Not strictly Aviation related but I only learnt today (after being with Vodafone for 10 years) that they offer a 20% discount plan on any price plan if you are serving military. So, my new contract for £41 was reduced to £28 per month for a new phone!!

Such a shame that I can't claim retrospectively for the last 10 years discounts!!

If MODS want to move this I understand - but it make for a decent military discount in my eyes :ok:

Hope you don't mind, will add the link I put in the ID thread

£41 to £28 is more than 30% off, not 20%. Is that a loyalty discount of some sort on top of the military discount?

No, he is a PTI and maffs really isn't his thing.

Haha!! Not a PTi, only in look and physique! ;-)

The reduction to £28 was including the 20% and some loyalty thing too, so yes a 30% reduction not to swap to '3'.

Thanks for that, having been with Vodafone for many years I think I'll be going in to bat for a discount tomorrow. TVM!

:ok::ok:

sounds good, but the cynic in me says that you're getting nothing more than they would offer to any of their other customers after a bit of persistence!

Grimmers - as a still serving member of HM's finest and looking for a new phone package, I thank you for your post.

Now if I can only find a BMW bike dealer that will give a 20% discount on a second hand R1200RT or GS Adventure??

Orange does mil discount, so too does O2 but only as a one-off cash back and only on new contracts or at renewal.

Must thank everyone for this, i have just took out a orange and a vodafone contract last week, so will head into the shop tomorrow to ask some questions. does anyone know the specifics for the orange discount?:rolleyes:

Applies to new contracts only, cannot be applied halfway through a contract.

It's a standard Employee Advantage Programme. See the Vodafone website for details.
It took several phonecalls and emails to a towerblock in Mumbai to finally get them to honour the 20% discount, but honour it they have.

Check this discussion forum out if you want to try and get a backdated discount
EMPLOYEE ADVANTAGE SCHEME - Vodafone eForum (http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly-Services/EMPLOYEE-ADVANTAGE-SCHEME/td-p/1010053)

Recently upgraded iPhone 3GS to 4S. Orange offered 20% discount on their tariff, but that only brought it down to tariff that O2 were offering without discount. O2 gave £75 credit to following bills. Went with O2.

Not just engineers - I'm aircrew and I've got one! I went into Halfords in Lincoln and filled out the form and showed my MOD90 - job done.

I don't know, after multi-skilling was brought in, I'm not so sure!

You can get discounts on lots of things, whether you're military or civilian. You only have to ask. Most people don't.

BMW bike dealer

Have a word with the military sales guy at Park Lane and see what deal you can get.

Guys, Orange should give you 25% off the package cost and you can have an additional 4 phones on separate packages (wife and kids...) under the same contract, each with the same 25% discount. :ok:
