    I think that you will find that Carphone Warehouse, like many others, have a price match policy ... on the price of handsets. As handsets are mostly free, it is not worth the webpage it is typed on :)

    All the people trying to get CPW to price match, as Anon said, I think they only match the handset price so you will probably waste your time.

    I have said this a million times before but E2Save WILL match priceplans and are part of Carphone Warehouse so use them instead!

    As has been said this deal looks like the ticket if you can get the cash back out of them.

    I wouldn’t want to get caught with out cancelling it after 12months though.

    Has anyone seen if e2save will match it? It looks like you would be able to get £26.50 back on it with quidco if you finish your contract properly from e2save, and £18.50 for a years phone usage wouldnt be bad an extra few quid for the security of going with e2save.

    I and others have asked e2save to price match mobile rainbow and been told no - with the implication that the mobile rainbow deals are too good to be true...
    I think....

    Not the deal gizzmo pointed out which was;

    Sony Ericsson K608i with 12months on videotlak text 1100 (£45/Month) and 11months line rental cash back.

    And the direct links are dead :<

    Well, I think so far the Sony Ericsson K608i on talk and text 600 from mobile rainbow looks like the best bet if you want a reasonable handset, and are prepared to gamble on them paying up ;o.

    If you are keen on this phone, wouldn't Video, Talk & Text 700 at 10 months free work out cheaper in the long run? 2 x £35 = £70 compared to T&T 600 12 * £8.99 = £107.88 (without taking into account going through cashback sites which will reduce it further).

    Otherwise, MR have other phones on 3 for 12 months free on 12 month contracts from the homepage.

    Personally I don't think that am going to gamble on them paying up.
