    Does anybody get cheesed off with mobile phone upgrade offers?

    10 off the handset and 10 less call credit type of thing?

    It is really the stuff of nonsense.

    It's pay as you go, what do you expect?

    If you want cheap upgrades, get a bill phone.

    I agree but they could make a bit more of an effort.

    Do you actually have any understanding how business works?

    Tell ya what, how about they increase call prices by 10% and drop the cost of phones by 10%?

    The reason for this is pretty simple. With Pay as You Go there is nothing sticking you to the operator.
    You could do what I did for example, bought a Meteor phone, unlocked it, and am now using it on O2. If Pay as you Go phones were cheap then the mobile companies would lose quite a bit of money subsidising the costs of the handsets.
