro 2 today, but they never answer the phone!:
T-Mobile

Now this deal looks good too but says nothing about daily browsing costs, nor does it on the Vodafone website.
Can anyone confirm that both above deals incurr EXTRA browsing/email/surfing costs?
I want to buy my HTC TP2 today but there is no point getting it and having to incurr large daily charges for a device that really is going to primarily be connected to the net daily.
Cheers
Both deals have inclusive internet so there will be no additional charge.
The T-Mobile £1 charge only applies if you don't have an add on Web n'Walk package, which the contract you quoted does have.
I think the W&W deal has a fair use policy of 1gb. I have had W&W for a few years now and despite tethering to my laptop and using data on my WM devices heavily I have never had a letter from T-Mobile asking me to reduce my use.
However I am concerned about the difficulty in contacting MPD. My TP2 is misbehaving. Not sure yet if it is a hardware fault but lack of communications with MPD worries me. Guess I will have to contact HTC but I want the option of a replacement handset rather than a repair.
Thank you for you're reply aerotec.
Well to be honest I have contacted them by email (wednesday) with no reply and called them around 10 times since then with no reply including leaving voice mail this morning - this is very worrying and a major issue if anything goes wrong with the phone, it has totally put me off.
I'm considering Expansys now as they have returned all my emails quickly, I didnt even have to call.
I hope yours gets sorted mate.
if you go directly to voda mate, on their bussiness page, you can get a free HTC TP2, 900 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited internet for £34.03 + vat... hold in, i'll link it.
HERE IT IS
18 month contract... are the ones you list 18mnth ?
It looks alot better to go directly to voda or am i missing something ?
EDIT : To get the plan i was on about, hit the 18 month click box and click 'view all plans'
The MPD deal is still pretty good. I took the 12 month deal as it worked out about the same as buying it unconnected.
I just hope I can sort out the handset problem though it has worked ok today.
I drove 5hrs yesterday and the TP2 kept giving me connection errors and Tomtom kept hanging on me. Why can't my gadgets just WORK!

Thats the exact deal I got, although they don't have any more stock till monday apparently, but there was one available in my local store so she reserved it for me, and i picked it up same day.
MPD supply a non-brandaed, stock HTC TP2, where is vodafones is branded is the only real difference.
Thats a damn good deal, beats T-Mobile hands down.
I wish I could get one from my local store, but none have any.
I would prefer non-branded, but I'll definately take a look at that!
Thanks!
EDIT: Pretty sure -T-Mobile give you 1GB fair usage policy whereas Voda is 500MB?
I've just signed up for that deal aswell, and yeah, no stock till monday, I went to my local store and they'd just sold the only one they had... so i gotta wait
Apparently coz it's a bussiness phone local stores hold hardly any stock anyways..
More time to dowload goodies and fill up the 8GB card i just bought for it
EDIT : Also my local store didn't want to honour this deal as they said ' it's a bussiness only deal, were not a bussiness shop' so i'd recommend calling the number on the voda site, they were pleasant enough to deal with.
Don't go with T-Mobile, they're worse than useless.
In this thread, issues I've had with them:

yeah, thats right... I can live with that though... i doubt i'll download anywhere near 500MB in a month over the air... but horses for courses.
You guys are a great help thanks.
Ok I phoned Vodafone, they are currently stocking them in:
Middlesborough (18!!)
Guildford
Thats about it according to the really helpful lady that I spoke to.
I wont be using T-Mobile then based on your issues mate, cheers.
By the way, how bad is the branding? is it possible to get rid of it using another ROM yet?

I quite like it (not sure how many share my opinion here though).
Was getting bored of the black HTC theme on my other HTC phones (TyTN II/Touch HD).
To change the ROM you'd just need to install a new bootloader to unlock it and then install whatever ROM. I think the stock ROMs are available on the wiki, bear in mind it invalidates your warranty though. I've not done it myself since having the original TyTN handset and loading a custom ROM but it's fairly simple, a mate of mine did his TP1 the other day when he was round my place, didn't really pay much attention but it was basically the same process.
Ok sounds easy enough, thanks.
So would this also enable me to download the official HTC ROMs and the WM 6.5? or do you need to have an unbranded HTC phone for this?
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
MPD got back to me finally so all good.
So my choice is now unbranded (at extra cost £89 with a slightly inferiour voda contract) or branded (free with a better contract) - hmmm!
from how i see it... i might be wrong (i'm still wet behind the ears) you cant flash any rom to any TP2 yet untill someone comes up with a hardSPL for it (dunno about un-branded though) someone please confirm ?
From what i've read in the rom devolopment section they're working on it.
Once that's done.. you'll be able to whack any ROM on it and get rid of any branding.
Till then you gotta live with the branding i think.
Thanks - all my questions answered, much appreciated all.
The branding is AWFUL! pink white grey and black
But it is very easy to undo without flashing. There is a thread in the themes section, install one file and its gone
got mine from MPD and yeah they were a pain to get thru too via phone sometimes and email! i am very persistent so kept ringing till i got an answer sometimes 5 times back to back but i get thru. emails were answered quite quickly and i even had my contracts emailed to me for signing so i could get phone next day.............impressive! i did however speak to another gentleman who had no clue what i was on about when i enquired bout the postage of my phone. i got the t-mobile combi 30 deal where you got 700 mins plus unlimited texts w/out w&w as i already have a t-mobile line fully loaded on flext 35. it cost me £29.15 monthly and i paid £45 for phone!
that deal for £34.25 is quite good and phone is free. you get an unbranded and unlocked handset which is the biggest plus. getting the phone from voda direct means that it will come with their version of the stock rom which is not very good at all! keep ringing till MPD answers as they do eventually..............you need to get phone unbranded to truly experience the beauty of the phone. that IMO beats the lack of contact from MPD. when you do get thru you will get sorted. i think it gets rather busy in there and it is only a small shop with limited number of staff. it is also a walk in shop not online based like others. if they are busy dealing with walk in customers they won't answer phone!

that doesn't get rid of the overal performance as base rom will still be voda branded and doesn't work well at all

pretty bad from what i have been told! you can't flash custom roms at present till hard spl is released. this will also have a security unlock that will enable you to flash custom roms. ETA is not known but it is work in progress. in branded state you will only be able to flash voda updates. HTC rom or future htc updates you will not be able to use till hrad spl is available. even if you remove the look of the phone the base rom will still be voda and that is the issue. the unbranded handset with stock rom works far better than voda branded one! IMO the choice is clear!
Question for those that have bought a desire from CPW, what kind of contracts are they offering in store? Are they any better than the ones they have online because they all look rubbish without internet?!

the phone was free, i didnt ask about flexibooster im affraid. They did say the unlimited web was the current offer and mentioned next week that could be free broadband or some other offer. But, they did say i could change the unlimited web to another service if the tariff wasnt right.
HTH
It's worth checking out what that means - if you get the contract direct from t-mobile you'll get unlimited internet on an android phone no maatter what, then you can choose an additional flex booster for free. Call t-mobile support and they'll confirm if you qualify for this. If you do, could you please post here to let us know - not knowing whether I'll get unlimited itnernet and a flex booster is the main reason I've not bought from CPW yet (I've been told both yes and no from them, so not trusting them)
Mine was with t mobile. £ 35, 1200 minutes, 500 text unlimited internet.

So for those who upgraded to the Nitro HD and had to sacrifice their unlimited plans, have you guys tried this little loophole? It was brought up in the Atrix forum and it seems many people have tried it and succeeded. I'd love to try it but nobody around me has an Iphone 2G so I can't do it yet.

Btw, if it works for you, please thank the appropriate people, and I mean the original poster on the link above. I am merely bringing this here so people who didn't know about it can give it a try. This is not my work in any ways.
EDIT/NOTE! To all newcomers/readers of this thread, please be informed that this loophole is no longer available! The very loophole that has been used for years by many has been permanently patched by AT&T as of December 2011. As such, nobody, and I mean NOBODY, can provide their services to upgrade your data plan to Unlimited anymore. Please avoid reaching to ebay sellers who used to provide such services, for example, lordofthereef, since they can no longer help you. Your only real option right now is to plea your case to AT&T in hopes they will somehow provide you with unlimited. Thank you for your interest with this thread.
I don't think that's going to work for an LTE area. I still have Unlimited Data with my Nitro, but I don't have LTE over here.
It works. I know because I did it. Actually I didn't DO it myself. I paid a guy on ebay to do it. I have a friend who also paid him and got it done. Last summer I was tethering with my iphone before I knew I wasn't "allowed" to and they cancelled my Unlimited plan. Since I couldn't get ahold of an iphone 2G I paid the guy on ebay. His seller name is lordofthereef. Don't use anyone but him (I've heard people have problems with the other sellers).
I don't know why anyone would lose their Unlimited plan switching to the Nitro. Whatever AT&T rep told you that you couldn't keep Unlimited LIED to you.

Allstar, can u describe wat needs to be done with this seller in order to get the unlimited to work? And how much did u have to pay him? I searched for him on ebay, found him but he has no postings that show him offering to get unlimited for you. If he doesn't charge an exorbitant amount of money to do it, I am willing to pay him for it.
Edit: Nevermind Allstar, found it through his old feedbacks...It seems he is saying it is currently unavailable though hmm.

Oh that sucks. I wonder if AT&T killed it or he is too busy. He's in school and was being hounded by idiots to do that for them (people from forums trying to go around ebay). I paid him $40, but I saw his price go down to $35. Maybe message him and see if he knows of someone else trustworthy that can do it.
Fudge!! He said the AT&T unlimited data plan that he is doing is down for good! I don't know if it's just with him or AT&T finally got rid/patched the loophole, but this is looking grim
Oh man. I guess it was just a matter of time before AT&T caught on. If you can get ahold of an iphone 2G for little or no cost I would still try it.

I don't think it's possible anymore, without actually escalating the issue to their claims team. This guy confirmed it over at the atrix forum:
ajdrausal said:
The loop hole no longer exists, I called 611 (customer service) and the rep had to do an escallation, they ended up giving my friend the 30$ a month unlimited but it wasnt something they could do from the get go. What you can do to get it is call them up and if u never had a smart phone before but had a regular messaging phone is.
add unlimited data
wait a billing cycle
aquire iPhone 2G
try to activate it
call 611 and complain that u had unlimited and since iPhone 2g is older they should allow it, have them send a email to the team that takes care of feature and have them add the unlimited 30$ plan (since the 20$ doesnt exist)
That is basically what happened with my friend, but he had unlimited on his messaging phone for a year.

The seller also said that the loophole is what he used and is now no longer functioning.
Fudge! I should have moved faster or did it back when I was on the atrix!
Not sure why you're having to jump through hoops. The guy just offered to keep the unlimited plan that I've had the whole time.
If you have the Unlimited at the time of upgrading you can keep it. Some have been told you can't, but that is a lie. I've heard several reason people are given, but they are all false. This trick is for those that either never had unlimited or lost it at some point. Unfortunately it looks like it's a closed loophole.

Umm thats not the case. Switching to the LTE plans is still unlimated if your grandfathered in. As I did not have a problem doing so. I got the unliamted plan on a brand new line 3 months ago. bought a good shape iPhone 2g localy. PAIN to activate cause iTunes. Then after that sold it and made 10 dollar profit
I never lost my unlimited due to an upgrade. I let go of it back when I was on a BB Curve and did not need data plan on the phone. Didn't realize they were gonna cancel unlimited from their roster of data plans, so now i'm stuck with a 2GB (well 3GB with their new data plan). That's why I'm dying to get back my unlimited.
I think the only way to get it now is to know someone on the inside with the ability to manipulate the plan features.

i got suckered into changing to tiered when the "network optimization" was being threatened. Well after fighting to get it back since the 1st of the month, it finally happened last night. I now have unlimited data and a note 4 preordered on edge. im assuming i need to do the best buy sim trick even though it s preordered from verizon. basically use my current sim and not the one that comes with the phone? anyone been in a situation like this?
damn 171 views and not a singe response.
I'm betting someone was expecting a how-to on how to get unlimited data.

Be careful with the whole edge and best buy Sim trick. I've read in numerous forums where this worked temporarily but Verizon later forced the user into a tiered plan. Not sure if the user got unlimited back or not either way good luck man. Wish I could find a work around but it looks like full retail is my only option .

gcforreal- Thanks for pointing this out. I was half-tempted to try the sim trick, but I think I'll just take the 6 GB bribe instead.
I guess the only way to "upgrade" and "keep unlimited" if to do the iPhone trick, then sell it and use the proceeds to buy your Note 4 at full retail. I don't have the stomach for either method.

i dont know how much data everyone uses but if u use more than 10g a month on unlimited, the price of the phone pays for itself in about 8-9 months. on average, i use about 30g a month so paying $700 for a phone isnt a bad deal since ill be making that up in less than 3 months.
its only in the US that we're used to getting subsidized phones. everywhere else pays for the phone straight out. but then again, everywhere else in the world doesnt pay close to what the US consumers pay on a monthly basis on average.
What is the iphone trick?

That's what I was expecting to see...instead, we have a bragging thread for someone who probably uses less than 2GB of data, but went out of his way to bother and tie up customer care reps on the phone. Congratulations on your unlimited data plan though.
2gigs... I haven't used 2 gigs since the days of the og droid. My last bill was 34gigs. BTW, maybe you should reread my original post. There was a question in it. Unless you have something concerning my question, why waste your time and ours by posting?

I'm betting someone was expecting a how-to on how to get unlimited data.

Moved to Q&A as this is really a question more than a guide/general information. Please post in correct sections, thanks.
