I saw an ad on telly last night, and this morning I found this.

If you move your working Vodaofne number over to XT, you can get up to $300 credited to your XT account.

True, you have to sign up to a 24 month plan, and I'm sure there are other Ts & Cs, but is this a desperate ploy to pull one over on VF, or sound marketing strategy?

What's not clear in the ad is to whether you still get the discount off a new phone when you go on to a 24 month plan. Has anyone taken up this offer, or investigated it?
