SWAP.IT from The Carphone Warehouse

Saturday, July 14, 2007

The Carphone Warehouse has launched a unique new promotion called SWAP.IT. It allows customers to exchange their mobile phone for a new model after nine months. Carphone claim this is their biggest proposition launch so far for this year. The offer is available with a range of free phones and is subject to an 18 month contract costing £35 per month. The choice of phones available include the three most popular from the mid range sector - Nokia 6300, Sony Ericsson K810i or Samsung U600.

After nine months the customer can visit a Carphone Warehouse store and exchange their phone for a newer model. The exact models available will depend on availability at the time and will also depend on the monthly line rental. On a £35 tariff the 6300 can be exchanged for a 6500 classic, the K810i for a T650i and the U600 for a F210. These are mid-range phones and appear to be slightly lower spec compared to the phones they will be exchanging. From the examples provided by Carphone, it would seem they will be offering a phone that is newer but not necessarily better.

Customers will be able to exchange for a more expensive phone but will need to pay an additional fee. Phones will be banded as bronze, silver or gold. Bronze phones will incur no additional cost. Silver will cost £49.99 and gold £99.99. Customers who choose a £40 or £45 tariff will be able to exchange for a silver band phone for free. High users spending £50 per month or more on their line rental will be able to choose a gold band phone for free.

It's important to note that when exchanging the customer must hand over their existing phone. In monetary terms it's unlikely that the newer phone will be much more valuable than the old. For example, in nine months time a K810i might fetch £60 if sold on eBay. The T650i would probably attract about the same price.

18 month contracts are not such a good deal

Friday, March 30, 2007

It has been reported that large numbers of 18 month contract customers are now realising that a longer contract wasn't such a good idea. They may have got extra minutes and texts, but they are not getting a new handset as often as they would like.

Many customers who want the new Nokia N95 or LG KE970 Shine will have to pay hundreds of pounds to buy one SIM free as they are still tied into their old contract and old phone after more than 12 months. A backlash against 18 month contracts is anticipated, with more customers opting for 12 month deals.

The problem has also been felt by networks and dealers. They have found it difficult to sign up new customers who are tied into 18 month contracts. Orange have now started to push new 12 month contracts by offering more minutes and texts. T-Mobile have also introduced 12 month versions of their Flext tariffs and other networks are expected to offer better value 12 month contracts from April.
