    Full link for those that are looking.

    Isn't there a time limit though for using the free credit?

    Catchy Thread Title by the way - I must congratulate you on your originality!

    Thank you for compliment. It was very funny to see two threads side by side. Now I desided to change the title and heep the thread afloat another day ;)

    Oops! I can change the title of the post, but not of the thread! :doh:

    Don't worry Grumbler, perhaps we should just get in touch with Nokia and get them to officially change the name of the phone to the 'Mega-Cheap Nokia 1100' - so much catchier than just 'Nokia 1100' don't you think?

    This offer looks pretty good assuming you don't have to use up the free credit within a short timespan, but you do have a much larger initial outlay than from Virgin - although if you use it on FRESH they are effectively paying you £10 to take it off their hands!

    There may be a catch: the small print for the Fresh tarif says "The inclusive credit on connection lasts for 60 days from account connection."

    These terms are buried in the Fresh tarif page: click on Fresh on the link below, and go to the bottom of the page. http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/commerce/servlet/gben-pd-ProductDisplay?S=40&PN=PAYGO&filter_partModel=NOK1100

    Any idea when "account connection" is?

    Ihave looked at the details in CPW brochure for June,(page 52).

    What is actually happening is that for those who top up £20 when they buy the phone, (and this is compulsory to get the £29.99 price),will have £60 CREDIT AS THEY SAY THEY ARE TRIPPLING THE VALUE OF THEIR CREDIT THEREBY GIVING CALLS AT 1/3 THE USUAL PRICE.



    This still, as the initial credit on registration, has to be used in only 60 days, so if you are a light user you will lose out.

    As I would usually only use about £10 per month this would be expensive.

    They make their deal very difficult to understand.

    ...Far too difficult...

    P.S. Just received e-mail from CPW:

    '...Thank you for your e-mail regarding to the Fresh network.

    Please be advised there you have 30 days to use the £60 top up on the Fresh no line rental ever network....'
