Hi EddyOS and ianfreeman,
What we did was to take one of our 18 month deals, reduce the commitment and half the price.
The winner can accept the prize as either an upgrade or a new connection, however they must be within the upgrade eligibility rules in order to take this as an upgrade.
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
Ianfreeman, I’m sorry to see you feel like that.
I’ve sent an email to your registered eForum email address, so if you’d like to reply with the requested information we’ll be more than happy to look into this further for you.
When I referred to the upgrade eligibility rules, this is when you have 70 days or less on your current contract.
Kayleigh2010 and marks2011, you can see how to win a great
contract with a free phone above
EddyOS, as I said above, this offer is available to anyone within the upgrade eligibility rules of 70 days or less. Anyone else who wishes to enter can take this as a new/additional connection.
Donna80, this ultimate offer is for the free phone on the detailed price plan. If you’re within your upgrade period, you could enter and win this great plan which you won’t get anywhere else!
Bgs264, if you have 70 days left on your contract and you won, you would have the plan detailed above at £17.50 for 12 months from the date we set this up and then at £35.00 for the remaining 70 days (for example) towards the end of your contract.
Best of luck to everybody for today’s draw! 
Best wishes,
Jenny
