Re: Anyone order the N900 on contract?
 

No, its free with WnW. Why are you saying these things?


Early last year, Tmobile's network was getting very popular with data users because of the great deals they were offering compared to the rest and their 3G network was getting hammered. So they started offering free access to Tmobile and BT hotspots with a 40gb fup.

That has since changed recently with only 300mins allowed on BT Openzone and 30gb fup on Tmobile hotspots.

I recently dropped down to Combi 20 with WnW plus and i have free hotspot access. You just need to speak to CS about it, agree legal terms and they will text you your login details.

Re: Anyone order the N900 on contract?
 

Because T-Mo want to charge me extra for access as a contract add-on via the website.

Current contract Flext-60 & WnW Plus. I've had this for nearly three years now, so this may be a 'new customers only' thing.


I'm gonna get on it in the morning. I hope you're right. Thanks.

Edit : actually, I won't - I'm gonna cancel and change my current contract when my N900 comes. I'll probs unwittingly commit myself to another 18months of this one if I get hotspot access added.

Re: Anyone order the N900 on contract?
 

If you do it via the website, it will say you are being charged but when the bills comes, you get a credit to cover the cost.

Stupid system. :rolleyes:

Hotspot access is a monthly item you can switch on and off, so you should be ok.

Re: UK N900 FREE with contract - anyone ordered?
 

Does anyone know and/or how can we tell if either of these deals will involve branded and/or otherwise crippled n900 handsets?

I don't want to commit to >12 months, only to discover that half
the features I most want are disabled!

Ditto will they be network locked (although that is less of an issue for me)?

Would like to know this too but I would imagine there is no way of knowing until they hit the streets. Decided to hold off on a pre-order and wait it out. It's gonna be a long few weeks. :rolleyes:

Re: UK N900 FREE with contract - anyone ordered?
 

I just had this conversation with the live help thing on mobilephonesdirect:
So you definitely get a unlocked phone with no operator crippling. I'm now seriously considering ordering it on Combi 25+WnW, since over 18 months that works out to £540 in total, only £40 more than sim-free from nokia direct. He didn't say whether the contracts were likely to get better or worse, but they are likely to change apparently, and I would be surprised if it ended up cheaper to buy out an entire contract than just to buy it sim free, so they can't get that much cheaper. Also, the N97, which is the same price or cheaper sim free, can't be had on as good a deal.
RE Hotspots: they should be free with WnW plus, which is the 3gb mobile broadband option, not with normal WnW which is included in these contracts.

Re: UK N900 FREE with contract - anyone ordered?
 

If you look at the t&c's of the fair usage policy, it says there are no additional charges if you go over the 1gb limit unless you go over it with regularity. Interesting....

Re: UK N900 FREE with contract - anyone ordered?
 

I spoke to a T-Mobile sales guy, and this was the main thing that made me decide on T-Mobile. An actual "fair" usage policy

Re: UK N900 FREE with contract - anyone ordered?
 

Hmm, pre-ordering is suddenly becoming more appealing again. Does anyone know if you can supply a PAC code and have your number switched over after getting a shiny new N900 and T-Mobile contract? I would be moving from O2.

Re: UK N900 FREE with contract - anyone ordered?
 

Sure, get your PAC when closing your O2 contract
