Contract Required

Hi guys,
I desperatley am in need of the cheapest/free contract available for 12 months - my financial sitaution being very low and my requirement for a phone being high. I can't use PaYG because I need about 200-300 minutes per month....it confuses me even more that there are soooo many companies offering contracts and I can never seem to find the best one.
Is there anyone out there who can help? I'm not particularly bothered about the phone as long as it works and I can make calls from it.
Thanks guyz,

    Have a look at carphone warehouse - lots of special offers at mo including £4.99 per month for 18 months including 500 mins or I think it was £9.99 for 12 months.

    If you can make the monthly payments and can afford to wait to claim cashback, this works out free over 12 months. its a basic phone but makes calls and texts which is the major requirement.

    I Had a 12m contract last yr with full cashback and even tho people do have problems, i was fortunate not to (probably because i kept on top of the "claim-back" dates).. anyway this yr i've got another one:

    free line rental for 12m (on a 12m contract).
    200mins xnet (plus 100 txt - which is more than id use anyway)
    free fone also (its a basic nokia model but looks nice and very easy to use !!)

    this is my 2nd yr on "free-contracts" and both times i got it from ****with no hassle. i've recieved my 1st cash-back claim with no hassle.... as long as you can REMEMBER WHEN TO CLAIM BACK, there's no worry (many people send their claims TOO EARLY OR TOO LATE thats y they miss out on these typeof deals)...

    but if your some1 who can keep on top of these things (like me).. ITS GREAT.. AND WELL WORTH IT !!! doesnt cost anything .....

    of course you have to pay your monthly bills as usual, which means you would need to have enough money in your bank acc for at least 3 to 4 months of line rental , until you are paid back via the cashback... its the only downside i see...

    for got to mention that if you dont want a basic standard fone, then you can still find plenty of good deals on newer handsets at reduced rental ....
  • Thanks DEMO for your post. I have had to remove the website in accordance with MSE rules as the website is an affiliate linked website.

    Thank you, Board Guide icon7.gif

    Demo - perhaps you can name the company without the affiliate link. Im looking for one of those 12 months free with a RELIABLE cashback retailer - any advice?
