Hi. i need a contract phone with min 500 texts and 400 mins a month. i also want to use it as a camera and i only want to pay up to £30 a mth. there are plenty of deals out there but i have got bogged down with them. Any suggestions or guidance would be most appreciated. I also don't want to do this cahback redemption thing as i probably wouldn't!!!

    Ive just taken a new 18 month deal with 02 online £30 a month with 400 mins 1000 texts (picture messages come out bundle) and unlimited 02 to 02 calls with the 8mp tocco ultra, the phone cost £48.93 but the quidco cashback is £110 so that cancels that out and still gives £61 profit;) I opted for that deal over a few redemption deals.

    Or go via quidco and phones 4u they have the tocco ultra on vodaphone anytime text 18 tariff with £10 off per month meaning £25pm for 600 mins 3000 texts and £30 quidco. There will be other deals and phones about but those were the one i was looking for and 02 unlimited calls swung it for me as hubby is 02.
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Have you actually got the £110 cashback though?

    Quidco is not automatic cashback, it takes a couple of months to go through;)

    What I meant is has it tracked? I've made three purchases now from O2 through Quidco and not one of them has tracked.

    No it didnt track and i have put in a enquiry, as it tracked that i had been on the site and i have an order number, there were so many others not tracking with the £110 offer and quidco know there have been problems with this offer. Have you put in an enquiry?

    No I've given up and just gone with the 1 month rolling contract as I remember reading that someone had put in an enquiry and still haven't got anywhere.
