Default T-Mobile pricing mistake

I've just been to my local T-Mobile UK shop to have a look at the Ameo before buying it. I was asking about the prices and the assistant (I think he must have been the manager) showed me the printed price list for the various tariffs. The one that stuck out was Flext 35+ (I think - it was £47.50 pm) with the cost of the handset at £119. It was completely at odds with the prices on the other plans - ie the ones costing more per month were much more expensive. The guy said it was probably a typo but he would put it through as that and override it if necessary. It was and it should have been £309. As you can imagine I was well pleased and I bought it on the spot!

I won't say which T-Mobile shop as I don't want to get him into trouble but if you are interested I think it would be worth going down to your local shop and see what they could do...

I dont understand why you guys think this is such a good deal, even though I paid more for my phone (£240) over the 18 month minimum contract, I am paying less @ 37.50 per month. My deal is still available direct from the T-mobile website !!

Hi

have a look at this !!!!

T-Mobile Zakelijk 1 Jaar 2 Jaar
Optimaal 2x € 299.00 € 25.00

(www.smartphonestunts.nl)

This is a dutch website (at which I bought my universal)

This is with a so-called business plan, which is 2x dataplan. at 12,50 each per month.

so 12months x12,50 x 2 x 2years + 25 phone = 625,- euro for a brand new Athena

and with a nice spread "payment" plan.

nice huh. ?

greetings,

Wout

ps. who can not afford 25euro per month ?
