How on earth did you manage that deal?? I am the same as you, got my HTC Desire 2 years ago on a £15/pm and paid £50 for the handset. I called up and got through to retentions and they were offering nothing near that sort of deal. I have called up on three different occasions already!
[HTC One X] Spinstorm:
Should I buy a One X or One S?

This is not a simple dilemma however as I already have a white One X i bought outright from gummobile.com.

I am an O2 Guru and I have a 3 month upgrade and I am seriously considering getting another One X or a One S.

The One S is SOOO FAST - seriously side by side it makes the One X look like a granny crossing the road. I know the S has a lower res screen but that S4 processor screammmmsssss. I really am torn now... what should I do?
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Wait for the SGS3 if you've already got 1 one X and use your O2 upgrade for the Samsung. Best of both worlds.

[HTC One X] Spinstorm:
It is not a question of if I would get the GS3 - I would buy that SIM free happily and will do so - it is more an issue of if I can get a free phone that I wouldn't normally buy and play with it for a while thats great and if I get bored I can sell it.
[HTC One X] 123bally:
The way I approached it was to get my PAC code first (said I already ordered so too late). After getting my PAC code I rang back saying I wanted to check the best deal u can offer as I may cancel my order if T-Mobile can beat it. Started off haggling at around 600 mins for around 26 pounds.. kept pushing then said I want to stay with my current 300 mins and also want to keep my data and it eventually worked out.. they can definitely offer the deal.. may depend on who you speak to/loyalty points/fact I already had my PAC code.. good luck!
[HTC One X] sh500:
Yep, I did the same, got my PAC code on Thursday. Then I saw a couple posts on here with the good deals. So I called up yesterday again and said the same thing as you. My 16 years of loyalty with them obviously didn't count for anything. The lady I spoke to yesterday simply repeated the standard deals on their website, etc, saying the phone is a high end, blah, blah. Oh well.
[HTC One X] dlau77:
£420 for the handset

12 month deal on Vodafone £13pm with 300min, unlimited texts, 500mb data

Not one of the insanely good deals i've seen some people get, but I'm pretty pleased :)
[HTC One X] snowwhite007:
Is there any deals thats about at min? Want to get the wife one but tmob an orange still dont stock white
[HTC One X] spookamiester:
Don't want you guys to think I've flaked. Had a crazy weekend and I'm back in work tomorrow so will check through my inbox tonight and get back to the first load of people who are interested.

Peace
[HTC One X] saayinla:
That would be awesome mate.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Just noticed this on the Affordable Mobiles FB

3 must be twisting their arm and only allowing their contract if branded phones are supplied. Pretty crappy as every other provider from them is unbranded.

There should be a way eventually to unbrand the phone right? In the mean time I'll have to stick to custom ROMs to get clean and up to date experiences.
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
Im thinking about going with buymobilephones.net but im unsure what to do if i have problems with my phone. Anyone else know?

Sent From My HTC sensation (desire with rcmix s )
[HTC One X] Syke21:
Thanks! Can't believe how awesome that deal is.
[HTC One X] saayinla:
I do hope you ve got it in white
[HTC One X] dibdab214:
Superb :-)
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Legend :)
[HTC One X] :
a crazy weekend better than me then spending it at home ill lol, joys of a healthy body or is that unhealthy body lol :)
[HTC One X] Horridge:
O2 only have it in black, and spook thought that they probably wouldn't be getting white at all.
[HTC One X] becknise:
White or black for that spook deal is just too good. I want white myself but for a sweet deal either is good.
[HTC One X] SeriousSheep:
Awesome. I am tempted by the T-mobile deal, but if I am amongst the lucky ones that's even better :)
[HTC One X] spookamiester:
Only matte black on o2 guys, I did ask on Thursday if they'd get white but they said they didn't know, I'll check again tomorrow
[HTC One X] MarylandCookie:
Well with that deal there's really no room to complain :p
[HTC One X] Syke21:
Agreed.
[HTC One X] psb07158:
O2 aren't getting the white version apparently, nothing showing in their inventory list for it, which is a shame.

I went through Phones4U to get mine as my sister said she could retrospectively add the discount to the contract even although I didn't get it direct from O2, which is decent.
[HTC One X] riz157:
Bought mine from them very good service indeed. Placed my order on the 4th and got it for the 5th.

Placed another order today should be getting it tomorrow (white one).

BTW you get 500 text with that too which they haven't added to the tariff. so I was pleasantly surprised when i rang up T-mobile to confirm tariff.
[HTC One X] faddys123:
Today is the last day of my contract with orange I have had the desire for 2 years, has anyone got a good deal for the one x, with orange?
[HTC One X] Rahulg247:
If am not one of the lucky ones, I was thinking of getting this deal

http://www.affordablemobiles.co.uk/...ins&siteid=73669&source=webgains&siteid=20363

£40 cashback through TopCashBack

£118 for White HTC One X

£25 a month for 24 months

2000 minutes

(I think 5000 3-3 minutes on top)

5000 texts

unlimited internet (actual unlimited including tethering)

Only thing is it looks like the phone may come 3 branded...
[HTC One X] lankyfish:
3 Deal

I'll warn you you'll probably be waiting a while to get your phone if you go for this. I have had this exact deal on preorder since the 27th and still not got mine :(

Apparently the first batch of phones they got in last week were faulty (it only affected 3 handsets though so presumably it is going to come with 3 branding and bloat) and, after calling them just now, it turns out the batch they got in this morning have already all gone out to earlier preorder customers so they're out of stock again...

It's a fantastic deal but seems like I've been waiting forever.
[HTC One X] SeriousSheep:
I've never bought phones from companies like that, is there any difference from buying directly from T-Mobile in terms of service? What if my phone has a fault, can I deal with T-Mobile directly or do I have to go through them?
[HTC One X] Steve90:
I can't tell you what they are like when something goes wrong as I've never had any issues. But I did get a phone with them a number of years ago, everything with the order went well along with the free gift promotions.

You could always try Dialaphone or P4U, at least then you are able to go in store and actually talk to people. They have a number of good deals and can be negotiated down a fair bit too if you call :P
[HTC One X] saquib:
Available here for £430 on T-mobile PAYG, but I believe all phones are actually sim free and unbranded.

Plus £5 quidco available, making it £425.

[HTC One X] spookamiester:
Hey guys, just checked in at work. I've been advised that the unlimited tariff is a no go unless you're direct staff members (gets abused) but I can get the 30% discounts on any available o2 tariff.
[HTC One X] meeporox:
Hi mate, I would still be interested if I can get 30% off the tariff. What do I need to do?
[HTC One X] Rahulg247:
Hi, I am still very interested.

How would we be able to do this I was thinking of going for the £36 a month on and on tariff if thats possible?
[HTC One X] rikz:
I would be extremely interested (and grateful) in this.

How would I be able to get 30% off?
[HTC One X] dibdab214:
I would be interested in that as well

:-)
[HTC One X] becknise:
30% is still good
[HTC One X] spookamiester:
Basically, you just need to take out the tariff. I need to send off the form with your new o2 number, name and postcode . First bill will be charged as normal then 30% off there after
[HTC One X] MarylandCookie:
I guess a 12 month tariiff is unavailable for new customers.

SHould have met you before i left O2 lol..
[HTC One X] bazman70:
Oops will send PM instead of posting to all
[HTC One X] SamWhite:
Hi Spook,

It's very generous of you to offer your discounts to xda members :)

I'm upgrading tomorrow to get the One X and have sent you a PM about what I need to do next.

Many thanks!
[HTC One X] becknise:
Does this also applies to contracts taken from say phones4u or carphone warehouse. I want the white one but O2 dont stock it. Thanks
[HTC One X] :
would also like to know does this apply if bout from third party companys as have just taken one out with "www.buymobilephones.net" which on o2 network but was in white as o2 only had the grey :(

thank you
[HTC One X] twe69:
I have gone for this deal too, waiting on it though.... Quidco has tracked which is good.....

Still got about 4 weeks left on my current contract so am fine to wait :D
[HTC One X] latte33:
i had a live chat with them, they said will branded with T mobile....

Don't know whether its worth to try....:confused:
[HTC One X] riz157:
I've never had to return handset so not sure. If you have an issue within 30 days you can go back to them but there after go to HTC.
[HTC One X] saayinla:
I just did the same as the white is really what my heart is after.

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

From my experience, when you buy a phone through a 3rd party e.g mobile.net, phones4u etc., and you require a repair, they advice to contact HTC directly and HTC will arrange a repair for you, at least that is what happened in my case, I have a sensation XE from mobiles.co.uk and wife has a Wildfire S fro phones for you and in both Cases I had to call HTC directly to get a repair which was quite impressive and fast in the turn around time.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Got my HTC One X from 3. Received it last week on the 5th of April and only today they activated the contract. The phone had some issues with it as regarding rattling noise inside the phone and when typing the screen just felt out of place.

What am i getting for all this inconvenience is just five pounds credit off my next bill. so anyone who is thinking about buying this phone from 3 think again
[HTC One X] spookamiester:
I'll double check tomorrow if 3rd party sellers can apply the discount. I'm not sure how it works with them. Do they pay a set amount upfront and then sell on or do they just supply the handset and arrange a deal for the customer with the provider?

I really should know this lol

If it's the latter then it should be fine. If the companies pay upfront so the money isn't actually going to o2 then I highly doubt they'll apply the discount.
[HTC One X] jus71n:
Yeah I spoke with them earlier, they said the handsets were "T-mobile branded and sim-locked"
[HTC One X] saayinla:
Thanks for your time, I believe it is the Later and the 3rd party seller act just like an outlet store and get paid commission from O2 on the contracts sold. Once the contract has been sold, all dealings are transferred over to O2 and users can register their mobile numbers on the O2 website. So they basically supply the handset and arrange a deal with O2 so I see no reason why the discount will not be applicable IMHO.
[HTC One X] :
brill if it is that way then i will have to give my o2 details :)

if not once you find out for the discount i don't mind cancelling the contract and going through o2 directly will just have to be happy with the grey rather that white :)

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

yea this is same as me really its why went for the white as i fancied a change from black phones really and to see how it looked in white :)
[HTC One X] spookamiester:
They had the white ones in for the demo and kindly explained to us all the technical details of how they made them before letting on that we couldn't have them :mad:

They do look amazing, the matte look is pretty sexual too though so I didn't argue too much
[HTC One X] MarylandCookie:
Spook you ok to chat via PM?
[HTC One X] :
yea they do look very nice and hope the white looks sexual compared to the grey as it be a first white phone for me since always gone for the black color look :)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
just got off the phone with 3. tell me what you think guys.

i got my phone on the 5th of this month. account did not get activated till today. so for five days i had a phone without a line. i have told them about that and spend the whole entire day trying to explain that to them, and that also from the 5th till today their advisors told me that the issue would be resolved within a day which was a complete utter BS due to the fact it took till today for it to happen after i argued. So for five days i got the run around that my account would get activated and it never did till now. So what do you guys think of this kinda service? I kinda wished i got this phone from a 3rd party than 3 directly because i would probably get more goodies than the crap they send me and the poor service they provided..so guys anyone thinking about going with 3 read my post before you actually think about it
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
My history with 3 is far from good.

I nearly ended up having to take them to court, it got that bad. Anything they do does not surprise me in the slightest. There is not a low they wouldn't go to when it comes to poor service.

Would sooner pay an extra couple of quid a month for T-Mobile.
[HTC One X] faddys123:
Has anyone had any good orange deals?
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
No, they rang me a couple of times.....the last time was today after i requested my PAC code yesterday......

I had already pre ordered the 12 month Voda deal through DAP, the Orange guy said he could do me the One X free on 24 month contract........and i had racked up loads of loyalty points...blah blah.......told him i was already speaking to him via my new One X on Voda, and he was quite happy to concede and give me my code quite happily.
[HTC One X] faddys123:
How much is voda doing yours for? And how much was you offered by orange?
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
I'm on the £36/month 12 month Voda contract via DAP pre order, Orange would only offer a 24 month contract, originally they offered me a Sensation :confused: at a cheaper rate than i was originally on.......not impressed.
[HTC One X] JAC83:
Giff-gaff also offer unlimited data, with no fair usage nonsense. The only caveat is that you can't use the phone for tethering. They're also pretty cheap, with unlimited internet from £10, but you have to have an unlocked phone and by a "goody bag" each month.
[HTC One X] eightace:
I got a 3 contract sim for the £5 a month via Quidco and want an unlocked handset from a place with Quidco or one that is PAYG on 3, again offering cashback - anyone doing the same?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
you seriously asking why all the hate..fine i will tell you..if you actually bothered to read the post i posted earlier you will see that i ordered my phone on the 1st of april. phone got delivered on the 5th of april. my account did not get activated till today after i spend the whole day arguing that i wanted it sorted it out today or i would of send back everything and cancel the contract. so i had a phone on the 5th of april but not able to use it till today since account was not activated yet. and what do i get in return for all the hassle. nothing..the account is under investigation due to the complaint i made because of this..but i doubt they will give me anything...so just careful if you get a contract with them..plus if you use the phone to call someone apart customer service you can not return the phone..which i find that a lot of bull****..i mean how is someone going to find out if the phone is working or not

i will not deny they do have great deals...probably one of the top two in the country.. but as regarding customer service...they suck big time...so be warned mate..plus i am already sending them back a faulty handset..received it and it rattles. and i do not care whatever people say if you have a five hundred pound handset and it rattles then it is a defect and it is a fault. i want my phone to be perfect...and if the one i get tomorrow is the same i am going for a galaxy nexus..cause no matter what you say about samsung they always deliver with their phones
[HTC One X] Goku80:
i hear what you are saying and you are right but still that is not the point. if you are suppose to have your handset by a certain date you are suppose to be able to use your phone straight away and not be messed about..but anyway fingers crossed about tomorrow.

what i will say to you is try and go with Giff Gaff if you can they are doing some great deals from what i have seen. Anyways with regarding the bad batch of handsets. always make sure that when you make the order make sure you can send it back once you have tried the phone. and rather than give it a few days test it to the max the first day.....better be safe than sorry. i think either in this thread of a different one one member has posted what tests he has done and he found straight away a few issues with his phone.

now saying all this does not mean that all phones that will get send out are bad ones. but it is worrying that you come on the forums here and you read straight away about these issues...:(
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
And how much was the phone on that DAP deal?
[HTC One X] Aeneas:
I don't think anyone's posted after receiving the phone, but I got a white one on T-Mobile from buymobilephones.net and it's all good.

It arrived last Thursday. It's not T-Mobile branded and i don't think it's locked (can't check because I don't have any other micro SIMs or a cutter).

I know it's not unusual, but 3 months free insurance at the beginning gives me peace of mind, since there's nothing worse than breaking or losing a new phone.

Their T-Mobile tariffs are good. I also find T-Mobile's customer service to be a lot better than Orange's, but that's just my limited experience. Just which tariff one depends on what you need.

By the way, I remember them saying that they'll have more white ones in stock soon when I was checking my order a week ago.

If anyone can say I referred you (PM me), we'll both benefit ;)
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
I'm still interested. PM'd you about 10 minutes after you originally made the offer.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
on my sim only contract i can tell you the download speeds of their internet data i was hitting my max speed connection. i am based in Essex near Romford and i have nothing but good feedback to give you regarding their Internet. And yes their deals like i said are amazing. Just their customer service stinks but if you get a handset that works perfectly why worry...anyways let me know how you get on mate as i am interested to find out how you get on..

and i already got me a nice little deal from amazon regarding screen protector, case and sock pouch all for 3 quid..so if you are going to get this phone let me know and i will give you the link ifyou want
[HTC One X] Aeneas:
... Unless there was a reason why you absolutely had to use BT, I would never use them. You never hear good stories about them (not exactly Talk Talk though) and they're just so much more expensive.

It's hard for anyone to tell you whether T-Mobile speeds will be good for you, because they can vary significantly (surprisingly so) from place to place in the same town. I was in town a while ago and my connection was fine (streaming via Spotify). It shouldn't be bad, especially now that it's combined with Orange. Maybe you could call a T-Mobile store in Brighton and ask about local speed averages. Talk to them about it and what you can do if it's slow.

Full Monty is supposed to be "truly unlimited". See this.

I haven't read all of this thread but it's much cheaper to get a T-Mobile contract from, say, buymobilephones.net. This is in comparison to deals both for new customers and discounted upgrades (that I was offered by T-Mobile). Be great if I could "refer" you (PM me) - trying to make up for that missed Media Link HD from Dialaphone (who weren't offering T-Mobile deals at the time)!
[HTC One X] tinytom21:
I'm guessing you all use best-mobile-contracts dot co dot uk but that seems to have all the cracking official deals on there.

I got a 24 month contract on Vodafone at £33.50 a month.

This has 500mins, unltd texts and 500MB of data. Also the first 6 months are 99p, so actual monthly cost is £25.40 with a free (white) phone.

Mine is sitting at the post office and I can't pick it up till Saturday! FRUSTRATING!!
[HTC One X] Aeneas:
Works for me. The first link about Full Monty is an Engadget post, in which they say that it is "truly unlimited" and that they checked to make sure.

I'm going to sound like I'm plugging shamelessly, but give me your email address and I'll send you a referral link...

Seriously though, juts visit the homepages of the website, which is buymobilephones dot net.

Just find the phone (the white one is listed specifically by colour, that is, the one with no colour indicated is grey). They have 2 Full Monty tariffs. Both come with free handset.

1: £36 per month, 2000 xnet minutes, 5000 T-Mobile minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited data.

2: £41 per month, unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited data, £35 auto cashback.
[HTC One X] becknise:
I just spoke to a friend who said the contract needs to be bought directly from O2 store or their online store, based on his experience anyway.
[HTC One X] riz157:
Sales representative confirmed any faults within 28 days I can come back to them, they will arrange pickup etc thereafter contact HTC, which works for me.
[HTC One X] faddys123:
Can you give me a link for that deal?
[HTC One X] tinytom21:
Dunno if xda will let me post links but...

http://m.mobiles.co.uk/index.php?page=product&value=ONEXWHI&tariffCode=VN4Y-M2167&tariffType=PAYM

If not then just go to best mobile contracts dot Co dot uk and put in the parameters you are after. It will link you to the correct deal on the external website. This deal is through mobiles. Co.uk (which are part of carphone warehouse)
