after reading the forum threads regarding reconnecting on a term contract for 24 months under the old cdma system i rang customer services on wednesday asking if it was true that i would get a $299 voucher toward a new mobile device on the xt network? i was told yep that is the case..however she (customer services) said i would be better off waiting till friday as the dealers would have better if not equivilant deals or promotions to entice people onto the new network..she admitted she did not know what the promos were however she said it would certainly be worth my while. she said she would ring me fri afternoon/evening...(its just after 6 pm friday eveing and no call so far)
soooo... i waited..and friday afternoon ,strolled into the nearest leading edge telecom store and spotted a phone i could be interested in..i asked the lass shop assistant whats the deal re the $299 reconnect offerand do they have promo deals similar to it..she said no, those deals were only for pre xt network customers.
so i walked out, disappointed,dejected as i had been hanging out for this new network
i had 2 mobile contracts with telecom up until my pda was destroyed by a car wheel(dont ask) this was on mobile broadband and i also had my work mobile..combined would average about $350 to 400 a month
i am now seriously looking at vodafone as the telecom range of phones and devices seems rather thin to be honest..the sony ericsson being the exceptions.
i wonder if anyone else has had similar experiences?
