Hi Folks,

Was helping one of my friends this afternoon get a new Orange mobile phone and the Orange shop offered him half price line rental for 6 months, a free
SE K750i and a £100 credit if he handed in an old phone, so he handed in a Nokia 402...Can you remember them!!! hehe...

So £100 bill credit for a Nokia 402 and half price line rental on Talk 120 - Not a bad deal I thought!!!

    I was advised by the Orange shop that it is on until the end of this week, not sure if its only specific shops though. Best thing to do would be to go in and ask
  • Having just done it yesterday, I can confirm that the buy back is still on at £100 until next Tuesday at least... although what I went for was £50 buy back for an ancient Nokia 'brick' and then £50 refer a friend (and my mate got £25).

    So the deal was:
    New Sony Ericsson 750i - Free
    200 minutes - 6 months half price (£15), 6 months full price (£30) = £270
    30 text bundle (£2) = £24
    £50 for old phone = -£50
    £50 refer a friend = -£50
    TOTAL = £194 for 12 months, 2,400 inclusive anytime minutes, 360 inclusive texts AND a new phone.

    Does this £100 bill credit usage has a expiry?. If not, on a Talk 120 half price, this should take care first 7 months of line rental. Correct me, if I am wrong.

    No, you're not wrong ... the credit is to the account, so you'll pay nothing for the first seven months... but then you've got £25 for 5 months, so they'll still get £125 out of you.

    The in-store offers even beat the usual suspects (the discount cashback sites).

    OSPS want £88 (including cashback) for the K750i but this would work out at £125 with Orange over 12 months (am I right), might well be worth a visit.

    I was told that the credit of £100 can take anything up to 3 months to be applied to your account
