    Yes I got it only last week. I got 400 minutes and 1000 texts for thirty five pounds. It wasn't really that difficult. They didn't supply a phone nor a sim. I just carried on with the same phone and sim.

    If it was £35 how was it free please? (or is that £35 over the year?)

    Many thanks

  • Its a total cashback deal. I pay thirty five pounds a month then every four months I claim it all back.

    Same here, when I renewed with CPW O2, I specificaly asked for and got a total cash back deal. Mines 600mins, 500 texts for £40 per month. First cashback claim just sent it, not anticipating any problems.

    Did you manage to wangle the free internet bolt on as well?

    Same here, £35 per month for 18 months, 600mins, 1000txts plus unlimited bolt-on (weekend calls).

    £30 overall for 18 months, less than £2 per month.

    Who do you get your cash back from, Carphonewarehouse via e2save or from O2?

    I am looking for a deal which does not involve the e2save con men.

    I tried to cancel an o2 CPW contract just over a year ago, citing a move abroad. They offered me completely free line rental (no cashback or claims) with 100 mins and 100 texts, just to keep hold of me. Had only been with them a year and didn't have big bills either.

    If I recall correctly, my orginal deal as with e2save but when I renewed, it was with CPW.

    Never had problems with either company so far.
