Samsung D600 for free??

Hiya to all!

I just need some advice before going ahead with this deal I found on esave.com. Not even sure if I am posting it on the right thread...

Samsung D600

It tells me I can get the Samsung D600 for free with 1000 off-peak calls for a 12 months contract (with Orange). And through cashback, I don't have to pay anything monthly. This deal seems too good to be true knowing it is quite a good phone too... so is there anything I should know? :confused:

Phones with the same deal for those who are interested...

Nokia 7360

Sony Eric. W550i

LG S5200
Thanks

  • As far as cashback is concerned e2save are a very safe bet. Ive had all my cashbacks from them without any trouble. Also their Customer Service is second to none. I personally have no hesitation in recommending them.

    Is itemised billing compulsory and how much is it and what is the rate for texting? .............. never had a mobile phone - never needed one - so don't know if it's such a good deal? [stealth charges!]
    e2save are part of the Carphone Warehouse group - CPW have investors and shareholders who are looking for profits and dividends - generated from earnings. Giving stuff away free does not generate earnings.

    You've got me on it now, lol. What does everyone think of the free line rental for 12 months when it is only a 12 month contract?
    It sounds a bit shifty to me, but if they are reputable I can't really complain.

    Whats even good about this deal is that you can actually make a profit out it.

    If you go through QuidCo you can make at least £26.50 in cashback, meaning that you make a profit of £26.50.

    I actually found the information on hotukdeal, link below:

    I have just signed up to QuidCo, and today's deal is

    £41.50 for a completed contract (3 day special rate!)

    Even Better.

    Many thanks for this.
  • Yes this is an amazing deal - there are actually several at the moment through both E2Save and Onestopphoneshop - all on Orange 1000 off peak tariff. Both companies are part of Carphonewarehouse.
    E2Save have a 'safe as houses' reputation on cashback with OSPS certain difficulties seem to appear.

    These deals are common through the mobile industry - this one has all the classic symptoms of CPW chasing an Orange 'kickback' on a month end sales target. CPW will get £200-250 credit from Orange for each phone activated - so there's the incentive for CPW - they pass some of this on to the customer and hope on deals like this that there is a high percentage who don't claim their cashback.

    So in summary - great deals £200 phones effectively free or even been paid to take away - but remember to be disciplined enough to claim the cashbacks.

    How does that Quidco thing work? I don't really understand it. I have signed up, but I don't understand how you get money back.

    Thanks
