Mobile phone contracts for 10+ people

[EINSIGN]

Coming up to the end of our mobile contract. Need 10 phones (might be a couple more) over half blackberrys or similar for emailing on the go. The rest can be half decent standard handsets.

Currently pay £400 to £500 each month with Vodafone, not really excessive usage or texts.

No idea what deals are around at the moment, normally get some 'orrible teenager trying to sell us contracts every day of the week, when you actually need one no-one is calling!

Might also be good to compare with what you guys are paying.

I'd say you are pretty much on the money with Vodafone.

Why not ask them how much a 'no phone' upgrade will be? I did this a year or two ago and got £300 on two phones on the contract. I reackon they'd probably drop £2k today to keep you.

I recently renewed with Vodafone, similar requirements to yourself - 8 phones with a mix of iPhone/Blackberry.

At the time Voda were only doing the iPhones direct but I was very impressed by the in store business specialist, and having direct access to customer service rather than going through our old reseller is a godsend.

I could have paid slightly less with O2 but the reception just isn't as good in a few key locations.

Got 40 connections inc 8 iphones, 28 Blackberries on O2, Can't remember exactly, but pay in the region of £1100 a month.

This wasn't the cheapest we were offered (Try T-mobile for that!)

Vodafone confused me as they were not particularly interested and sent an odd email saying something along the lines of 'do you really want the hastle of changing supplier, just to save a few hundred pounds a month?' !! - Very odd.
