    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?

    Yes it looks ok I guess. I wonder if the phone is locked?

    So my credit is on the phone, but when I try to register on the orange website it asks for a 4 digit PIN. I bought the phone in store and don't have this PIN. Anyone know where I can find it?

    I phoned 453 and needed to speak to customer service at a cost of 25p. It connected me, rang once then hung up :(

    If you look at post No 17 . There is a landline number posted there to a helpline 0845 601 0411
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

  • Just bought one at my local Carphone Warehouse in Woolwich. The £12.88 only apply if you pay by plastic. Paying in cash they wanted £10 more!
    As of half an hour ago, they still had 10 of them.
  • Got my £30 one today - it was in a tiny box and I was worried it didn't have a charger but it did, so I'm chuffed to bits with it. The site said it would be blue but it''s gold which is even better. Came with headphones too

    I got my £2.88 phone today but there wasn't the envelope to 'trade in' my existing phone. Does anyone know how I can return my old phone to get the £10 trade in without an envelope?
    TIA
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
