    I know that when my ex worked for T-Mobile, they used that company as a kind of affiliated webstore .... so you should be fine as most of the staff ordered phones through them as they had a wider choice than T-Mobile direct.

    As long as you are happy with an 18 month contract you should be ok, dude !

    I'm just about to finish a 12 month contract with OSPS and have had no problems claiming my 11 months free line rental. I will buy my next phone from them as well. Be aware that to get the best deal you will probably need to change number. Also, make sure you use a cashback site such as rpoints or quidco - you will then get added cashback for buying your phone.
  • If you go for the deal, just be prepared for a fight to get your cash back.

    The deals on their web site don't look that brilliant anyway with the free Ipod or PSP. IMHO I would get a handset elswhere, try e2save with free line rental and with the money I save buy a PSP etc.

    I am 9 months into a 12 month contract and the first two rebates were made without trouble.
  • Hi fredy34, I got a Sony Eriksson K750i (lovely phone, incidentally) from OSPS in July. Over six months later, they STILL haven't sorted my bills out, and are overcharging me for the so-called 'free' texts each month. How hard can it possibly be to sort this out?!

    I contacted Which? who gave me some advice (including to cancel my direct debit, which I've done). Hopefully that might get some action.

    I appreciate that this is only one person's experience, but I wouldn't deal with them again if you paid me!

    Best of luck.
