Hi there I am due a handset upgrade on the 27th of May but my question is can this only be done Direct with Vodafone or can it also be done at Carphone Warehouse?
Many thanks Glenda

Just to let you know I'm actually looking to upgrade on the 10th of April as soon as you can pre order the new S8 do you think Vodafone would wave the upgrade fee and also match the upgrade deal's that Carphone Warehouse are doing? Many thanks Glenda

Ok I will just ask them and see what they say but I can't really wait until I am out of contract to get the best deal because that isn't until 28th of February next year and that is just so long.

I don't think I made it clear I am on a SIM only contract with Vodafone and I will be using their flexible upgrade option after 3 months of being on the SIM only contract to upgrade to a new phone so does this mean I can only upgrade direct with Vodafone after all?

Allowing to upgrade after 3 months, is a special deal in its own right.

The Early Termination fee of 9 months is waived. So chances are there Vodafone will not offer anything on top of that and if they do will be very minimal.

 

If you were looking to get the S8, then should have signed up to 30Day SIM and that would have allowed you to negoatiate a better deal.

 

Defintely do call them, but don't be disappointed if what they offer is not good.

Ok no worries but I do have a question do I actually have to call them or would it be ok to upgrade on the chat?
Many thanks

I prefer the live chat but what do you think will get me the best deal live chat or call?
Many thanks Glenda

I have another question have you ever upgraded over the live chat before?

I usually upgrade using Live Chat. Once you connect to Live Chat, just ask "Just wanted to see my upgrade options"

 

You will be passed to the Upgrades Team and from then on depends on your negotiation ability to get a acceptable Deal.

 

As I said, don't get your hopes high as you might be not get what you are looking for.
