Wanna new phone? Can you wait til Jan?

socmwils23

I was in the local O2 store yeterday looking at contract phones and was advised by the lady in there to wait two weeks before buying if i could. Her reason was that at the end of this month a lot of new phones will be coming out and o2 (and she assumed other networks) would start reducing the prices of the slightly older phones as a result.

The main phone she said would come down in price was the N70 due to the n90 being released. There was another Nokia due out (a 6*** cant remember the rest) which she also said would reduce the price of similar style phones.

Something to think about anyway i guess and i for one am waiting as at the moment i just cant find a phone to get excited about at the prices they want for them currently. To be honest i just cant find a phone to get excited about at all.

11.0 Cash Back and Half Price Line Rental Entitlements

11.1 All cash back and half price line rental entitlements are paid in two stages; the first stage is at month 6, the second at month 12. Once you are in receipt of your sixth bill you need to forward the original bills from month 1-6 within 21 days from the bill date illustrated on your sixth bill. Where a claim is not made within this time period the cash back entitlement is lost for your 2nd due installment at month 12. To claim the second half of your cash back entitlement, forward us your 11 and 12 months bill, again this must be with 21 days from the date shown on each of these bills. 11.2 All cash back and half price rentals must be made in writing, and with Original bills only being acceptable. Copies are not acceptable. Once we are receipt of your documentation, please allow 28 days for delivery of cheques. Original bills are not returned unless a stamped address envelope is provided. Point 11.1 is not applicable to 18 month contracts.

Hi

First post, so hope I get this right! The £1.99 is a one-off charge for a credit check and to verify your details against your card. I was looking at this deal the other day, but I left it, as I can't see any company informtion on the website at all. The registered number isn't there and I have never known of anyone having had dealings with this company.

I checked on Companies House and 'The Mobile Outlet UK' is registered in Bristol, with the Customer Call Centre being in Shipley, Bradford. The company was incorporated in August, and so no accounts have been filed. I'm not even sure if this is the same company as that on the CH website, as The Mobile Outlet may just be atrading name.

I didn't fancy taking the risk, though.

If anyone can add further information I would be most grateful.

Cheers

Rob

Someone on this forum had problenms with this cashback schedule, apparently it means the 11th and 12th bills should be sent seperately, each one within 21 days wheras I am sure most people would read it as both bills together within 21 days of the 12th bill. WOrth doing a search to get full details methinks...

As your original post suggested inside knowledge, and I cannot recall seeing a sudden rush of offers over the past few weeks, are there any other dates to watch out for which may prompt better offers?

Many thanks
