zax_2

hi there
i have been resisting the move to a contract phone for long enough. now i need to upgrade/
i want a new phone obviously and wouldlike to get around 200min and maybe little texts though thats not a must.
can any one recomend a link for me to get this.
i browsed the link and the carphone warehouse, but i am very confused with the mass offerings...
many thanks in advance

Hi

What network are you currently using, do you want to stay with the same network or change, also are you OK getting a contract through a cashback deal?


I got this a few months ago, I have had a good experience so far.

o2 200 has 200 minutes x-net minutes plus 100 (or 50) free texts. I would therefore go for that or Orange on their Orange Value Promise (OVP) to o2 200. If you do not want to go with an online retailer, The Link have a number of offers instore at the moment on 12 months free line rental/12 months contract, with free phone, by cashback. See other thread.

Alternatively, depending on the deal and coverage in your area, Three network include many more minutes/texts for around the same price.

Vodafone online have a tariff of 200 mins and 250 texts for £25 if thats any help?

i like the o2 tariff. its got rollover minutes, inclusive calling to 0870/0845/0800,etc, free voicemail, free ITS (slightly cheaper roaming calls), they throw in a few text messages.

paper itemised bills do cost extra, but you can check your bill (including itemised calls) all online.

price is £30 a month. however there are a load of cashback deals for this tariff. one of the best retailers is mobileshop, however e2save, cpw, etc will probably have deals on. have a look at http://www.reestit-mutton.co.uk/ for deals. also remember redemption cashback using the likes of quidco, rpoints, etc.

You don't get cheaper than for free. Here's a link:

I like the way they work, when you order they send you an A4 sheet with four vouchers A, B, C, and D, all of them have expiry dates. You send off voucher A with your 5th bill, I sent off my 5th bill back in November and am due to send my 7th bill at the end of the January, on the day they get your bill and voucher they send you an e-mail to say they have received your claim and by which date you will get your cheque "We are pleased to confirm receipt of your cashback voucher --1-2A *Expected Voucher A Payment Date: 04/03/2006*", you have to wait about three months for your money but at least you know where you stand.

I have just spoken to their CS: he told me that the money is sent after 45 days.

Yes that's right 45 days, it depends on how you look at it,
"Providing all terms and conditions have been complied with, your payment will be processed within 45 days of the expiry date"

My 5th bill date was 22nd of November 05
I got my bill and sent a copy to them, which they got on the 1st of December 05, but I think my voucher didn't expire till about the 17th of January 06, I'd rather send my bill in on time than wait till nearer the voucher expiry date.

From when I sent my voucher it will be about three months
From the voucher expiry date it will be 45 days
