Cheapest line rental (no cashback please)

Watcha,

I'm after a dead cheap line rental (wouldn't mind sim only) for my wife incl. some minutes and texts if possible (after all without that I may as well PAYG).

Both our current contracts have are run out, so we both need to upgrade. I like the look of one of the O2 student deals (I'll also give BTmobile a call, see if they can match it or summit....) as my phones dying. She dropped hers in a puddle a month or so back and is happy with a cast off her mate gave her, so no need for new hardware there.

The current contracts were cashback and I claimed 3 out of the 4 parts. Kicking myself on the 4th, but it tells me to avoid these from now on as I can't be trusted....

Any advice / pointers would be much appreciated.

E.M.

  • Hi,

    I'd go to the orange shops and try the 6 months half price, phone trade in and referal. You could get the latest phones for £104 (min) or even an older (but still desirable) nokia 6230i for £89. (104 =200 min, 89 = 120 mins).

    To get it that cheap you need to get all the discounts and go in at 6 months to downgrade the tarif.

    The big plus being no cashback deal or sending off recipts. Your account will be credited with the discount amounts within weeks.

    If you need a telephone number for referral use I'd send you my number as I would gladly accept the £25 credit!

    i've looked at o2 student 'deals' and they seem to be 'deals' for everyone! the student website is identical (as well as the tariffs on it) to the o2 website!
