Very Cheap Dial-Up Wanadoo Deal With New Orange Phones

I found this deal out by pure accident and it is a winner I am on it.
My parents asked me to get them a couple of non-techy low gadget low fuss mobiles, I ordered them a pair of Seimens A65s from the orange shop which we know from previous purchase for my partenrs dad is pretty good for the non-gadget type. Anyhow bagged these at £18.00 each on PAYG.
Last night I opened up the boxes and got them all set up and running for my parents before I take them around and give them some operating lesson :rolleyes:
Inside each of the phone boxes was a Wanadoo CD with a special use once code which allows you to get online on their anytime account for £6.99 per month for a whole 12 months ! My parents do not own a PC so they passed this on to me.
As I was on Virgin.Net PAYG and lately spending this amount I signed up straight away using Direct Debit / Bingo all running fine and no 12 month contract either.
This offer can be used up until August 2006, so we have two discs with two codes, come August we cancel and then sign up again which will give us a further 12 months at £6.99.
In a nut shell we have bagged around 18 months of anytime dial up for £6.99 per month.
Before anyone say well it's not broadband, I work at a place where I have full BB access and download privlages so I have been in no hurry to buy it at home.
In 12 months I hear BB will be cheap as chips.
So basically if you are looking for a PAYG phone and want cheap dial up by the phone from the orange shop online, free delivery as well.
Another thing to consider for those on another provider, we did not want to loose out Virgin email addresses, so we changed the SMTP setting on our accounts allowing us to send and recieve via the wanadoo account but still keeping our virgin PAYG email addys.
Another thing is to make sure you dial in once a month on your old PAYG account to keep this alive, thus allowing you to keep your old email address if you wish.
Saving Normal Price for Wanadoo Anytime Dial Up £179.88 per year, via this method £83.88 per year, saving £96.00 Surley that has got to be a money saver.
