;) How about this for a bargain...


Woolworths are selling the Sagem MYC2-3 Pink Flip Mobile on T-Mb for £34.99:

Dixons Mobile Accessories are selling the Kondor Bling Pink and Silver Sticker Kit (126) for £3.99 (free P&P):

(Update: Out of stock until 2/3rd March 06)


Small amount of DIY later, and you have a brand new blinged out pink mobile flip phone on the T-Mb network for less than £40! (Am typing fast as off to go and buy the mb from the v.limited stock available in my local Woolworths!). Don't be put off by staff saying that they've only got the blue model of the phone, get them to check the side of the box as to the colour content inside as I got caught out by this yesterday.


The Swarovski version of the bling kit is here at £7.50 (300) & £1.99 P&P:

Vodaphone version is here at £50 plus £2.95 P&P:

...and here are some very interesting alternatives with even more interesting price tags, essentially doing the same DIY job that I'm suggesting for up to FOUR TIMES the cost:

Note: The Newgen C800 shown in the above link is onsale at Tesco for only £79.97 (free P&P), earning 79 Points, and you can now use any Clubcard Vouchers you may have online to crash the price of the mobile down further. Not investigated myself, but there may be some relevant discount codes that could also be used...! I note the model in the link was £149.98 inc P&P!

I'm not sure how long Woolworths will be selling the handset for at this price, which is why I have posted it on this thread, however, it would still be a bargain at £40, plus the £4 for your bling kit, still only totalling £44! It's a decent spec phone at a bargain price on a noted network - you can't lose!!! Check the mobile phones thread for information on whether this model can be unlocked, but if not, then keep your ear out for the (sadly rare) occassions when T-Mb give away free SIM cards.

I hope this helps someone out there (I'm almost beside myself with joy, but I'm easily pleased) and if you do find it useful, your thanks in advance are appreciated. It feels good to give a little something back to my fellow MSE's.

    I'm not exactly after a mobile (much less a pink one!), but just to say that you appear to have already given a lot back to your fellow MSE's - being thanked 24 Times in 8 Posts is excellent :D. Also, taking the trouble to write such a detailed informative post gets a big thumbs up too :). Keep up the good work!! G

  • Thanks OGB03. We're getting a big new Woollies in our town and the tiny old one is getting emptier by the day. Couldn't see any there on Saturday so fingers crossed the offer lasts until the new one opens.
