Title: Baffling Offers
Post by: Nick on October 19, 2018, 11:48:52 AM: Vodafone call and ask if I want an upgrade to my phone. Transferring stuff over is a hassle so I say no.

Vodafone say that if I have an upgrade they will REDUCE my monthly contract cost to £25. rubschin:

I say yes. So now I have a new iPhone which I have no intention of using rubschin:

Slowly the penny is dropping here that you haven't got one of those boiler service contracts that cover such. Why not especially as seems you are (a) also immersion heater free and (b) the King Midas in Reverse of water boilers? (free earworm (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_-XSGcjIhM))

It could be that the companies have realised that letting Nick have one of those service contracts may likely cost them a fortune... rubschin:
