    This phone look like the F3 with colour-is the text that horrible large "Blocky" type?(The F3 is)
  • Ordered mine on Tuesday evening, and it arrived yesterday lunchtime. But as I wasn't in had to go and pick it up. Still that is an impressive turn around time.

    Only grumble is that on the CPW website I did check the box to include an envelope to return my old mobile. But no envelope, just CPW promotional junk mail. So will use the advice on MSE about getting money for old mobiles.

    Just bought the £30 PAYG 'free' one and then had a worrying thought. Can anyone tell me (with Orange PAYG) do you have to top up regularly or stand the risk of being turned off the network, or can I use that £30 over a year and it all works fine? Thanks

    453 is not the no for ALL networks--i think their all different, also dont some networks insist on a PAID call? to keep the phone activated?

    I just dialed 453 on my £2.88 phone with the Orange PAYG sim in and it was a free call and it told me my credit.

    You are correct different phone network have different terms and conditions and I think some to expire credit.

    The original post from bruffyboy asked about an Orange PAYG SIM. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=16836503&postcount=142

    You are correct these terms and the access number are specific to Orange PAYG.

    Is this deal not better for the people that have missed out? phones 4 u have a phone for £4.84 (alcatel e227), you have to top up £10 so total comes to £14.84. With Quidco you get £10 off making it £4.84 for phone and credit....am i Missing something or is this better than the CPW and a bargain. Again the phone is poor but this must be good?
