free laptop when you sign up for 3mobile broadband

Options
just seen on the tele, pcworld are doing an offer where you sign up to 3 mobile broadband and get a laptop worth £399 for free

does anyone know if this is a good deal - sounds it to me but then the reason 'we are always skint' is because imtoo gullible :rotfl:

any advice greatfully received thanks as i could really do with this deal du to my little one desperately wanting a laptop for xmas

just done some digging and from what i can see the tarrif is £30+ a month for 5(whatever those little letters are lol) but you can get 7 for £25 going direct?? thought it was too good to be true

    £960 quid for the 24 months on the Sony
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    Not exactly a bargain when you consider that the same broadband package through Quidco is £7.50 per month for existing customers or £15 per month for new customers both with £12.50 cashback.

    Taking the Sony example above, the total cost going through Quidco would be £347.50 over 24 months, meaning that in effect you are paying £612.50 for your laptop.

  • please be aware, 3 are doing mobile broadband on pay as you go, one of payment, you would think pay as you go would mean like ur normal mobile however much you top up thats how much you have to spend, but be aware this is not the case, i topped up with £40 thinking after id spent that it would cut me off not so, the same with contract mobile broadband, once you go over your allowance bang they charge u big time i now have a bill for £80.00 we have only used it a couple of times , they are suposed to txt u when u go over your allowance, we got 6 txt allerts all in one go but by then the damage was done, for a £10 top up you only get 20 mins max, and its hit and miss when it works, I think t-mobile would of been better they have a fair usage policy, if you go over they wil not charge you but inform you of this problem, of course its contract but you work it out how much i have been conned out of, please STAY AWAY FROM THREE, there help desk is in india and a joke
