Alcatel e227 4.84 with £10 credit with Quidco

Similar to the CPW deal 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?

    Just ordered one as a spare phone ( as I dropped my phone down the loo yesterday!!) and I went through Quidco for £10.00 back. So £4.84 for a phone with £10.00 credit. Great post

    I got the CPW offer earlier this week but the phone is really cr*p so have put that on ebay for a slight profit

    so gonna have a go with this phone

    just ordered and quidco tracked

    does anyone know when it should arrive, i'm not expecting prompt delivery for xmas but just wanted to know so can warn my housemates to expect a delivery
  • Mine arrived yesterday. Not a bad phone for the money.

    I thought that I would mention that Phones 4u register the £10 so this may not be what everyone wants. It doesn't bother me but if you wanted it as a gift or wanted top up separate.

    I opened the parcel to find the phone at the bottom of the bag loose, it had come out of the box. Shame someone did not put a bit of tape on box to secure it. The phone seems ok. The way the box had been opened it was a good job that I did want to give it as a gift.

    Thanks to the OP.

    I didnt like them activating sim for me. When i did the previous similar offers i registered and then choose my tariff(animal) before the £10 top up was credited so orange gave me my freebies for that month, which made the deal even more worthwhile
