    Sorry to be thick about this, but what is OVP?

    Plus, would much prefer the Samsung E530.

    To be honest in view of discussions concerning the ramifications as to whether or not you can even get the cashback at various points in the contract, I am really wary. Would not discount it, but have been on the receiving end of something like this in the past - lets just say it was not good!

    Am looking for a Talk 120 or Talk 200 contract.

    I suspect we are all in the same boat, insofar that we'd prefer a lower price, to the "freebie" add-ons that companies offer. But I suspect that companies are only interested in retaining or enhancing income streams from customers

    There seem to be some good cashback deals on O2 with 200-250 xnet anytime minutes & 50-100 texts per month. BUT, for the phone you are looking for Lou.

    Have a look at these offers

    I'm not too fussed about a phone's make & model myself; but if there was an extra 100 minutes added to these deals I'd probably plump for one. As it is, I'll hold out for a few weeks longer, to see if the prophecy comes true.

    anyone ever bought off the cold calling india salespeople?

    Today i was offered a motrola v3 on orange which worked out at £10pm for 200 x net mins anytime.

    I had to send the bills back like other companies. He told me he was calling on behalf of e2save.

    As i was wary i got a 0808 number from him to call him back.

    anyone with any views

    Motorola L6 on O2, 200 + 100, 12 month contract, 12 months free line rental by cashback. But it's with Phones 2 U, so perhaps not.

    I nearly bought two L6s from OSPS. From the OSPS website:

    "> 12 Months Free Line Rental, 2000 Free Minutes per Month. 200 (100 after promo period) Free Texts per Month.<" 12 month contract.

    but looking at the tariff more closely and it's the Leisure tariff, so peak rate calls are an expensive extra.

    Still looking.

  • i know OSPS's reputation is not that good but i just wanted to tell you guys that i just checked their website and it seems like they have already started their massive jan sale. I wanted motorola u6 pebl on O2 leisure time plus, before it was 3 months free line rental and now its jumped up to 6 months in just a week. I will probably be ordering mine on the weekend. Unless i find something better somewhere else. :D
