    I found this on Hotdeals to - I currently have my daughter's cast-off (and hence very tatty looking) Nokia 6230, while my OH and daughter have the much more snazzy Nokia 6230i.

    As I am only a small user, I was reluctant to take out a contract (I have on Orange OVP contract at the moment which works like a PAYG). However, this looked to good to miss, so I've gone for the 6230i on Orange 200 mins tariff. Signed up through Quidco for the additonal £41.50 back, and with the cashbacks, essentially the net cost is something like £1.50 per month (and for that I will get 200 minutes of x-network anytime calls, so I should recoup that by not paying call charges on the few calls I do make). And - as a regular cinema goer, I can carry on with Orange Wednesdays, which is worth at least another £13 a month (as we go at least twice a month!)

    OH has had cashback deals with the Carphone Warehouse, and these have always been paid very promptly, so hopefully this site should be the same. I like the terms of this one even more, as the cashback is distributed across the term of the contract. My OHs was all front loaded, (partly with line reduction for first 6 or months, then cashback paid in about month 4 or something) so while we had a big lump sum back at the start, that tends to have disappeared into the family moneypot somewhere, yet we are now paying £30+ a month for the phone. I know overall the price is still reduced, it just seems a lot that we are paying out now!

    Just need to make sure I write those dates down on the calendar!!

    a word of warning about e2save, they maybe part of carphone warehouse but that still does not stop them from trying underhand tricks to stop paying cashback. i sent my voucher for the last cashback of £100 to them with the final bill on time and i sent it by normal post, they acknowledged receipt of it by sending me a text message which i saved in my phone. 2weeks later i received a letter to say that i was not entitled to my cashback as they had received my cashback redemption too late.

    i sent them a nasty reply stating that if i sent my cashback request in 2 late then why had they sent me a text msg to confirm it had been received i also warned them i had saved the text msg and would be reporting them to trading standards if they didnt pay up, within a week a cheque was sent out to me, i didnt receive an apology or explanation. so make sure with all cashback requests u get proof of postage. i was lucky i kept the text msg
