    You can trade in an old phone for £10 (online or instore) so with cashback of £5 via Topcashback etc they are paying you to buy the phone. :D
    (cashback: £5. Trade-in: £10. =£15 - less cost of phone and credit (£12.88) = £2.12 in your favour.)

    You can trade-in online? I went to a store because I wanted to do a trade in but if I could do the same online AND get £5 extra I would. Presumably though postage would wipe that out?
  • I ordered Sunday, am I likely to receive today?

    The credit is applied within 2 days.
  • Can someone who has received phone confirm whether it is indeed unlocked? I need one to use with Lebara mobile for international calls but all my handsets are locked... thanks!

    Yes, there is a box to tick at the bottom of the shopping basket page (easy to miss though). They send you a pre-addressed freepost bag and a claim form, so no postage to pay.

    With your new handset we will send you a pre-addressed freepost bag and a claim form. You can receive the following discounts:
    £10 All pay as you go phones.
    (£5 for the handset, £2.50 for the charger and £2.50 for manual).
    You should complete the form and return the old phone (and the manual and charger where applicable) to the address on the envelope. The mobile you trade-in must be in full working order. Once we have received your trade in we will post you a cheque to the value of the trade-in amount within 28 days.

    My phone arrived this morning by Citylink but as I missed delivery, for some strange reason they took it to my daughter's place of work! How they knew where she worked I don't know but I wasn't impressed as they didn't leave a card to say they'd taken it elsewhere and what if it had been a present for her? :mad:

    Just received mine (ordered Sunday) and my Virgin sim card works fine, so yes it is unlocked. They forgot to include a trade-in envelope though. :(
    Not sure what happened to the one I ordered last week!?
