Meteor increase price of phones on upgrade

vengeance52

Hi all,

Few weeks ago I was pricing an upgrade on meteor in my local shop. I was looking at HTC Sensation and Samsung Galaxy SII.

On the plan im on (Smart 35) they told me €150 for upgrade handset.

I decided to wait to the release of the HTC Sensation XL (today) and I rang back and they told me the Sensation and Galaxy SII are now €199 and the new Sensation XL is €229.

That is a joke. How can they justify putting up the prices like that when a newer phone is released.

Im strongly thinking of moving away from Meteor at the moment.

All networks review and update prices monthly.
They dont have to justify it to anyone.

haha, the older the hardware gets, the cheaper it becomes normally, they have upped there upgrade prices, now its the same as someone that just walks off the street.

I thought the point of an upgrade was that you get a discount cause of loyalty?

Maybe they just bumped the prices for xmas and then will drop it again. either way, Im not upgrading with the current prices.

if you are on an 18 month contract can you get an upgrade after 12 months or do you have to wait the 18 months?
