Default Help Me Buy a XDA EXEC: I Will pay for your 1yr Subscription

EDIT*

Ok guys I will be visiting the UK this week, I really need someone to help me get this phone as o2 only sells to UK residents. I saw on one of theses treads that they now have a student price for 114 ponuds with a 1 year contract bringing the final price to around 345 pounds....CAN ANYONE HELP? FYI:
  • will pay cash
    would buy 2 if price is good (extra phone for wife)
    don't want to try EBAY :shock: that place is just to scary for me!!!
    will pay little extra for your time/trouble

Hello All,

I don't live in the UK, however I really want one of thoses black beauties (XDA EXEC). I need an o2 member to buy the phone for me with the lowest 1 year subscrition. I will then pay for the cost of the phone and half the cost of the subscription! You get a full year of service with o2 at half the online cost to use on your present phone and I get a XDA EXEC at a reduced price can any of you be willing to help me! of course this is for people who don't really want a XDA but want a new o2 contract at half the price!



Thanks[/list]

I think you'll struggle to find anyone willing to accept that deal, truth be told. O2 don't offer great deals with subsidised 'phones (in the UK at least) apart from maybe to existing customers whom they hope to retain. For example, the cheapest tariff available with a handset is something like £17 for 50 minutes but it's not difficult to find, for example Vodafone sims (with cashback) that effectively offer 1000 minutes for free. e.g.
http://www.scancom.co.uk/product.php...a1da39d5d245e6

Also, the XDA Exec will be locked to O2, maybe even to O2 Uk, so I'd either just stump up the extra for a jasjar/qtek or wait until there's a proven unlock procedure.

sorry to be so negative.

:shock: well i really hope someone is interested in helping, i know the phone will come locked, but with a community like this :lol: i KNOW i will be able to unlock it. Call me silly but the JasJar is ugly compared to the xda exec, hence me wanting one. xiasma, thanks for your feedback, i guess it would not be worth anyones time to take up my offer!

Well, it seems you're aware of the options, so if an XDA is the handset you want, O2 have suggested a contract-free price of £400, so this may be your best bet. The prices should be available by the end of the week, or Monday next week at latest, i'd guess.
I'm hoping O2 offer it on their online, business-only tariffs (£16.50+VAT / month) at less than £250+VAt for the XDA. Failing that, I don't mind which network really, and the colour doesn't bother me, so it'll probably be T Mobile, possibly on their 100mb 3G tariff.

£400...that would be the cheapest price yet for this kind of device, Do you know if this applies to non UK persons? that works out to $TT4000.00 in my currency :lol: If you get more info PLEASE keep me updated. Thanks a mill friend!

Default Somebody is deaming

T-Mobile is tradtionally the cheapest and most agressive, and they sell it for 550GBP on Germany. There is no way o2 is doing for 400GBP. your are kidding yourself. Expect, at best, between 500-600 sim free from o2. They are just never cheap to buy from o2.

haha, are you kidding?

you can get the phone for 114 + 19x6= 228 pounds, and the one who get it for you, need to pay for 114 pounds for 50 mins per months and no new phone at all?

then what is the benefit for him?

i think if i sell the phone for 400 pounds, there are a lot of people want to buy it....

then at least he/she no need to pay for the whole year contract and earn a little bit of money..
