Or are offers like this pretty common?

Also, it says 12 months free line rental but 12x30=360, cashback is only 315 :confused:

Edit: Just found same phone on better contract here!

    3 Charge you half price for the first 3 months so thats where the differance of £45 comes into play.
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    OK thanks for that explanation.
    The thing is, I am a light user, so will be unlikely to exceed the 400 minutes and 250 texts a month. This means my bill will be £0.
    If my line rental is £0 and the phone is £0, total spend is £0!!! Seems too good to be true. What's the catch apart from having to send off bills for cashback?
    Surely 3 can't be making money with deals like this? :confused:

    catch is that a vast amount of people forget to send the bills back in time to claim the money. And in my case i thought i had to send in a later bill, but found out from this site that i was wrong and would have missed the cashback! so they would have kept the money.
